ICT tools to encourage verbal development:
==== Build your wild self : Great site to build an animal. Fabulous to get the students to use the language to describe all the characteristics of the animal. ====

====Audio Tools: Voice thread. This allows you to upload an image and then all your students could record details about the image, or their reactions or part of a story related to the image. ====

==== Audacity : simple audio recording package that allows students to capture their voice recordings. ====

ICT tools to encourage written language:
====Podcasting: You can easily find podcasts on itunes U or Youtube. Better still - Make your own. Use a simple camera set up and record yourself writing or talking. I use my iPhone/iPod or an iPevo camera. record using Quicktime, Windows Movie Maker Live or any other video recording software. ====

==== Google translator : This allows you to cut and paste text of one language and it will be translated into any number of different languages. ====
