Conjuguemos.com

My cooperating teacher told me about a great website for student practice. I decided to check it out and I think it will be very beneficial to me as a teacher. The site is called www.conjuguemos.com . "Conjuguemos" means "Let's conjugate" in Spanish.

The site contains all kinds of practice activities for world language learners. Here is a breakdown of the site's features:

Languages available: French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and Latin

Practice: Vocabulary by theme or by textbook chapters

Grammar from present tense regular verb all the way to imperative and subjunctive moods and everything in between.

Types of practice:  Timed drills, memory, hangman

Resources: Online flashcards, fill-in-the-blank activities, verb charts and crossword puzzles that can also be printed.

School/Teacher/Student Accounts: teachers can set up user names and passwords for their students. They can assign different types of practice and Conjuguemos records the students’ results.

After reviewing this site, I found it to be very user-friendly, pleasing to the eye and fun to use.  The layout is well organized and I think that students would find this site useful for building vocabulary and grammar recognition and for reviewing previously learned concepts.

As a teacher, I could use this site in several ways.  I could print flashcards, worksheets and crosswords for my students to use.  I could use the timed drills and flashcards with a Smartboard as a whole-class review exercises or I could take my students to the computer lab to use the site for practice or if I set up accounts for them, I could assign Conjuguemos practice as homework or as extra practice for students who need more help learning a concept.
