FAVOURITE SITES

This site gives you access to the theme tunes and lyrics of hundreds of French TV programmes, in particular a lot of children's cartoon series.

Training Videos on how to ..... in ICT and the Web
I have found out a LOT from this site. Russell Stannard has won an award for his work on this site. Clear, practical help.
Flash Video Big Books
This is a great site for anyone interested in using story telling as a key component of their courses. Some free stuff but the books you have to buy are pretty cheap and excellent quality. Highly recommended.
Wordle - Create word clouds
This is a fantastic little site for anyone wanting to be creative with Language. It creates key word diagrams on any topic in an arty way. It is a great way to introduce a topic or allow kids to create a keyword list to help them prepare for a speaking test
Smartboard Ideas
Royds School Language Department
Provides a useful model for anyone thinking of setting up a departmental blog site

Want to spruce up the atmosphere in your classroom? Don't want to get down and dirty with a paint pot or acres of new displays?

How about creating a new auditory landscape for your lessons?

There ares some really nice ideas in these clips from Marcus Cherrill at @ICanTeach_uk (Twitter) and http://www.icanteach.co.uk/.

Any ideas about FL songs you could add to some simple images to set the tone for particular lessons?
