Hi Teachers! Here is a list of the web resources I have used in this lesson as well as the user names and passwords of the accounts I've created. You can use any of these you'd like or use your own. I have used each of these resources in my own classes and have found them very helpful. I hope you do too!
Gmail: Gmail is a wonderful tool! It does so many things other than just provide an email service. Gmail has a pretty cool function; it will not recognize any information added to an email address after the plus (+) sign. The reason this is handy is that, students are always forgetting their login information for websites or their email. So, when it comes time to complete an assignment, they can't access their information. With Gmail, students can use a class email address and place a plus (+) sign right before the @ symbol to make their own address. Then, when they register on a site, the site will recognize the address as unique but the login information will get sent to the class address. This way they will never lose their login information. For example, if Sally Jones wanted to register on a website using the class email, where the site asks for her email she would type (whatever you create as a class email address)+sallyjones@gmail.com. The site would recognize this as a legitimate address and her confirmation email/password would get sent to the class Gmail account.
StudySpanish: I LOVE this site! It is free and students can do work on here and have a record of it. You will need to register as a teacher and provide your students with your teacher ID so they can register. Then, to see the record of what they've completed, you'll login as a teacher and view your gradebook. Here's where you'll need to go:

PollEverywhere: I used PollEverywhere to set up some review questions. Students are able to submit their responses online. I've provided the questions here, feel free to use the questions in your own polls and provide the links to your students. Then, you can see the results and who was making errors. I asked students to include their initials so you know who participated and who didn't. I've included this activity in the gradebook.-Once logged in, click "Manage Grade Book" on the left column
