Today, I was lucky enough to come across a great site with some really useful tools for teachers using Moodle, Blackboard, or have their own website. The Center for Language Education And Research (CLEAR) at Michigan State University is a Language Resource Center that has been funded since 1996 by the U.S. Department of Education. After signing up for an account, you will have access to a wealth of great resources, most of which are free.
One resource I was really interested in was the audio dropboxes. These dropboxes allow students to record audio directly from its location and automatically "drops" the audio in the teacher's inbox. My mind immediately started thinking about what a great tool this would be for homework, ESL practice, elementary reading practice, etc. For districts with strict Internet policies, ask your district tech person to set up a space for you on your school server.
Below is an active dropbox. Free free to try it out.
