Teaching Language Arts consists of teaching a very wide assortment of skills, including improving a students vocabulary, helping students understand how to craft together the written word, and also how to inspire creative ideas.
The online resources listed by Byrne in this article can help with all of those tasks.
For example, a< href="http://www.idiomdictionary.com/">IdiomDoctionary.com is a website that can help students to understand and appreciate the sometimes difficult-to-comprehend concept of idioms.
BooksShouldBeFree.com is a listed site where students and teachers can obtain free audio books covering a wide range of topics and interests.
Byrnes even lists creative uses of sites like Google Docs or the
Bubbl.us mind mapping website for creating a storyline from scratch.
A few other sites covered in this article include the online dictionaries Wordia and Visuwords, the adolescent literature website AdLit.org, and the very useful website 60 Second Recap where students or teachers can review sixty second book summaries in video format - a great way for teachers to select books that they may want to cover as part of the Language Arts curriculum.
