Virtual Conference

On Sunday 27th, we were in Virtual Round Table Web Conference sharing our e-projects with the world, it was an amazing experience because we could share our projects with international teachers and they were glad to hear us. Also some teachers said that they are going to put in practice some activities that we have posted in our blogs.

Cristina was the co-presenter of our team, she did a professional work and so great; the rest of us were twittering and attending to the conference. In addittion, we gave to people who were talking in the conference's chat links to our blogs, our activities and our trailer.
Moreover our classmate Pablo did a Storyfy with all our tweets that we have posted during the conference. Here is the link if someone wants to take a look.

Collaborative presentation

Hello again! Last week we asked you to stay tuned because new material for the project was coming... do you remember? 
Well... here you are our collaborative presentation!

We have designed it with Prezi, an amazing tool that allows you to create very attractive presentations. We have also created a Voki avatar that greets you at the beginning of the presentation!
The purpose of our Prezi is to introduce pupils to the different countries we have chosen for this project, so that they can know a bit better those countries before starting doing the activities we are designing! We will show you these activities next week, so, as we said last week... stay tuned for upcoming material!
