ICT - ILT - PDA - FYI - What a MESS!!!

What a mess to understand all acronyms, but they are curious about them. I remember the end of three sessions where I asked the students to understand and write short mobile phone messages. These PDA (Public Display of Affection) or FYI (for your information), TMI (too much information) seem funny, too.

But the real topic is methodology and skills – How do to it? - and using the WEB, learning to do it specifically (for example: Shakespeare + “Romeo and Juliet” + first edition ...) to reduce down the number of possibilities.

I have to revise my PPT presentations. They have been useful now to show information, to deal with cultural and historical aspects, for the students to describe photos but ...Hot Potatoes activities ("Australia" was the example) can be added – for kids better. JClic is similar, but I must check my informatic course to revise how to do it.

It is too much work, but better if you prepare the Presentation first, as I have mentioned above. Activities and assessment may be added according to our free time and our necessities and they may be varied according to our experiences using them. But SAVE YOUR WORK.
