Resources Web Pages
Ed Lang-8: Here’s an interesting idea: a social web based on
Technology writing. This web page allows students to connect with
(TLC) native speakers around the world, who will correct their
writing for them. They, in turn, can boost their morale and make friends by
Templates & helping others with their Arabic.

Library Glogster: An interesting alternative, for you or your
students, to PowerPoint for making a lecture or
CNA-Q IT class presentation. Glogster makes one big poster,
Tutorials that you can move around with the mouse.
