Louis Armstrong: Why?

I did this video last year in order to introduce the subject « Environment ». I used it with my class of year 11 and in the professional course ( module 6 ) and they enjoyed it very much . This year I will use it with the classes of year 8 for the first time.

CHANGES ( PART II )

As I said in part I things are changing. When I was a child I wasn´t used with the following expressions: pollution, climate change, acid rain, grenhouse effect, deforestation.... Unfortunately they are so common today. Things are changing for worse in what concerns the environment. Our planet is ill and we all have the obligation to help preserve it. If we want to survive we must save it.

CHANGES... ( Part I )

As Camões said about five hundred years ago, everything continues to change nowadays. And things are changing so rapidly!

When I was a student I wasn´t supposed to use a computer because I didn`t have it at home or at school. In our classes some teachers used to project transparencies perhaps once a month. It was a party for us. Today teaching has changed a lot. If I want to succeed as a teacher the use of transparencies won`t be enough. If I want to motivate my pupils I must accept the changes brought by the new technologies. I need to use the new tools. That`s why I am here, that`s why this blog was born, because everything is changing... and I must keep alive.
