[] This is a great resource for creating rubrics. I used this in education classes at the UMN and have used this website at St. Mary's too. Making rubrics on this website is very easy and it is a great starter-tool. You are able to get ideas for how to grade students for specific tasks (i.e. presentations or papers) but you are also able to change the text and make up your own information.

[] This websites enables you to convert files. I looked at the file conversion list and I think that it listed any file that I would ever want to convert. I noticed that you are able to convert .docx documents to .doc. That would be very very helpful for a teacher if she/he doesn't have the new version of Microsoft Word and students forget to save their documents in the .doc format. This might be easier than replying to the e-mail and asking the student to re-send the document.

[] On this website students and teachers are able to create flashcards. You can create flashcards and print them out. This would be a great tool for my future Spanish class. I could make flashcards for my students to use or for games we play in the classroom. My students could also use this website as a tool when studying for exams or for learning vocabulary.

[] I love this website! It would be great for my students to use this to create comics in Spanish. There are other comic programs as well but I thought this one was the quickest and easiest to use. The other websites required a lot more work. I would want my students to focus more on the content and less on the specifics about the comic.

[] This is another website that would be great for my Spanish classes. My students can create short Spanish videos and we can watch them in our class. Students can work on producing and understanding the Spanish language and have fun while doing it.

[] This website would be helpful for teachers and students. One thing I thought I could use this for would be to have my students create floor plans of their bedrooms and label everything in Spanish.

[] This is a great resource for students that have never or have a hard time creating an outline or organizing ideas for a research paper. This can be used in many classes since there are many classes that require students to write papers.

[] A list of resources for Spanish teachers. Other teachers can also look up resources for their content areas. This is a good place to start looking for ideas.

[] This is a relatively simple website to use to create surveys for students. To relate it to my Spanish classroom - I could create a quiz in Spanish asking them about themselves and their experience with the Spanish language or other languages/cultures.

[] This website is great for creating online quizzes and organizing the results. This would be helpful in essentially every classroom. One thing to note is that it is not free (though there is a free trial).
