La Importancia de Ser Bilingüe

Is being bilingual really necessary in today's world where we have online translators at our fingertips?  ¡Claro que sí!


Justo Lamas gives his opinion about being bilingual.



MixBooks

An example of a mixbook in Spanish.  My students could write a story, illustrate it, and then publish it in a mixbook to share with others in the class, at home, or family and friends that live in other parts of the state, U.S. or world.

Sketchcast

Thanks to webinar from Saturday from Class2.0, I found another site. This would be much easier to use if I had a graphic tablet. May have to look into getting one or maybe I could experiment with the one at work first to see how well it works.

E-Books

I recently found a source for e-books written in Spanish that I could use in class. This is a trial to see how to post them, how user-friendly they are, and if it is available at school or if it is blocked.

Where would you prefer to live?

Twist our Words

Website where you choose the words to make a sentence. The news staff of Channel 4 say the words.



This may be handy for an ESL class. The teacher could give the list of words to the students and they could make sentences and then choose the best ones to make into videos. Not very useful for a foreign language class.
