Teaching the news

without comments

If I ever have to teach TV news again, I’ll definitely use this lovely video:

It is hillarious, it is so true, but it will definitely need subtitles or a transscript for my students. Nevertheless, it is worth the work!

Inkscape classes

with 2 comments

If you (like me) have no idea of what to do with Inkscape, hop over to Inkscape Class Day 1 « Máirín Duffy for an eight session course by Máirín Duffy.
Originally held for 7th grades in the Boston area, all of us can enjoy the course via blog and PDF.

Impressive!

Moodle for 2nd language and history teaching

without comments

This book (Moodle 1.9 for Second Language Teaching) seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Strangely, there are no reviews on Amazon for it yet. The contents are impressive, as is the price tag: a hefty €35-40.
The book is promoted in the Moodle Language teaching community and probably worth the money, so I’ll get it eventually and read it.

Now, is there a similar book for history teaching?

For starters I’ll read the teachers’ manual here (German).
