Unique opportunities for language learning?

I’ve read “The iPod Project: A mini lab” and I thought of posting some of the weaknesses and strengths of the project here:

El Cantazo: Las chicas son guerreras (Canciones para ELE y más)

Pues no hacía tiempo ni nada que no publicaba algo para la sección de canciones…que igual, no sé, evoluciona y se abre a más idiomas. Pero vamos, según sople el viento. Que para eso está el blog y su cátedra…:P

Hay otras versiones de la canción, creo que de Tequila, pero ésta es la que me gusta, entre otras cosas porque seguro que nos provoca más de una o dos nostalgias de nuestra juventud…

This is not an apology

I was going to write the sort of I’m-sorry-I-haven’t-blogged-for-a-while post when it hit my mind that this apology should never really take place. Blame it on the judeo-christian background.

After getting over the shock of realizing that 90% of my digital native students didn’t know what GoogleDocs was, problems started when they started to add collaborators to their projects.

Spanish lessons for English speakers

EFL videos: adding subtitles with Overstream

There are many some web-based tools out there to edit videos online: Viddler, Jumpcut (which does not longer accept uploads, so clearly in the deadpool -probably to send users to Flickr, another Yahoo company)
