Thanks for sharing this Nick

Foreign language is not only a useful skill, it improves your cognition and this method involves meta-cognition

José Antonio Gutiérrez Flores's curator insight, June 11, 2014 1:10 PM

Este es un sitio  muy  útil para el auto-aprendizaje, sólo se necesita estar motivado. Puedes elegir entre una gran variedad de contenidos, que se irán adaptando a tus intereses. El proceso de aprendizaje se basa principalmente en ir conociendo nuevo vocabulario que se va guardando en listas de palabras mientras se está navegando y disfrutando de contenido. Incluye canciones, letras y películas completas.

EverySlide | Interactive Presentations | Audience Response System

Patty Ball's insight:

"EverySlide is a great presentation tool that you can use with your students. Here is how it works:
Create a presentation in PowerPoint or Keynote, the same way you always did. Upload it to everyslide.com and press present. You will get a unique URL your students can use to join your slideshow using any device they happen to have. Now ask a question or run an instant poll.

After the presentation, you can review participants' interactions online or download their responses and answers as a spreadsheet."
