Well, suffice it to say that either embedding doesn't work, or, I don't know how to do it. Here's a link.

The binders I made are pretty straight forward in their titles. One is called French Grammar (which is the one I shared in this post), another is French History, and the last one is The Influence of France. The one I like the most is the grammar one. I never sat down and looked up games for learning french until now, and, to be honest, I don't know why I haven't. I found one site that is really neat that has nineteen  games for learning everything from vocabulary about vegetables to verb conjugations. I could have really used that site over the last year in my French class. We were using this site called "tell me more" that really couldn't have told me less. The speech recognition software was terrible most of the lessons had almost nothing to do with everyday life. I had a few things that were ok, but, there wasn't much in the way of supplementary material for the class.

Last semester in my Education 2100 class, we had to use RefWorks to put all of our references for our PBL assignment. Also, we had to write a paper which had to include and annotated bibliography with printed out sources. I thought that was a waste of time, paper, ink, money, and effort.

Now, RefWorks was free for us as university students, but, what about high school students? I'm not sure. But, I know that LiveBinders is free for anyone that wants to use it. And, it can serve a double purpose in that it is a great place to store all of your research sources AND it can act as your annotated reference portion of an assignment. Because of how it's set up, all you have to do is create a new binder for a set of sources and create a description for the binder that includes descriptions for each tab in the binder. I think I may have to mention this to Dr. Preston-Sabin next time I see her.
