Welcome to my blog for World Language teachers! I am starting this blog as a way to share technological resources that can be used in the teaching of a world language. My goal is to share a different tool each week. However as a busy Spanish teacher myself, some weeks my schedule may not allow for it. If you decide to follow this blog, I would love to hear from you about resources that you use. Resources that I hope to share include apps, websites, and web 2.0 tools.
The first resource I would like to share with you is Socrative. Socrative is currently in beta. It is a student response system similar to the student response device systems that schools can purchase. However Socrative works with any internet capable device (i.e., a phone, iPad, iPod touch, or laptop). As a teacher you create an account. The site assigns you a room number which your students then log in to in order to complete the activities you assign them. The site supplies the teacher with immediate feedback through a spreadsheet format which is emailed to you. I highly recommend you check it out at: http://www.socrative.com/ My students love it. Especially the Space Race option.
