Monday 18th March

This week we will have a look to The teacher´s magazine

We will do some activities from this magazine. Apart from that we will go on with Voicethread and show the the "HEAR and SAY" activity and how to use it in a lesson.

Trying trying with voicethread

Voicethread again

Three years ago Ann F. presented voicethread! Here is the post she wrote about it. Perhaps we may review this application. Here are some voicethread examples:

 We may remember how to create our presentations using this Voice thread tutorial

Handa´s Surprise

This is a short story about Handa. She is a girl who wants to take some fruits to her friend Akeyo but watch what happens. You can revise numbers from 1 to 7, fruits and animals in Africa. we will do an activity related to this story. I hope you enjoy it!

Have also a look to these two new sites: TES, Teaching resources and Berritzegune Nagusia English Zone where you can find some resources. 

Stories for children

Here are some websites where we may get stories for kids (text and audio)

English for children

Agendaweb

Learn English kids. British Council

In addition to that, we'll record our own story with podomatic straight away!

Our podcasts in podomatic

Here is My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes in podomatic. Would you like to record your favourite story with audacity and then upload it onto podomatic, for instance? We'll try that next seminar! Other than that, since Marivi asked me about where she could store/share documents with other teachers, I've thought that we might explore dropbox, a file hosting service which is very useful for that purpose.

Happy New Year!

Next Monday we'll have our first seminar this year! You'll see the new toilets (and the old computers!)

Here is an English-Guide with resources for vocabulary, listening, grammar... activities.

We could deal with timelines with timetoast, Here is a sample I've created about a Russian poet I've just discovered. The application is very very easy! We'll also discuss the contents of our next seminars.
