SPECIALLY FOR TEACHERS: Afraid of interactive whiteboards?

Interactive Whiteboards are phenomenal tools. Don't know what an interactive whiteboard is? Perhaps you've heard of some of their brand names - SMART Board, ActivBoard, eBeam, Mimio, and Webster are some of the most widely used at this time.

"Interactive whiteboards are used in many schools as replacements for traditional whiteboards or flipcharts. They provide ways to show students any thing which can be presented on a computer's desktop (educational software, web sites, and others). In addition, interactive whiteboards allow teachers to record their instruction and post the material for review by students at a later time. This can be a very effective instructional strategy for students who benefit from repetition, who need to see the material presented again, for students who are absent from school, for struggling learners, and for review for examinations. Brief instructional blocks can be recorded for review by students—they will see the exact presentation that occurred in the classroom with the teacher's audio input. This can help transform learning and instruction." (Wikipedia 8/07)

Have a look at this video and don't be afraid of using them!!!!

These are also some useful sites where you can find interactive material for your whiteboard:

http://www.topmarks.co.uk/interactive.aspx
http://www.interactivewhiteboards.com/www/s_index.html
http://www.iwb.org.uk/
specially for esl

I will blog everything I find about whiterboards while learning. I hope you enjoy the materials and use them.

SOME MUSICFOR EVERYBODY

I'm sure you all know Avril Lavigne. Listen to this song called: "Things I'll never say". I hope it sounds familiar to you, pay attention, there are lots of present continuous sentences. You will soon use it with Toyi and me in your "desdoble" lesson.

Present tenses contrast

We have already seen in class the difference between present simple and continuous, but just in case you still have any doubt, there is a chart which clearly shows the difference between both.

Have a look at it and remember to ask all the questions you need in class.
