One person that’s regularly on the Ontario Educators’ list is @sylviaduckworth. She’s a regular Twitter user and sends out some great content. Sylvia is definitely someone that you want to follow, particular if teaching French using AIM is of interest to you. She has a strong passion for this.
I’ve just recently stumbled on her French iOS Applications blog. It’s bookmarked and now listed in the Ontario Edublogger list.
This has real interest for me. That little guy that hangs out at our house is soon going to be in a situation where he’s serious about French as a language.
Of course, I’ll want to make his environment as rich in both languages as I can.
That’s where Sylvia’s blog will come handy. She’s devoted this blog to downloading and evaluating applications that would be appropriate for use in the FSL classroom. She has a “so far” list…
and a much longer to-do list. It’s a very ambitious goal! Those of us who are interested in this will truly benefit from her efforts.
She’ll have plenty of visits from me over the next while as these all roll out.
Bring it on, Sylvia! This will be a truly unique blog. I can’t find anything similar and neither can Zemanta which I use for related links.

Sylvia’s one of my gurus, as an AIM teacher incorporating tech into my classroom. So glad she’s got an iPad these days!
