Thing 11

Do you want to travel to a Spanish country, but are a bit fearful because you don't know the language?  Well guess what, you can download actual lessons onto your I-Pod using SpanishPod.  I explored this site and was so a fascinated with all the things it has.  It ranges from actual lessons to answers to grammar questions and much more.  This is a good tool especially for independent students.  Definitely a good resource.

Thing 10



I love this feature.  I can see myself using it a lot especially to engage students.  It was a bit confusing to use, but once I figured it out, it was not that difficult to create.   I think I need more practice, but am happy that I was introduced to it.

Thing 9

This has a lot of information.  I may have to go back and revisit.  So far, the best one has been  Technorati.  I tried looking for Spanish sites, and was directed to Spanish 24/7, and a I-tune website that students can use to practice their Spanish came up.  I would have never discovered this.   I think this is an excellent tool especially for those students that are so tech savy. 

Thing 8

I can see how RSS would be a great tool.  Many of the websites that I go onto are Spanish websites.  Unfortunately, it looks like more than a few are not set up to feed into google reader.  However, as I find more and more websites, I now know where to put them for easy reference.

Thing 7

I cannot believe how many advances in technology we have seen.   I have to say that the one that I think I will  be most grateful for is Skype.  As my children venture out into the world, I think it will be an excellent way to keep in contact with them.  Not only will I be able to talk to them, but see them as well.  I wonder what can top this. 

Thing 6

I had seen this before, but had no idea how to do it.  I love it.  After six small lessons, I feel as though I know so much more and I am not even half way there.  Fun and interesting stuff.
