You may not know that there are several free web tools and apps available to help your language learners communicate and collaborate. Students can use tools, such as Mindmeister and LinoIt to brainstorm or share ideas and resources about a topic. One Note not only allows students to share and create documents, but the Immersive Reader has incredible features to support learners, such as an online dictionary, text read aloud, and dyslexic friendly font. In our recent webinar, Collaborative Language Learning Ideas and Tools, shown below we share many other amazing collaborative web tools for teachers and students and also tips for getting students to work effectively in small groups. Also, check out this article with free collaborative whiteboard tools and this article with free sticky note tools.
