If you have time

If you have time, read the stories that your classmates created.
All of them are sooooooo original!!

Opinion

I want you to create a new post answering the following questions:
1. What is your opinion about using blogs to teach "writing" in EFL classrooms?
2. Do you like working using blogs?
3. What are some of the advantages of using blogs ?
4. What are some of the disadvantages?
5. Do you plan to use blogs in the future?
Do you have any suggestions to improve these "lab sessions"? or was everything all right?

Last session working with Blogs

Ok, sooooo here we are ..
Are you sure your blog is complete?
Today I want to start grading it!

Take care

Think about this

I found this on Internet ( http://members.tripod.com/inspiring-thoughts/) and I wanted to share it with you!

One day at a time,
for this is enough.
Do not live in the past,
for it is gone...
And do not be troubled
by the future,
for it is not here yet.
Live in the present
and make it beautiful,
that it will be worth
remembering.

Send me your comments about this post :-)

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus

Look full in His wonderful face

And the things of earth will grow strangely dim

In the light of His glory and grace

When everything seems to go wrong, just push.
When the job gets you down, just push.
When people don't react the way you think they should, push!
When your money looks funny and the bills are due, just push.
When you want to tell them off for whatever the reason, just push.
When you ask the question, when is my ship coming in? Just push.
When people just don't understand you, just push.
Let me tell you what Push stands for ....
