Welcome to the Teacher's Blog


Dear Students,

I am starting a new, well quite new experience with you. As you know it is very important that you loosen yourselves up with writing, reading and specially speaking this school year. You have to believe in that! So, it also means you have to work hard to get easy with communication. No secrets, a simple piece of advice: write, read and find many chances to speak the language you are learning. Only if you do so, you will improve your skills. A few things to consider and talk about in class before we meet:

1. We are going to work with anonymous blogs. Do you know what a blog is? Find out here: https://www.blogger.com/start and if you succeed in opening one the better but do not give the blog your real name, give it a nickname. It will be more fun but if you want to be yourselves, go ahead with your own name.

2. We are going to have a class page to share links basically but we shall use it to send mails or communicate with people from the class. The page is in www.nicenet.org and this is your key to access the class: 82Z5Z5746. In this page you should not be anonymous. So use a username that has to do with your name and use a password for you to access the page. This password you will only know. Write it down when you register. Some students forget their password and you are going to need it every time you access the page.

That’s all for now!
I’ll see you very soon.
All the best,

The teacher
