On the social networking website, Ning.com, I was able to locate a social network that has potential to be extremely useful in my classroom.
The "La Casa Rojas-Podcast" social network is a website with uploaded podcasts by native speakers of the Spanish language.
The podcasts could be screened, and then played for the students in my classroom. I could have the students respond to the podcasts, write essays, respond orally, or answer questions about the podcast they heard as a method of assessing listening comprehension.
This also allows the students to hear native speakers, and develop their listening comprehension skills. Since I'm not a native speaker of Spanish, it's essential to create opportunities for the students to be exposed to native use of the language.
