Technology in the language classroom Technology and Teaching: Finding a Balance It's equally important to expose students to information literacy skill sets…In a world flooded with information to read, libraries have never been more important. Along with digital and information literacy skill sets, it's still vital that we promote and encourage a love of reading across all formats -- along with a facility for questioning, analyzing, discerning and synthesizing with other media.-Andrew Marcinek Director of Technology & EducatorU.org Co-founder, Boston, MA

Sift through the diversity of available tutorials. • Once you weed out the less helpful ones, you'll see there are plenty of educational channels dedicated to specific languages. • Spend some time looking for the best channels and videos for language learning.

showbie • The paperless classroom made simple. • Showbie makes it easy to assign, collect and review student work in iPad classrooms. • Showbie is both an app and a website – it allows for you to create classes (as many as you like) and have students upload their documents, images etc into showbie where you can give feedback either via notes or voice or an image and only the child who you are giving feedback to can see it or not give feedback via the app! I have created a school Showbie account for my school and would advise someone from your school signing up and administering the invites as this as it allows for unlimited assignments rather than just signing up and having a limited number.- Raff’s rant. https://twitter.com/Showbie www.showbie.com/
