Newsmart Looks Like A Great Site For High-Intermediate & Advanced ELLs

Newsmart

Newsmart uses articles from the Wall Street Journal to promote learning English as a second language. It's a slick site, and it's free. Users pick an article, and then there are color-coded portions in it for vocabulary and grammar. Click on it, and you are given a question about the in-context grammar or vocabulary issue. You then accumulate points and badges.

9Slides

9Slides one of the best sites/apps around for "flipping a classroom" is now available for the Windows App store! This is a excellent educational tool for adding audio/video narration to a presentation (PDF, Keynote, PPT) Some of the ways educators are using this in the classroom are for: Guided learning, Pecha Kucha style presentations, and even Flipping a classroom. [Written by dkapuler on Dec 09, 2013]. Also, 9Slides is nominated for "Best new Startup of 2013" for the annual Crunchies Awards.

Simple English News: Yes, you can learn English!

It's Never Too Late to Learn English, Nanotechnology, The History of Newspapers, etc.

Nihongo-E-Na.com: Great site for learning Japanese!

NetClick

NetClick is a wonderful new site that I found out about from TXTNLRN, an innovator in using mobile phones in the classroom. NetClick is a great way to make existing slide presentations interactive. The way this works is simple a user uploads a presentation (must be in PDF format) then NetClick converts it to be interactive. Students then enter a code on the web or mobile device to connect to that presentation. Then students can interact w/ the slides to answer questions given by the teacher, tap specific items on a slide, or indicate which parts of a presentation are confusing. Teachers can then get real-time instant feedback. [Written by dkapuler on Feb 20, 2013 09:38 am]

9 SLIDES

Nine Slides or '9Slides' is a wonderful site for adding narrations/video to a presentation. This is very easy to do, supports a wide variety of files (PPT, Keynote, etc), and works great on mobile devices. Also, a finished presentation can be embedded into a site or blog.

9Slides app

9Slides one of my favorite Web 2.0 websites for adding video/audio narration to a wide variety of presentations has just launched a free iPad app. This is ideal for mobile learning and any district that uses iPads. This can be used by either a teacher or student to create a stunning presentation and engage their audience by providing an actual video narration to their presentation. The free app works w/ a wide variety of presentation styles such as: Adobe, Microsoft PPT, Google Drive, and more. Another nice feature is the ability to share and track analytical data of your presentation. [Written by dkapuler on Feb 12, 2013].

Narrable

Narrable is a nice site for creating a dynamic slideshow by adding audio to photos. This is done by uploading photos and either calling into Narrable to add a narration or uploading an audio file. A finished slideshow can then be embedded into a site/blog or shared via Facebook or email. For a more detailed review check out Richard Byrne's award winning blog. [Written by dkapuler on Feb 12, 2013]. For his Pinterest board on Presentations/Slideshows click here.

NEWSPAPERS ONLINE, PROGRAMS FOR CREATING AN IN-CLASS NEWSPAPER

TROVE.com

Trove.com enables one to create online personalized newspapers to read and to share. In other words, sites that let you create topics that then provide daily attractive webpages to read, along with sending you daily email updates. See other The Best Sites For Creating Personalized Newspapers Online. Owners of The Washington Post created what looked to be an excellent tool for this purpose earlier this year called Trove.

NEWSELA.com

selects texts on popular current events and rewrites them at different levels. The content is the same, but you can divvy up the texts according to the strengths of your students!

Create A Personalized Newspaper "News 360"

News 360 lets you easily create a personalized newspaper. One difference it appears to have from several of the other personalized virtual newspaper sites is that it's "smart." In other words, it will analyze your Google Reader or Facebook feeds to determine interesting stories in addition to letting you determine your subjects of interest. Among The Best Sites For Creating Personalized Newspapers Online.

9 Slides

9 Slides is an innovative new (beta) site for creating presentations/slideshows. This is done by uploading slides/photos and video and then syncing them together. The video and picture can by synced together and played side by side in the same window which makes presenting much more effective. Once a presentation is completed it can then be shared online w/ others or embedded into a site or blog.


NEWS ON TV

MixMediaNow.com: Online TV!

Watch one of the most popular online TV channels available today. Over 80 channels offer you news, entertainment, music, sport and more. Please note that all the streaming media contents are property of their respective owners. The streams are played using your Windows Media Player software.

NewsOnTV.net: Watch Live News Channels here!

Nearpod

Nearpod is a site that I just found out about from Free Technology 4 Teachers. Nearpod is a mobile platform pilot program that teachers can apply for. If they get accepted they then have access to the Nearpod tool which allows them to create dynamic interactive presentations. Students then receive the presentation on their mobile device which they can submit responses to. This is ideal for teachers as they can engage their students and track/monitor their students' progress.

