Create 1.1.3 Appearance

5 sites that I love:

1. studyspanish.com:  Very organized and easy to use.  Concise but thorough Spanish lessons with interactive formative self-assessment.

2.  speakshop.org:  Great, attractive website for connecting with Spanish instructors via Skype.

3.  conjuguemos.com:  This site is just verb practice (they have German, French, Italian, Latin, and Portuguese too).  I like the subtle colors and the list format for organization.

4.  rockalingua.com:  This site is colorful and has very nice graphics but they are organized in a very simple way so as to not be distracting.

5.  nationalspanishexam.org:  Not super attractive but nice and organized.  Very credible source too.

5 sites I don't love:

1.  spanish4teachers.org:  This site has a wide range of content but it also has a lot of distractions with bright colors and unattractive fonts.

2.  123teachme.com:  This website may have some good content but it has too many ads.

3.  spanishflashcards.tripod.com:  So distracting with neon colors, unattractive fonts, over-crowded pages, and flashing colors that you immediately click off of the page.

4.  digitaldialects.com:  Solid red background is not very fun to look at.

5.  quia.com:  This is a great website and very popular for all subject matter for creating quizzes online. It's very over-crowded and there are no images to break up the content.  It's hard to use for searching for existing content but if you want to create your own it's not bad.
