[] This site provides tons of different activities to be used in the classroom on a variety of subjects. It has games such as tic-tac-toe, bingo, jeopardy and also powerpoint presentations on toipcs. It even has sayings in both spanish and english that would be inspirational in the classroom. Some of the powerpoints cost money (it ranges, I've seen as low as $3) but most of the material is free; it is teachers paying teachers for their work by providing work of their own. It has phenomenal resources and presentations on every topic that could be covered ranging from countries to movies to specific grammar instruction.

[] TONS OF DIFFERENT LINKS []This is a site full of resources for Spanish lesson plans. It has thematic curriculum units with cultural connections, lessons, and handouts. It has instructional and cultural videos subtitled in simple Spanish with key words and phrases. It also has illustrated web-based picture-books with new accompanying story and folktale videos. Also has realia resources such as tickets, currency and brochures from around the Spanish-speaking world.

[|http://www.ieslanguages.org] This website is a compilation of methodologies based on teaching children their second language in the same manner they learned their first. The methods use a series of games, songs, poems and activities. Children learn to communicate with single words, then short, simple sentences, and later complex sentences. Reading and writing come later with further study.

[]Voki is an awesome website that allows students to record their own voice. It is great to use for speaking activities.  [] The website contains a wide variety of worksheets that the student can do online. The worksheets range from something as primary as learning the colors but also to the difficult levels of verb tenses such as present subjunctive. The website allows students to type in their answer to the question and then hear and see the correct answer. I like this idea because students do not get to hear enough Spanish and hearing it will help to learn how to say it. The site also contains links to other places in the website, such as an extensive list of vocabulary, information on how to use the website and lastly, a link to show you how to do Spanish accents above letters. This site will be useful to students because of their ability to interact with it. The students will be able to both see and hear the answers, allowing for further learning. It supports student learning, because it is also a good review to go back and review the different verb tense worksheets. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> [] Atando Cabos is a book that I would teach from during the year. It is for students at an intermediate level. The website is a great addition to the curriculum. It allows students to pick a chapter and then review online with practice exercises and then a self-test for each chapter. The site also has additional web resources if the student wanted to learn more about the topic in the chapter. If students took advantage of the site and its usefulness to review and to keep up with curriculum, they could greatly help their knowledge on Spanish. The website is an amazing tool which both students and parents could use. The site is easy to use; you just simply pick the chapter you want to review and then click on the “practice exercises” button. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> [|http://www.studyspanish.com] This is a website that can be used to study up on pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and verb tenses. Say that the student wanted to practice their verb conjugating skills; they click on verb drills and then pick which verb tense they’d like to practice and the computer will generate a unique quiz so the student can test themselves. The website is a great additional source to study and practice different vocabulary, verb tenses and grammar. The website allows the student to quiz him or herself allowing them to find out what they know and what they need to study. It is an interactive site that is easy to use for both parents and students. It is also easy to use and understand what the site asks for. When studying the vocabulary, the parents can ask the student either the English or Spanish word and the student then can answer in the opposite language. <span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">[] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Zambombazo is a site that uses new and recent authentic cultural products to create fun, interactive activities. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22px;">[] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Teachnology is a website with various lesson plans and there also many work sheet samples available. <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">[] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">[] <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Collaborize Classroom and Nicenet are both websites that one can use to create classroom websites.
