Fun new resources

Just wanted to share a few fun new resources I found through Twitter (really, you should join Twitter!)

Vocab Genii - a fun vocabulary building game online. I played it and came across several words from the Academic Word List, which I use with students all the time.

Room for Debate - a wonderful resource from the New York Times, with articles about current events and controversial issues. 

StringNet - great tool that allows you to see how words are used in context.  This would be excellent for vocabulary building.

Classroom 2.0 - a social network for teachers who are interested in using technology and social media in the classroom.  I just joined, and there are lots of great groups discussing many different issues in educational technology.
