Watch and Learn videos: Weta Learning Media

Looking for spelling materials online, I found you tube videos called Watch and Learn. These videos are filmed inside the classroom and they captured effective techniques for English teaching.

One of these videos is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqnhPwfVgKI&feature=channel



These videos are part of WETA Learning Media. Weta has created and sustained four award-winning educational multimedia services:
Reading Rockets; ColorĂ­n Colorado; AdLit.org; LD Online.

ESL printables

This website is of great help for ESL teachers: http://www.eslprintables.com/

If you create an account you can exchange original resources for your classes with other teachers. The idea is to upload your own original work, such as worksheets, flash cards, power point presentations, lesson plans or activities; and share it with others.

You can upload three printables per day, every time someone downloads one of your printables you earn points. With these points you are able to download printables of other teachers and use them in your classes.

Another plus, is that you can also create online exercises. (only with Internet explorer)



You will find hundreds of printables, I recommend it.
