World Languages Dropbox

World Languages Dropbox

Posted by Caleb Bloodworth

Hola a tod@s,

Just a quick update to let those of you not on Twitter (and if you are not, what are you waiting for?!) know of something exciting that has just started today. Language educators in the UK—the "#mfltwitterati"—have had a shared Dropbox in which to share lesson plans and other resources for quite some time.

Now, Kristy Placido and I thought it was high time for the rest of us teachers in the Americas to get in on the collaborative fun. As the account was literally just opened today, we do not yet have a lot of resources to share... But that will change with YOUR help!

If you are a world language teacher in the US, Canada, Latin America, etc., and would like to join the shared Dropbox, either comment on this post OR send me (@cbloodworth) or Kristy (@placido) a direct message on Twitter with your e-mail address and what language(s) you want to collaborate on. See you there!

Edit #1 (7/8/13): We will be using similar guidelines to the aforementioned UK Dropboxes, which may be found here. Of particular importance is that you only post materials that you have created (or that you have express permission from the creator to post) and that do not infringe on any copyright or other intellectual property regulations. Also, please include links in your documents to video or audio files stored elsewhere rather than uploading these large file types to the Dropbox itself. This will help us all have a little more space to share. Thanks for your understanding in this matter!

Edit #2 (7/8/13): I've just created a wikispaces account that we can use to upload larger media files. It is located here but is currently under construction. Feel free to go ahead and join, though!
