Zambombazo is a site that uses new and recent authentic cultural products to create fun, interactive activities. []

Teachnology is a website with various lesson plans and there also many work sheet samples available. []

Katie's Resources
[|www.quia.com] This website provides a large variety of tools including - Templates for creating 16 types of online activities, including flashcards, word search, battleship, challenge board, and cloze exercises. Quia activities are designed with different learning styles in mind to suit the needs of all your students.- Complete online testing tools that allow you to create quizzes, grade them with computer assistance, and receive detailed reports on student performance [] This is a site full of resources for Spanish lesson plans. It has thematic curriculum units with cultural connections, lessons, and handouts. It has instructional and cultural videos subtitled in simple Spanish with key words and phrases. It also has illustrated web-based picture-books with new accompanying story and folktale videos. Also has realia resources such as tickets, currency and brochures from around the Spanish-speaking world.

[] This site is a new up and coming site; it is a mock facebook that can be used by teachers! The teacher creates a profile and then creates groups; each class period could have a group and they can post comments or see their grades. This would be a great tool for teachers that want to have their own website.

[] Here's a great learning tool to recommend to your students: News and feature articles about contemporary events in Spain and Latin America written for different levels of learning

[] This website allows you to create surveys, polls and quizzes. Students can send in their responses via the website, email, facebook, twitter or text. It could be used to take a poll of how well the students are understanding- it's anonymous or they can take guesses on the material.

[] This site allows you to create sets of notecards that you can either study online or print off. This would be great for students to study from at home if they are unable to take home their books.

Oral assessment: [] Voki is a relatively new website that incorporates avatars and oral speaking into the classroom. For an assessment, students would be able to create their own avatar and then record their oral presentation onto the program. This website would be a fantastic way to assess a student's speaking ability, pronunciation and fluency but not having to take the time to test each students during class time. Students would be able to go home and upload it and the teacher could listen and assess when he/she had the time.
