Fun activity #3: ¡Arriésgate!
premium
Fun activity #3 is Jeopardy (¡Arriésgate!) courtesy of the great web 2.0 tool Jeopardy Labs (free and no account required!). I’ve known about this tool for a long time but never just sat down and used it. It’s easy to make and easy to use (except there’s not really a function for no one to […]

¡Hola! Soy profesora de español en el estado de Kentucky en los Estados Unidos. Unos cuantos otros profesores y yo hemos decidido pedirles a nuestros estudiantes que se involucren en Twitter – twitteando en español, con otros hispanohablantes, para que aprendan comunicarse mejor en la comunicación interpersonal. ¿Es usted un hispanohablante que quiera twittear con […]

The Pbs Kids website’s Maya & Miguel section not only has a nice selection of Spanish fun, but one of the features is an interactive comic creator, in which you select the background and then choose which words you want to use and which pictures match the words. Wait– it’s in Spanish, you choose the […]

I just tagged on my Delicious all the Spanish-language corporate websites that I’ve mentioned on my blog. It makes it a lot more convenient to find the sites that my students have found interesting. You can find it here: http://delicious.com/wandermami/Corporate_Spanish_sites

A case for free-topic blogging

I despise traditional homework. I think in language acquisition, it doesn’t help. If you want kids to learn to drill conjugations, give them worksheets, but otherwise, keep ALL your assignments and assessment communicative. For me, this means that most of what I could ask them to do at home, they’ll get frustrated doing on their […]

Here’s another website idea–use nikecorre.com’s shoe-builder to build the shoe that’s right for you. I mean, for your students. http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeos/p/nikeplus/es_LA/footwear_finder

I just made my first Yodio

I love professional conferences, particularly KWLA! What could be better than a bunch of awesome teachers getting together and sharing their best practices? That’s how I found out about Yodio. My students in Spanish 3 today wandered the school taking pictures of teachers and staff “commanding” people to do things. They’ve written the commands and […]

Kids motivated by technology? Want to get them creating AND listening to their own Spanish? This could be the most revolutionary tool I have seen for my classroom in a long time. I made this video in about twenty minutes. http://www.xtranormal.com/players/jwplayer.swfhttp://www.xtranormal.com/players/embedded-xnl-stats.swf

Ever heard of Sorpresa TV? It’s kid shows, only in Spanish! Among the many shows is The Wumblers, featuring Raimundo, a bilingual Latino snail. You can watch episodes online. Really, you’ve gotta check it out. Talk about fodder for early Spanish learners!! Also check out the site’s section of bilingual games.

I’m all about sharing free activities we’ve found on the internet as opposed to paying a ton of money for not-very-useful curriculum supplements. The internet worksheet project my Spanish 2 students are currently working on has taken them in some really fun directions. They’ve come up with stuff I don’t know I ever would have […]

If you have a way to project a webpage somewhere in your room, you’ve got to check out es.barbie.com. We did this in Spanish 1 today to practice house vocabulary, but you could use it for so many things. We also did the makeover part of it to practice colors. It’s amazing how much they […]
