Interesting Blogs

Today, I'm going to talk about some blogs I've been looking  at:
.
Let's start with Larry Ferlazzo's blog. This is a very good blog for teachers. It has an easy-to-follow  presentation. Everything is so organised that you can read old pots easily and go to other links he considers useful (and they really are!!!) only by clicking the underlined words. For example, you should have a look to Moments in daily life around the world , since it can be used to talk about different cultures in English.
Moreover you can also read articles A very fascinating one (at least for me) is "When a good class goes bad (and back to good again)".
He also provides what he consider the best sites to practice English or sites for students to debate... A very useful blog, just have a look at it!

Another blog that can be useful is Eugenio's blog. Here you'll find lots of activities that you can use  in your English lesson. However, I think that these activities are for primary students and not for secondary students. So if you are a primary teacher this is your site!
In spite of being resources for primery school, we all should have a look to the links he offers. For instance, the one called warmer and films activities, in which you can find some fine ideas for your lessons.
In my opoinion, Although is a good place to find materials, he should add some commets talking about the activities or maybe explaining what the links are about....

Now, let's talk about Blog de TIC en Lenguas Extranjeras. This site presents resources for learning and practicing different languages ( English, French...). Here we can find webs in which students play and learn. Most of them are for primary, nonetheless, in the left of the blog, we can find labels to make easier our search. We can find communicative resources such as "skype educational".
Its presentation is clear, its content is so complete and the resources offered are so useful. But, you need to talk Spanish if you want to understand the explanatios they give.

Finally, let's have a look at The FCE blog, the most useful one for me. Claudia Ceraso proposes really good activities to make the students collaborate. For example the weebok. A very interesting site in which the studets can create stories toghether.
She explains every resource she adds in a clear way and give you advices for you to know how to use it properly. You can also find old posts easily.
Most of the activities are for pre- intermediate and intermediate learners, so you have to be sure about the level your students have.

That's all for now.  I hope you find them helpful too!

Educational use of blogs

This is my first time using a blog, and I'm learning how to do it. I'm a little bit worried since I'm not so good at ITC. So let's see how I deal with it. I hope it will be useful for learning English in a new way!
