Okay, let's face it. Sometimes you just need a bingo game to consolidate vocabulary, switch gears, or just refocus the class energy.

"Bingo Baker makes it easy to create bingo cards. You can generate hundreds of random cards and print them using the printer-friendly PDF (with no ads or watermarks). You can also save paper (and waste electricity instead) by playing your bingo game online (it works on the iPad)."

Powerful QuickTime Features That You Might Not Know

Use QuickTime to combine many clips into one

http://www.wondershare.com/multimedia-tips/top10-features-quicktime-mac.html

Lots of great tips in this post; read the whole thing. But I really like number 9: "You can use QuickTime to combine video clips into one. QuickTime is far simpler than iMovie."

• Step 1: open a movie in QuickTime and place your movie "playhead" cursor at the end of the clip.
• Step 2: Drag & drop the 2nd movie to the open window. Then repeat to add more movie clips.
• Step 3: Export, or click the "Close" button and save the movie as a single file.

City Creator - Medieval, Modern or Snowy

Be creative, build a city!

http://www.citycreator.com/

Indulge your inner creator and build cities in one of three scenarios. If you want to save your cities and come back later, you'll need an account, but students can play with no account and simply screenshot their creation. (Returning to the same computer later will allow you to continue building since cookies from the site will keep track of changes.)

Young kids can have fun practicing mouse skills, and the resulting cities can be used as a story prompt, or illustration for an existing adventure, or even language practice for ELL or other language classes. ("Je vois deux maisons, un camion et trois voitures.") It's not mobile friendly!
