ideas for IT in teaching

An awesome ‘baby’ French news site for all us French teachers out there. Just a brilliant site which I can’t wait to get on as a starter.

Quizlet is my new favourite app for making vocab flashcards that my students can access online to help them with their learning.  It is free to get an account and dead easy to input the terms and definitions. Sure, at the end of the day they are only flashcards, but you know what they say – sometimes the old ones are the best!

lingro is a new language learning site with a difference

lingro’s mission is “to create an on-line environment that allows anyone learning a language to quickly look up and learn the vocabulary most important to them”.

There are a number of things available at this site:

• The web viewer lets you enter the URL of a website, it then makes all the words clickable for definition and translation
• The free instant search dictionary also gives you a definition
• You can add words to your word list and play a flashcard game to learn them
