Digital Resources In Education

Hi, There! ;)

As well as other blog-teachers, I believe that technology innovation can make education creative and engaging for our students, it's actually an essential tool for most teachers and pupils.

Because of that, I'd like to show you this webpage: http://conteni2.eudcarex.es

It's full of digital resources which can be used on digital whiteboards by teachers, many students and parents on holidays, etc.

The children are going to learn more English and have fun at the same time. You can find many videos, games, songs, ... for pre-primary, primary, secondary and special educational needs students.

Enjoy summer while you're learning English!!!

One Letter - One Word - SPEAKING

Hi, there!,

As you can see in this blog, I love sharing some of my tricks to help students SPEAK English and IMPROVE their vocabulary. That's why I'm going to show you "One LeTTeR -

One WoRd". It's a funny practical game!

1. You only need to print several alphabets. http://www.uptoten.com/kids/coloringpage-mixedbag-print-abc.html

2. Then, you cut the alphabet into small pieces. (Obviously, each one would be one letter of the alphabet).

3. You can divide your students into groups (maybe four people).

4. Every student will pick up one letter and will say an English word beginning with that letter.

5. Ask your students to write down the words mentioned; by this way, you could check if they are right or wrong.

6. The student who can't say a word immediately stops playing for a while.

7. I hope you'll have fun learning English!!! ;)
