My Treasure Hunt: London for your family

A) INTRODUCTION

You are a tourist agent in Barcelona and a family has just come to ask you for their perfect holiday in London.

The family consist of:

a father and a mother (45 years old), two sons (19 and 13), three daughters ( 21, 16 and 10).

Each of them has a specific preference. Let’s have a look at the history, life and music of this wonderful city.

B) QUESTIONS

In order to have a general view of the city, please answer the following questions:

a. What is the official language?

4. SON 13: would like to be an actor.

ME AS A TEACHER

Hi everybody!

This is me before the arrival of new technologies:

Now that I am swimming in the world of new technologies: digital book, how to use moodle, youtube videos, listening webs, learning how to blog.... and many more things I would like to learn, the vision I have of me, a teacher (and all the teachers in general), is:

We are shaping an extremely huge group of people who may be working alone but creating part of an enormous final result: GETTING STUDENTS TO LEARN SOMETHING USEFUL.

There are thousands (should I say millions?) of web pages which can give me (better to say, give us) information about the best webs, links, how to create blogs... and any topic you can think of related to the use of new technologies. I feel we are reaching a point where we are SHARING all our knowledge on how to use some of the tools the new technologies provide and this is the great thing of all.

However, since I am just a "student" of this sometimes I feel like in:

But some day in the future, I will become the captain of the ship. SURE!!!!
