Tandem learning

Online chat

Class-based (free sites)

Explore these with a partner. Add useful ones to your Delicious page, with tags and notes. Be ready to explain to the group why you feel the site is useful, in what way, for what students.

Putting it together

Share your favorite sites with the group. Please explain why you like them and how they might best be used. If time, work in groups to create an activity plan (Lesson plan template).
