I will not be in the school this afternoon nor tomorrow as I am attending the APAC conference. It is a great opportunity for teachers of English to learn about new books, teaching techniques and other people’s experiences. As last year, I hope I come back from it with a lot of new ideas for the classroom.

See you on Monday!

You can imitate Chinese, Japanese calligraphy or use fonts that look like Russian, Vietnamese, etc for your language project.

The web to visit and download the fonts is www.dafont.com and the special fonts are in the theme section, under the foreign heading. More information here.

The highlights of Gasol’s first game with the Lakers. No comments, just… awesome (as the Americans say).

Hello everybody, March’s game is a classic: ‘Bookworm Adventures‘. It’s just the online version and it’s a bit different from the one we have sometimes played in the classroom, but… it’s free.

If you have problems with the flash plugin, follow the steps on top of the screen (1. Get the PopCap plugin, and 2. Install it).

Good luck and give me your high-scores!!!
