Going to Barcelona yesterday evening was worth taking a train from Lleida and coming back home late at night. The conference by Professor David Marsh was an excellent one in terms of interest but also in terms of personal growth.

I guess posting a summary of what we could hear there is nonsense since I found a great, great blog by Enric Serra i Casals, where they posted an excellent review of the session. Enjoy.

EduWiki

We all know Wikipedia quite well, don’t we? But now,the Education Department of Catalunya has tried a new way: our own Edu Wiki.

Our school will be one of the first schools to check, try and promote Eduwiki. He hope to be able to help in the project as much as possible.

Visual dictionary online

As they say in their presentation… quick glance at the index is all it takes toconnect words with images.

Explore the 15 major themes to access more than 6,000 images and see words
like never before.

 

In my opinion, this great and hand on dictionary is of great help in our CLIL lessons. Enjoy!
