Magazine Cover

This is a magazine cover created in FD toys.  This was a simple and fun thing to create.  As a teaching tool, it would be a really fun way for students to create a visual aide for an oral presentation.  It could be used to help deliver information in any subject.  This post is from thing number 10 image generators. 

New York Time's book review

This is a link to the New York Times book review podcast for this week.  THis is #21 on podcasts.  This book review I think can be really fun in a classroom setting.  Its free and students can listen to it weekly.  It may help inspire them to read! 

Youtube

This is #20 on youtube!  Youtube is a great resource for teachers!  You can find almost anything that you are looking for ( and some things that you are not!)  Here is a video that I found.  It was sort of the anthem of my young life.  This add and the McDonalds rapping chicken McNuggets commercials are the 2 that I remember the most!

Flicker

http://www.flickr.com/photos/55757375@N06/  This is a link to my photo stream on flicker.  It is item number 5 Exploring flicker.  It is super easy to use!  It could be a fun way to create a class scrap book.  An idea would be to take photo's of students projects and post them all to a photo stream on flicker and send the link to parents so they have to opportunity to print any of there child's work, in stead of keeping the actual work!

Friendship wordle

          alt="Wordle: friendship"
          style="padding:4px;border:1px solid #ddd"></a>

this is a wordle from item number 12 "fun and games"

I found this tool to be very useful.  You could use it as motivation for your students,

or you could have the students create there own as a project or exam.  An idea would be 

after a lesson, have the students brain storm as many vocab word as they can remember in 

10 min.

Technology is so useful for children who are learning english as a second language.  There is software and I am sure there are free sites that are fun and interactive for the students to use.  Also there are programs that translate papers sent home or any corruspondence with parents into home language as parent may not be learning english.
