An interesting website!!!

  Hello everybody:

  I think this is a really interesting website to use with our puppils. I have used it in the computer room with the puppils, to work on their own or in the classroom to tell them stories!

Descriptions




We are working on descriptions in Primary 3 and I think this song can be quite useful in this season. Or maybe too early?
Let's listen to it!
Ready?

I need new ideas...but where?


The way we teach English is changing as we are .
We have changed the methodology, the resources, the realia, the tools....
But sometimes we think we haven't got enough to share with students and we feel frustated. As far as I know, the material amount is so huge we canNot organize it in a right way and we are repeating the same thing everytime.
Just in case, I can show you a great site, ONESTOPENGLISH, where we can spend some free time searching fantastic resources, nice games, motivating activities, and so on.
Do you want to have a look?
Let me know your opinion about that.
See you.

Podcasting

Getting webwise





Here is a lovely BBC site to learn about ICT : BBC webwise
We can get courses (e.g. basic computer, basic internet...), suggestions, links... Among others, the entry about search engines for kids is well-worth taking into account, since the sites reccomended are all child-friendly.

PowerPoint to YouTube using Windows Movie Maker

I think you'll like this tutorial. It shows us an easy free way to take power point presentation to you tube

How to upload PowerPoint to You Tube

I've seen that some of you have uploaded power point presentation to your blogs but you've lost the sound and you feel miserable about it!. The only thing -as far as I know!- we may do to avoind this problem is uploading power points to you tube. Here is a tutorial to use a converter called wondershare. However, I don't think it's free!
