Smartboards
This is a presentation I am going to give about smatboards:
What are the main differences between smartboards and projectors?
- Smartboards allow us to work and teach in a very fast way: we can write, give feedback on the student's writing in the classroom, listen to audios, and write the answers directly on the board, while projecting the book...
- We can also interact with the elements that are being projected
- The students can move in the classroom, and interact with the smartboard, being more active learners.
One of the main advantages I have found using a smartboard is the interaction with the book or with online material.
Teachers can write to give explanations or to correct an activity, and students can also write.
Here is an example of how students interact with the book in a Spanish classroom (I have a video)
Students not only write, but they can do multimodal interactive activities in the smartboard, not only in their computers. They can do listening comprehension activities, grammar activties, reading comprehension activities, etc.
COLLABORATIVE WRITING
After the students have worked collaboratively in groups, we can project the final writing on the smartboard, and everybody has to find the errors, and write an alternative.
In the classroom it is "easy" to correct the speaking mistakes, but do we pay attention to writing?
MATCHING WORDS AND IMAGES
Students and teachers can drag the words and images to practice the vocabulary.
Students and teachers can also drag the definitions and words to practice the vocabulary.

Thinking about the language learning process
We can help students if we use different types of didactic units and exercises, to cover all the different ways of learning, student's needs and preferences.
Some stereotypes over learning can be questioned in the class. Thus, we can help students to be conscious about his/her learning process. Students must know that every student is different and has his preferences and different learning styles.

Tender and sweet
I’d like to write a review of the Danish film “Teddy Bear”, a drama film with very good rhythm, with which I spent a very good moment. The story engages you from the beginning to the end.
Firstly, I will introduce the plot and the characters who conduct the story. The main character is 38 years old and lives with his mother in a house, in a little city from Denmark. He is a bodybuilder, and he is a man of no words. We can see how he lives, almost alone, and he is just in contact with the people of the gym. Tired of being single, he decides to go to Thailand because he thinks it must be easier than in Denmark to find a girl there. I will not continue saying anything else of the plot, in case you would like to watch it, but I would like to mention just two more images of the film: the size of the main character looks huge, in contrast to the people who live in Thailand, and on the other hand, the way the mother of the main character looks. She is no doubt the other main character of the film. She is very thin and looks as if something wrong was about to happen.
Secondly, and as I suggested before, I would like to mention that this film has a very particular photography. Everything is very curious. The look of the characters is bizarre. I cannot say why, but I can give an example: the mother, who is very thin and tiny, sometimes wears very big and long white dresses, that don’t suit her. I am sure it catches our attention as voyeurs.
Therefore, I would like to recommend this film, “Teddy bear”. The characters and the story are really curious, and the rhythm of the film is fantastic. I’m sure it’s worthy to watch it, and you will not regret it. It’s very sweet the main character, a big man with big muscles and a tender heart.

To what extend does the choice of the materials we surround ourselves reflect our personality?
To what extend does the choice of the materials we surround ourselves reflect our personality and attitude to life?
We try to choose carefully the materials that surround ourselves to present a particular image to other people, to introduce ourselves through things.
Firstly, we introduce ourselves through the way we look; through the clothes we wear, make-up, shoes, hairstyle, the bag or the watch we wear. We can be on fashion or not, and we are giving a first image that people may like or not.
Secondly, the house we live in, the neighbourhood, the city we choose to live in, or the car presents ourselves to others. The same with the friends we have or the places we go on holidays.
By other hand, some of us we are not really conscious of the image we give to other people. I say that because sometimes I had the feeling that some people, the way they look, they attract people they don’t like. Let’s say, for example, a man who wears a scruffy look and expects to attract the most beautiful girl of the party, very well dressed, and with a very careful look. From the outside I would say that this man should take care more the way he looks, the image he gives in order to get what he wants.
Therefore, we give an image to others, by the way we look and the things we have and wear. We can be more or less conscious about this, but we attract people, we attract situations and we can give the wrong impression to others.

Om morgen
OM MORGEN
Om morgen står jeg tidligt op, klokken seks til hverdag, men i weekenden står jeg først op klokken ti, elleve eller tolv.
Hverdag bliver jeg vækket af mit vækkeur. Jeg gå på toilettet, vasker mig, ser mig i spejlet of efter klæder mig på. Jeg laver morgenmad og skal også lave madpakker. Jeg drikker kaffe of spiser havregryn. Senere ryger en cigaret og børster tænder.
Klokken otte skal jeg tysk klasse eller jeg skal i arbejde. Jeg har ikke maget tid om morgen men i weekenden, når jeg har tid, ser jeg morgenfjernsyn eller læser jeg avis. Jeg elsker også gøre morgengymnastik eller læse i sengen.

La solidarité
Quand les gouvernements ont carences, les gens sortent à la rue et agissent à la place d'eux. Il y a une crise mondiale et permanente très importante dans le monde entière. Beaucoup de gens n'en ont rien pendant que d'autres gens en ont trop. On parle de l'éternel problème de riches et pauvres.
En ce moment, à cause de la crise mondiale les gouvernaments se trouvent avec plusieurs problèmes, entre autres il y'a plus de pauvres, plus qu'avant. Il y a de gens sens un lieu ou habiter, gens qu'habite à la rue, l'émigration à cause de la crise, etc. C'est pour cette raison que les gens s'organisent pour aider à les autres qu'ont en besoin. Au moins, il y a de gens solidaires.
Il y a beaucoup de projets solidaires. C'est possible aider à les gens avec d'argent, à travers d'organisations solidaires. Autres gens préfèrent sortir la rue et aider directament à les autres, par exemple, on peut amener nourriture ou quelque chose chaud pour boire à les mendiants. Il y a d'autres qui vont à autre pays pour aider, par exemple, en Afrique ou en Inde. J'ai un amie qu'ira à Mozambique cette été, pendant ses vacances.
