Here I am

Hi! I'm Maria de Bonany Barceló Femenías, your English teacher this year in Marratxí High School. I inform you that from this moment, I'll use my first blog to prepare the activities we'll do during our English sessions at the computering room . I'd like you to enjoy the different activities we'll do during the second and third evaluation. At the end of each evaluation, I would ask you to tell me your opinions and make any suggestions to improve the lessons. In fact, you must have an active part in your learning process, as well as to try to advance in your present level of English in order to improve it by the end of the course. I'm sure you'll discover new ways to learn English and another way to use internet for learning new languages, as it is a perfect tool for it. You must know I'm taking a distance course just now to learn to create my own blog, so maybe you'll find some mistakes or you'll be able to tell me any suggestions or ideas to improve the present blog in the next future. I'm trying to learn new aspects of new technologies to be able to use them in my daily teaching practice, as it is necessary and advisable. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

That's all for now folks. Have a nice English session!
