Lingt Classroom

Posted on 20:51 by Unknown

Lingt Classroom is a new site that is excellent for foreign language teachers. This site through an educational portal allows teachers to create interactive online voice based assignments (that include, text, images, video) and then track/assess students progress. These assignments are geared toward using your voice and allows students to listen to teachers and record their own voice.

Nanoogo

Posted on 20:37 by Unknown

Nanoogo is a wonderful new (beta) site that I just found out about from Kelly Tenkley's awesome blog. This is a really innovative site that is ideal for students for creating digital portfolios of projects and different items of what they've learned in the classroom. What makes Nanoogo so great is that it is free and there is an educational portal which allows teachers to monitor and track all student activity.

I highly recommend checking out Nanoogo by clicking here!!!

9 Slides is a site I've posted about in the past and is just a wonderful way to take your slideshow presentations to the next level. This site which is iPad compatible is wonderful for uploading presentations and then syncing them to video. This is ideal for teaching a new unit and especially for those giving staff trainings or professional development. Also, a user can track usage statistics for instant feedback.
