The spreadsheet allows you to find games in your target language. An upside of this approach is that localizations of major video games create fully immersive experiences for the player in a target language. A down side is that scaffolding work and additional resources (the console, the game, etc) will be needed to integrate them into a curriculum. But a helpful starting place.

TEACHER GAMING NETWORK

Teacher Gaming Network is a excellent site where educators can go to create their very own games. Educators control all the content in the game and choose different styles questions to incorporate into the game such as: T/F, matching, multiple choice, etc. Also, there are up to 5 different styles of games they can create (plus account) as well as browse through other games created by other educators. For Kapulers Pinterest board on Game Based Learning click here.

From Play Station to Active Learning

KAHOOT

Kahoot is a fantastic easy to use learning tool that can be used to Gamify a classroom. The way this works is very similar to when a person goes to a restaurant/sports bar and then get a device to use to answer questions that are being displayed on the TVs. The players then answer in real time and see the results up on the TV to see who was correct and leading w/ the highest score, etc The questions a user creates can include images, video, text, etc and is done through a very user friendly drag-n-drop interface. This is a great tool for differentiating instruction as educators can find which areas that specific students may need help in. Students can even be the leader and be the one to create a "Kahoot" (session) and quiz their peers.

GINKGOTREE

Ginkgotree is an ambitious new educational tool that is revolutionizing the way textbooks/ebooks are being used in the classroom. It's kind of like a cross between a textbook/book w/ iBooks author mixed in, where an educator can take any content from a textbook, web page, or online media and then digitize it to be read on any device (i.e. laptop/mobile platform). This is perfect for educators who like the adaptability to teach what "THEY" want to teach and not having to stick by the textbook. They can spend more time teaching and less time lecturing.

GOCLASS

GoClass is an amazing web tool/app for creating lessons that can done on mobile devices. This is all done through an innovative user interface where educators use the web to create their students/class/courses and then have students complete them on their mobile devices. Best of all, the teacher creates all the content, student accounts, and then has the option to "lock" down the device while they are presenting a lesson to them and "unlock" them for assignments to be completed. Finally, educators can then assess students work and in real-time while archiving and generating reports.

Free Innovative Reading Program: Why Read 1,000 Science Stories?

We believe students should read 1000 science stories because they are our future decision makers, and that politicians need to read 1000 science stories because they are our current decision makers. As they read science, they will pick up an amazing amount of useful knowledge, while laying down the neural pathways to use science throughout their life. If this happens, the future of human decision making will be bright!

READ 1 SCIENCE STORY PER DAY (for just 5-6 minutes!)

What is 6-Minute Science? 6-Minute Science is a revolutionary new way to learn science that provides students with a broad foundation of scientific knowledge by encouraging them to read hundreds of short science stories.

English is spoken in England, and Globish can be spoken in the global village, everywhere by everyone. They can be called Globiphones. Native English speakers have great difficulties when they want to reduce their words down to the 1, 500 key ones. As a simple globiphone, you are satisfied as soon as language is just understandable. Globiphones are at least seven times more numerous than Native English speakers . We should accept the evidence that a new language has appeared!
