**What Our Cluster Teachers are Doing** I have been using a Moodle with my senior Spanish classes. It is hosted by ninehub.com which is a free moodle hosting site with no advertising for educational courses. It is a great way for students to access additional resources from home and to post their own work to you. It certainitily has lots of potential, however to date while my moodle is regularly updated it is hard to get ALL students to use just as regularly, so you will need to be really specific with tasks.

My Year 11 Spanish class in groups have produced their own educational videos on Yr 11 Spanish topics. We used moviemaker and encountered alot of technical difficulties, students had such a diverse range of capabilities using IT. One group has finished their video and posted it on Youtube, and the rest should follow this term. A real obstacle is access to computers, and uploading video files (most wouldn't allow this) so although I allowed classtime for project most of the editing of the video had to be done by individual students with their home computers.