NHK Japanese News in English

National Parks in USA

US National Park Service site with interactive activities focusing on national parks in the areas of animals, people, history, nature, science, and the parks themselves. No need for a log-in to use the site, but students can become "Web Rangers" with an account.

Newstin

Newstin is the newest addition to The Best Visually Engaging News Sites. Click on "Click to open Newstin Map - Visual Navigation" and you'll get an eye-opening interactive table of contents.

"News Lessons In Simple English"

Sean Banville is the creator of several excellent websites for English Language Learners and their teachers. "FREE Handouts, Listening & Quizzes in Simple English - Read About the Latest News and Learn English - It's Easy." Current news materials that are even more accessible to English Language Learners than on his Breaking News site. (See also Breaking News English).

KNOTEBOOKS

Knotebooks was a great collaborative site for teachers and students for taking notes and then sharing w/ others. Not only can student take notes but they can create study guides and share them online. Also, teachers can create educational resources and share them as well. But since its no longer supported, go to Kapuler's top 10 sites for other note taking programs by clicking here.

Publishing Student Work

Note Pub

If you're working with students who have very little technology experience, and you just want them to have an easy place where they can paste their work (and where other students can view it, too, after the links to all student sites are posted on a teacher page), Note Pub might just be the web application to use.

EASY NOTECARDS

Easy Notecards is a new (beta) site for creating notecards. What makes Easy Notecards stand out from other notecard creation sites is the ability to link cards to text books. This is a very handy feature and makes the studying process a lot easier. For a much more detailed review check out Free Technology 4 Teachers. Click here for Kapuler's Top 10 sites on Note taking.

Media Research Center Launches MRCTV

MRCTV is a fantastic new video sharing site for right-minded Americans. With channels like NewsBusters, Liberals Behaving Badly, CNSNews.com, and The Hollywood Channel, MRCTV.org will quickly become your go-to place to view the latest videos, and an excellent place to post your own videos. Several prominent conservative websites and blogs have already signed on to use MRCTV to host their videos instead of YouTube.

19 PENCILS

19 Pencils is a new (beta) site from the great, iLearn Technology. This site is ideal for creating and sharing resources such as, quizzes and websites. Also, teachers can track student progress through a unique URL that is generated. Finally, this is a very easy site to use w/ a nice polished/innovative look.

Zapaday

Zapaday is a new (alpha) site for getting news on the web. What makes Zapaday so special is it tries to bring you news of the future rather than current news. Stefan Hoevenaar, founder of Zapaday: "The internet makes most news old news, instantly. Journalism is now finding new roles, focusing on background stories, opinions and news previews. An open news agenda supports that change. We believe news agendas should be open and free." The way this is done is by Zapaday bots that scan the internet for news on over 4000 sites. Then the content is created by "us" the users. Actual, this is kinda like a giant wiki that people can edit and share by way of creating calendars and other type of news events.

Newsy

Newsy.com is a multi-perspective online news source that analyzes world news and produces 2-to 3-minute, streaming video clips. Newsy is a site that - in short videos - compares how major news events are covered by media throughout the world. It's similar to Link TV. Since the speaking is pretty fast and relatively high-level, so it's probably only accessible to advanced English Language Learners. It does provide a transcript to the audio, but it's not actually closed-captioned. That doesn't make it particularly useful to ELL's.

NetVibes

NetVibes.com: combines Web Tools like online chat, Text-to-Speech, Whiteboard, etc. for excellent learning of English, French or Spanish.

Newscred - Online Newspaper Creator

Newscred looks like a great way students (and anyone else) can create their own personalized online newspaper. The site has 2,500 news feeds. It's simple as pie to set-up your paper, and you can create multiple papers on different topics. Since it's on the topics they choose, and shown in an attractive form, it will certainly provide high-interest reading material that one can hope they'd want to 'fight-through' a bit to comprehend. See more at The Best News/Current Events Websites For English Language Learners 2009.

NHKOnlineEnglish

(Online English Transcripts, TOEIC Levels 450~600)

Gimundo.com: Good News Stories only.

Video News

Cast is sort of a "one-stop shop" for online video news. It's easily searchable, and you can set-up your own newsfeed on any topic that will be automatically updated and accessible. It looks good. In many ways, it's like a NewsCred for video news (Demo Girl has just created a screencast on how to use that web application). Also see The Best News/Current Events Websites For English Language Learners.

New York Times "Skimmer" Is Officially Released

The New York Times Skimmer, a visually engaging way to read the paper online, is now officially released.

Accessible News in Easy English

This is sort of a version of BBC News designed for younger people. The lay-out, writing, and choice of stories is very inviting.
