Teachers can use Pinterest for ideas to spice up lessons that can be relatively repetitive and boring. Students can use Pinterest to discover new ideas to study and review.

  • #8: This video was created by using PowToon (www.powtoon.com) which is a free website where you can make your own animated videos and animated presentations. Making unique videos of the various conjugations in Spanish will certainly help students retain the information. Video Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RuevxWIoCM
  • #10: This chart was created on Inspiration 9. It is a practice worksheet that can be used during the unit of past tense. The worksheet is a visual organizer for students to separate their thinking. The student first has to read the sentence in English and then decide if the condition of the sentence follows under preterit or imperfect rules. The third box is for the student to translate the same sentence into Spanish, which allows the student to practice -ar,-er and - ir endings as well as vocabulary. The last box is where the student must justify why he or she used the preterit or imperfect. The rules of both preterit and imperfect are on the bottom of the worksheet.

  • #12: The best part about this app is that if a student has surpassed a level, he or she may test out of it in order to move on to the next lesson. This way students dont have to sit through a repetitive lesson that other students have not yet mastered. Language App source: https://schools.duolingo.com

  • #14: The APP and website provides charts of tenses for every word. This is exceptionally valuable when a student needs verification of a conjugated verb. Students can also enhance their vocabulary by having speedy access to this resource. Full sentences do not translate well and teachers should advise students to only use it as an online dictionary for one and a helpful source for conjugating verbs.
