ZacharyJones.com is a website created by Spanish teacher Zachary Jones, designed specifically for the Spanish content area. The website is very easy to navigate and is open to all students and teachers, no log in necessary.
The website is very easy to navigate and is separated into three different categories; Zambombazo, Photo Vocabulary, and Trocitos Gráficos. The Zambombazo portion of the website features popular Hispanic music, film, photos, and literature. Students are able to explore Hispanic popular culture from all over the world, promoting relevancy and interest in Hispanic studies. The Photo Vocabulary section displays a “palabra del día” (word of the day) each day along with a corresponding photograph of the word. These photos are updated daily and are chosen from the top photographs from the day, exposing students to photography as well as allowing them to connect the new vocabulary to a hard image. Trocitos Gráficos displays a plethora of flyers, posters, newspapers, and articles about cultural events in the Hispanic world. ZacharyJones.com is such an awesome tool for students and teachers alike to explore the Hispanic world that we study. The site is packed with information that is updated daily, allowing for all kinds of inquiry based activities. Although the website is free to view and utilize in the classroom, their is also a store section of the website that allows teachers to purchase a variety of Ebooks pertaining to grammar and culture. I would recommend ZacharyJones.com to all Spanish teachers!
