Google Spreadsheet

Another example of using Google Docs is this spreadsheet. This is the student's schedule at the school where I work back home. I share the schedule with the other teachers so we can all edit it according to our daily and weekly classes.
Here you can view the spreadsheet.

My Virtual tour

My virtual tour covers 4 Arab countries. Then I asked the students questions about the countries, like mentioning some cities in that country, the number of populations.. etc. 
The students will be required to do a virtual tour like this, referring to countries they have visited and would like to visit in the future, and add comments about the country on each stop.
Here is my tour.

My Wiki Lesson

My Wiki lesson is about teaching beginner students the Arabic letters. I used ktwelve.wikispaces.com.
You can view the lesson here.

Webquest

This is my webquest. I used zunal.com to create it as I found it easy and very well organized.
The students will do their research on one of the famous characters who was an author. They already have a news about him in their text book, but they don't know about him. So, their task is getting information about him, his life, and his works.
This is my webquest.

Screencast- Roots of Arabic words

This only a sample of a screencast that teaches the students the roots of Arabic words. I haven't tried the screencast before, but I drew that chart with more explanation on the board in class and they enjoyed it, and now they can get the root of any word, & also from the root they can form words. This can be an assignment for them to do, I give them the root then they have to form the words or vice-versa.
You can see it here :)
