ABCD model beaten! Project hazily defined:)

What a week! First, being stressed by the seriousness of the ABCD model - after the first reading of the suggested material I thought I would never make it. I dared tackle it only on Friday, when Donna had elaborated a lot on my colleagues' attempts and finally (thanks  to Eldin, Helo, Katty, Mariangel, and the others, of course) managed to come up with something that is sensible and practical. We are often asled to define the long-term goals, rather than the daily ones, whose results accumulate little by little in the little heads of our learners:)

And again this week - what an abundance of  useful sites, found via new search engines. A lifetime is not enough to explore the videos, magazines, the sites for teachers. Bing is my new fav, and Helo's http://www.blinkx.com/ http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/ for books and videos are great finds.

And finally the project! An idea formed in my mind while walking far from the city, with the soft hills ahead and the blue sky above. It incorporates My map-ping, blogging, search engines, mysteries and only needs students' will and enthusiasm to implement it.

Next week we'll see :)

Spring is bolder, just like us
