University of Michigan Computer and Video Game Archive Val Waldron's spreadsheet of video games and their available localizations Games in your Language
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.

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. Google Account Set-Up: Start HERE!

Globish: Simplified English
Mankind always needed a common language to exchange and share ideas. Today, it is a certain form of English, with a sentence building that is not too demanding, no trouble with accents, and a small set of useful words (1 ,500). This language is so different from formal English, and more limited that it must given a different name Globish. 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!
