I always find great things here - the site is from MSU. Most of the materials are from students in methods courses but you can find a lot of great things when searching by a given theme or topic!

As they state, "The purpose of this wiki is to provide a space in which world language educators can share insights, exchange ideas, solve problems, and collect useful materials through collaboration with a professional network of colleagues. It is particularly designed to support and sustain beginning teachers during their student teaching experience and first years of teaching. We encourage you to peruse our efforts and invite your comments and contributions!"
