More Tools and Voicethread

In the section "More Tools...". a section what seems useful for teaching English is Online Books, Poems and Short Stories. As books become more expensive, this is a great resource. I looked at the Create a Quiz and found this to be geared to classes where knowledge of information is tested. I'm not sure how I could use this for ESL. Voicethreads seems like a really good tool for pronunciation practice.

  1. Suzanne, we'll be taking another look at VoiceThread and I've got some good handouts to go with it. Perhaps you already know that Mark has been using VoiceThread for some time now with his online pronunciation class.

  2. Suzanne,
    I looked at voicethread for quite a while, and it does have some potential, but for pronunciation for individual works, I like howjsay.com
