Tomorrow

Hi everybody, we are seeing tomorrow to complete the listening and reading comprehension papers of our revision test.
See you at classroom 201, Building III.
Be on time, please.

On Friday 2nd, we will be working at the CEO on our new wiki project, so remember to post your comment on technological literacy on the discussion box of our wiki.
That's all for now.

Bye, Jimena

New Project

Hi, this time I want to introduce you to a new project: "Introduction to technology". It is connected to technology, its definition, history and related subjects.

The platform we'll be using is a wiki.
A wiki is a collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content, using a simplified markup language. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. For example, the collaborative encyclopedia Wikipedia is one of the best known wikis.To learn more about wikis click here.


Since it is on-line, you will be able to access this site from home or just anywhere via Internet.

This is the Internet site for the project:

http://www.introductiontotechnology.wikispaces.com/

Hope you enjoy it and can profit out of it.
Suggestions and comments are welcome, as usual.

Let's start!

Today's class

Hi, congratulations for your exam results, you did really well!

Today we are going to finish activities 2 and 3 on reported speech and technology-related vocabulary (posted on this blog on 3/29).

Please, complete them in word and send them to my gmail account, do not forget to include them in the template with your details.

Some listening practice:
These English listening activities are a series of audio activities that present situational English language between two characters. The language focuses on English language needed for daily communication. Try these five situations and check your score on-line.
Start now!

See you on Thursday, Jimena

Any class this week:
Hand in the last two activities on the blog, individual, printed, with name and task (once corrected they will join the portfolio):

I think that's all so far.
Good work today, though you were a bit noisy. Friday syndrome perhaps?
