A big thank you to Joe Dale for bringing to my attention, through his Integrating ICT into the MFL classroom blog, the Innovative Teachers NETWORK.

In their words, once you register (It's FREE)...

"On the Innovative Teachers Network you will find a wealth of content, debate, resources, help and contacts from leading ICT practitioners around the world.

Don't be afraid to take advantage of everything the Network has to offer!"

Well an offer that may be of interest to practitioners is Songsmith, a clever tool that is designed to generate backing tracks automatically to match the sound of the user's voice. A free download and although it may be 102MB in size it is worth the wait.

Tutorials are available on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/user/songsmithvideos.

Here is an example of How to Start a New Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFk5Ab3NPkY and another Songsmith Tutorial - Change the Sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ebWpqvmqV8.
