Netiquette in WORDLE

This is made with the WORDLE tool. I was studying netiquette for my e-moderation course and made this word cloud to summarize the key words.

An online task about the protection of environment

I have made quite a lot of online tasks.
You may use them in your lessons when you get access to the computers. All the tasks include online activities that engage students in class work and give some free time to the teacher.

TASK 1
The task on environmental problems (rainforests) with Prince Charles and other famous people on the video.

Back from Vilnius

After two fruitful days in Vilnius I am back to work, i.e. at my computer.
The first thing I am doing is making a scrapbook of the few photos I have from the seminar showing the lovely Latvian group, all the great ladies whom I met and befriended.
More reflections when I am in the right mood...

Seminar in Vilnius

On 22 October I am going to Vilnius to the seminar about the use of technologies in the classroom organised by the British Council.

European Day of Languages

A nice activity initiated by Lithuanian teacher Silvana ended with us having 9 postcards from 9 European countries.

As a result we could try reading messages in 9 languages, some of which were like an alien language to us, especially Greek. What a surprise! Serbian was soooooo easy, much alike Russian. It was a discovery to me!

I did this reading-of-postcards activity with my 11.c. I only hope they enjoyed it as much as I did myself.

A few days after the Day of Languages I received one more postard - from Turkey. That is why there is another picture with Turkish postcard added.

My new classes

 
First I met 7a and I liked them immediately because they are sweet and nice kids. Here is how they placed themselves on the knowledge ladder. They faced the task with responsibility...

 

Then I met 9a and 9b classes (all new students to me). Look at their self-evaluation. Hard to see because of the small picture but they must remember where they placed themselves. I guess, some were modest, some self-confident but I did not know anything about them at that time and I did not make any corrections. I will know how realistic they were in a few months...

My class on 1st September 2009

My students in the box

The Smilebox loads slowly and there are boring ads but it is still possible to see the lovely friendly funny tender faces of those who are "mine" this year.

First blogging

I am sitting at the seminar about blogging and writing my first blog ever! I am not sure that I will continue with this but you never know... So far I haven't felt the necessity. Though I like the new Web 2.0 features very very much!
