Learning for teaching

Have you realized how good web researchers we have become?

After a nice week off, I'm back home again, I really miss everyone in my family, but there' someone I missed more, you know who? My little dog  -Blue-, finally we are together again. 
This past week has been completely different, I've been traveling and working on this challenging course.
Firstly reading an interesting project written by Andreea I. Constantinescu about Using Technology to Assist in Vocabulary Acquisition and Reading Comprehension, It is important to recognize the importance and usefulness of vocabulary in a second language learning process. 
Updating delicious is another daily adventure; I have visited some of your delicious sites and copied some.
Finally I saw nice and interesting technology enhanced lesson plans, mine is focused on comparisons with as…as. I found a super interesting website where you can find real information about gadgets with real prices and characteristics, very useful to practice comparisons.  Here the address.

You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.  ~Clay P. Bedford


See you soon.
