Grammar Girl

Podcasting, another possibly revolutionary tool for the world of education thanks to web 2.0. I found this site by going doing a search here under education. I uncovered a little gem in the podcasting world. Grammar Girl is a girl after my own heart. She answers questions and gives talks on all things grammatical, or in her own words: Grammar Girl provides short, friendly tips to improve your writing. Covering the grammar rules and word choice guidelines that can confound even the best writers, Grammar Girl makes complex grammar questions simple with memory tricks to help you recall and apply those troublesome grammar rules. Whether English is your first language or second language, Grammar Girl’s punctuation, style, and business tips will make you a better and more successful writer. Mignon Fogarty is the creator and host of Grammar Girl. Grammar Girl is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast.. From CAPITALIZATION to sentence structure and dangling modifiers, Grammar Girl is a great resource to have for teaching writing. You can easily point student's in her direction and have them search for a podcast on any given topic. Podcasting will also be helpful when we the educators post our own podcasts so that we are not giving the same lessons over and over. Simply play the podcast and Wallah! all things are new again, saving you time, energy, and allowing you to be broadcast to any ALC site where your topic is needed.
