Storybird is a community where you can upload and see a lot of storys that could be read in class. The storys that appears in this community are very artistic, given that is a free expression space where a lot of artists upload their creations. We have the option to search the kind of story that we wish, because these are ordered by categories, ages, authors...

The Centre for Learning & Performance Technologies (CLPT) annually takes care of making a chart with the top 100 educational tools. Educational tools that appear in the chartare for example youtube or google docs, so they have included in the list, every TIC tool wich would be useful for educational purposes.

Hi there! this is a glogster wich includes some videos or activities that could be useful to develop with the pupils. It's based in an animal theme, so it could be introduced in a science class context, but the activities and videos included in the glogster are useful to work other competences as well.

Hello mates: I want to share with you my glogster. It is about Halloween. In my opinion, this is a good example of how to introduce FL topics in a easy way , using the ICTs too.

great! :)

I really like the recipe of Ghost and Pumpkin Marshmallow... it would be really enjoyable if we could do it in Enlgish class with our pupils!

Hi classmates: This is a collection of books for young learners. As children read these quality storybooks, not only are they boosting their reading skills, but they are also learning socially responsible tools for life. I think it will be very useful for our pupils.

Hello! I want to share with you this blog entry about the top-down processing of language. "Whole language" is a method of teaching children to read by recognizing words as whole pieces of language. Whole language is an approach to teaching reading and writing which differs in many ways from the traditional system in which most of us learned to read and write. Proponents of the whole language philosophy believe that language should not be broken down into letters and combinations of letters and "decoded." Instead, they believe that language is a complete system of making meaning, with words functioning in relation to each other in context.

Here you can read an article about Suggestopedia. It Talks about the approach, describes it and talks about the benefits that It has to our pupils. It's interesting to remind some theoretical content and see if they can be useful for our future practice.

I think this is a great learning method for students. The affective side of learning is not in opposition to the cognitive side and when both are used together, the learning process can be constructed on a firmer foundation.

Hi class: This is a about Storytelling. Storytelling is an art that has mental, social and educational benefits on children. People of all ages love stories. Children are great fans of stories and love to listen to them. Storytelling literally means reading out stories to them or just telling a story from the memory to them. I think this is an important resource for teaching EFL.

Very interesting and useful! i add to my collection of resources and readings :)
