Web+Sites+Assignment

I have spent lots of time searching the web for sites that incorporate technology in the classroom. These are my favorites.

[|http://www.prometheanplanet.com] (This has a wealth of ready-to-use flipcharts for the Promethean board that I teach with. Although there are very few flipcharts that have been created specifically for Spanish, many can be modified and the games that are provided are great. These flipcharts incude explanations for students, practice activities and assessment options.)

http://www.classzone.com/books/en_espanol_1/?state=RI (This accompanies my Spanish level I book. It has vocabulary lists and grammar explantions as well as practice activities. It also has links that relate to the cultural focus of each chapter. I especially like this site because students can access it at home and practice the vocabulary and grammar that is specific to what we are studying. In Spanish there is often more than one way to translate a word. The sequence of vocabulay units also makes it difficult for students to use general practice sites. Because this site accompanies our textbook, the vocabulary is always the same and in sequence with what they have learned..) http://www.classzone.com/books/en_espanol_2/?state=RI (This is the same as above except that it accompanies my Spanish level II book)

http://www.colby.edu/personal/b/bknelson/exercises/ (This has various grammar activites, many with a specific cultural focus. This is especially great for my upper level classes but there are also activities available for my Spanish I and II classes. I really like the way that students can practice grammar using a cultural theme.)

http://www.ga.k12.pa.us/academics/ms/8th/Mersky/aboutme/index.htm#anchor630518 (This site has a complete plan for students to create a Powerpoint presentation about themselves in Spanish. I think this would be a great final exam project for my students. The topics could be adapted to various levels.)
