Christmas song

It feels like Christmas is already here. We all are speeding up, getting ready to have a good time with the family and friends. I really need a rest now.

Today, Pilar Almendros, a colleague from Seville has sent me a CD with some of the songs I've got on my website. I've already got 3 CDs with almost all the songs. The first two CDs were collected by Dionisio (an "asesor" from Murcia). Many thanks to both of them.
In this last CD, Pilar included the Christmas son "jingle bell rock". I couldn't help preparing the activities. It's a lively song and I hope my students like it. We'll do it at the end of the week. Thanks Pilar.

I'm also very happy about the experience my students and I are having with the reading blog,
they are doing very well.

Another novelty is the WebQuest about AIDS I've prepared together with my friend Mercedes de la casa. And a reading exercise about AIDS, too.


that's all

There are some interviews and videos on this site (you have to be a member to have access to the site, but it's free).

Bernie Dodge in Barcelona

I had a good time in Barcelona with all the people from IEARN and WebQuest.Cat; I came back a week ago, but didn't have time to put some pictures on the Web till today. Have a look at them. I met Carme Barba, Sebastiá Capella, Jordi Adell, Moises, Ramón, and many others. I learnt some Catalán, too.
I also met some old friends from Valencia and Galicia and I met Bernie Dodge, the creator of the WebQuest.

I really enjoyed the weekend. Thanks a lot to everybody

profes de bachillerato en Andalucía

Esto va dirigido a aquellos que estáis dando o habéis dado recientemente bachillerato. Un compañero me ha pedido que lo ponga en contacto con profesores que quisieran participar en la investigación sobre la prueba de selectividad que está haciendo para su tesis. La colaboración consistiría en rellenar un cuestionario. Ya imagino que es un poco rollo pero la verdad es que no cuesta mucho y el chico estaría muy agradecido. Ahora mismo esta en Estados Unidos con una beca y la única forma que tiene de ponerse en contacto es a través del correo.
Si podéis colaborar y/o conocéis a más profes escribidle a miguelfer77@hotmail.com
se llama Miguel Ferrer.
thanks

Bernie Dodge

I'm flying to Barcelona this morning. Bernie Dodge, the creator of the WebQuest is coming to a conference. It's really exciting meeting someone you have follow for years. I'm meeting Carme Barba and all the others working with WebQuest for the first time, too.

I'm really looking forward to it

problemas con wanadoo

Por si a alguien les interesa, me gustaría contar brevemente el perjuicio que wanadoo está causando a la asociación GRETA de cuyas páginas me encargo con gusto desde hace años (sin cobrar, claro). Ha habido numerosos momentos en que no han estado visibles las páginas, como es el caso de ahora y por eso debo tenerlas alojadas en mi web . Tenemos abierta una incidencia desde el día 17 de junio de esta año sin resolver, he llamado infinidad de veces desde entonces. Y para colmo no nos ha sido posible cambiar el dominio infogreta.org a otro servidor cuando hartos de la situación lo hemos intentado (mantienen el dominio como secuestrado, no sé ni como). La cuestión es que o yo soy muy torpe y no entiendo nada o nos están tomando el pelo de manera vil. Pido disculpas por lo que está ocurriendo a los socios porque en cierto modo yo soy responsable de la web pero os aseguro que estoy haciendo todo lo posible y las cuentas de teléfono al 902011900 de wanadoo para tratar de solucionarlo lo atestiguan.
NO CONTRATARÉ NADA CON ELLOS NUNCA MÁS, I PROMISE

A new Blog for 4º C

I have just opened a new blog to carry out an experience with my group 4º C. It will be about reading on the Web. For tree or four weeks they are going to read texts on the Web and comment about reading strategies and other aspects of the process. Click on here to visit the blog.

new song activities

Pilar Almendros from IES Axati in Lora del Rio, Sevilla, has sent me the exercises for the song "BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE" by Jewel. This has become popular because of theVW Golf advert on Spanish TV. I have linked it on Teaching with songs.

Thanks Pilar,

let's blog

Hi all!

Blogging is becoming a new trend and I like experimenting, but only if there are any practical reasons. I've been thinking about using this new tool for a year or so, but only recently I've decided that it could be of any help. I had a forum where everyone could post a message, but in the last months there were too many "inappropriate" messages, and I was tired of deleting them, so I deleted the whole forum.
So, if you want me to ask something or do anything for you, let me know by e-mail and I will post it on this blog.

some news: I've prepared a new treasure hunt for my students in 3 ESO and some exercises on phonetics and vocabulary

cheers!

Por cierto, Francisco Muñoz puede estar contento, él es alguien que aprecia mucho el uso de Weblogs y quién más me ha insistido en que empiece a usarlos. Thanks.
