Laura Valentina Gallego Berrío's curator insight, April 24, 2020 12:51 PM
In times of coronavirus, this isan amazing option in order to improve the knowledge, reading and learning with the storytelling books on internet.
''There is the Translator tool which allows anyone with an interest in children’s stories to contribute with translating stories from the website. The way it works is east: simply select the language you want to translate to and the one you like to translate from and StoryWeaver provides you with suggestions of stories to work on.'' It has everything to have a class online with children very easily.
Joan S. Arias's curator insight, May 30, 2020 6:30 PM

My Favorite Free and Easy Apps for World Languages

My Favorite Free and Easy Apps for World Languages | iGeneration - 21st Century Education (Pedagogy & Digital Innovation) | Scoop.it
For the world language classroom, consider blending favorite old apps (like the Evernote suite) with Word Reference and apps specifically designed for the language being studied.
Calliope Global Fran's curator insight, November 28, 2015 9:08 PM

There are so many more amazing apps to add to this list: Chatterpix, Padlet, Nearpod, Periscope, Thinglink, Kahoot!, Duolingo, and more.

I would also use a couple different apps instead of the ones listed: Schoology instead of Edmodo, Notability instead of Evernote, etc. To read more about creativity and productivity in the WL classroom, please read my blog at http://hablamostechnology.blogspot.com
