Comments on the three sites I browsed

Comments on the three sites I browsed.
Lately, I had the opportunity to experience the wonders of www.ardecol.ac-grenoble.fr/english
This website is absolutely fantastic for everybody, especially learners of foreign languages who want to practice the language, learn more, and have fun all at the same time. This page can be used in French, English, German and Spanish. The range of activities goes from doing projects involving discussion of topics, creation of stories and writing to making interviews, participating in forums, reading, and website quizzes among others. It also provides learners with all the necessary tools and resources needed to perform the activities successfully. This is a website to develop cognitive skills along with reading and writing.
http://www.techlearning.com/ is a magazine for teachers covering a wide variety of topics, especially technology in education, so teachers can improve their students' test performance, spelling, writing, and so on by getting ideas from the different sources this site offers. www.bham.wednet.edu/bio/biomaker.htm This tutorial guides the learner through the whole process of writing a biography in an entertaining way. It starts from raising relevant questions related to the person whose biography is being written. Then those questions need to be answered so a search is done, mostly aided by the links provided. The next step is to analyze the information in order to get the most relevant data. The last step involves how to tell the story involving the person's life and deeds. This tutorial also provides a sort of summary on the "Six traits of effective writing." If what is needed is a site where learners can improve their writing skills, this is it!
