A new tool: prezi

I've just discovered a new tool that I find fascinating, I'm starting with it but I can imagine its possibilities, here is an example I've done in some minutes, it is something elemental...I have to practise more... but I'm sure you'll get wonderful presentations with it.

Dublin on Prezi

Dublin! we are coming!

We are very happy because we are going to Dublin in April. We have created a wiki to organize the trip and all of us are participating giving our ideas and opinions to design the week we are going to spend in Ireland. This is our wiki.

Your project

Remember your project consists of creating a power point presentation explaining the features, differences and similarities of the different verb tenses in English. You can use my stuff which is at your disposal on the English department web

2º Bachillerato

Our first lesson deals with a Verb tenses Review. Verb tenses are tools that English speakers use to express time in their language. You may find this topic a bit difficult so that I recommend you this page with exercises to practise. It is simple, efficient and easy to handle.

Our new website

As everybody knows we have designed a new site for our English Department and we hope it will be useful both for our students and teachers. We are looking forward to you participation: it is OUR site and the more involved we get the better it will be.

Welcome back, dear students!

Here we are one more year, I want to give a warm welcome to all students. I'm sure this will be an enjoyable and successful one and I hope this blog will help you to get involved in your learning process and find it easy and funny.
Please leave your comments and suggestions so that I can improve it. Thank you in advance!
