Apps for Android Users

Not an iOS user? Does your school use Android instead of iOS? Then check out Richard Byrne's new website Android 4 Schools. He is the award-winning author of the Free Tech 4 Teachers blog which I highly recommend.

Welcome to a New Year of Tech

Welcome to a New Year!  I hope to bring you many great resources in 2012.  To start off the new year, here is a resource that all language students need--a dictionary!

In the past I have used SpanishDict.  I also like that it has an app with a Word of the Day and some other neat features. Collins, which has been publishing dictionaries since 1812, has a new beta site for dictionaries in French, German, Spanish, and English.  You can check them out at the Collins website.
