First and second conditionals

Yesterday we had a look at first and second conditionals in class.

Here you are a presentation. It's different from the one shown in class, but it's easier and better.

I hope you find it useful

Thriller

Hello everyone,

 Do you like Halloween? Well, even if you don't,  this is the perfect excuse to have a look at one of the best clips ever: Michael Jackson's thriller.

Watch the video and, as you listen to the song, fill in the gaps with the correct words. (Song starts in minute 4:40)

 Happy, scary Halloween!!!

Child-driven education

Hi guys,

Last day I was reading some of the cards what were hanging outside to celebrate Book's Day and there was one that particularly grabbed my attention. It said:

" A good teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary"

Yesterday, while I was waiting for ages to do my interview, I stated the quotation aloud. Regarding this matter, I met a teacher that recommended me to watch the video below and I must say I am fascinated about it (Antonio, if you're reading this, thanks a bunch!!!)

This time education scientist Sugata Mitra tackles one of the greatest problems of education -- the best teachers and schools don't exist where they're needed most. 

In a series of real-life experiments from New Delhi to South Africa to Italy, he gave kids self-supervised access to the web and saw results that could revolutionize how we think about teaching.

I hope you like it!!!
