What do you use the computer for?

This year you have started a new adventure with computers, you are a member of RED XXI, that means you use the Web 2.0 in your school life. Nowadays the computer has became a book in your backpack and the internet is a new tool for studying and learning.

I want to propose you to write and tell everybody what tools do you use in the school, what do you use the computer for.

You will publish your composition in your blog as a part of your portfolio. After doing the process you will have to send the link to your teacher through an Edmodo assigment.

Remember it is very important to review your work specially the grammar. You can use the examples you have at page 17 in your English.

Telling a Story

Today we are going to record the story you have already created.

• The music you use as a background of the story.

Mushrooms and toadstool in the ecosystem

Ayer en el aula de 5ºB del Colegio San Gregorio y dentro de nuestro proyecto "I want to be a good mycologist" tuvimos un debate acerca de los beneficios y los perjuicios del Reino de los Hongos en nuestros ecosistemas. Los alumnos prepararon la información para defender una postura que les fue asignada al azar. 

Así por ejemplo hablaban de lo importante que son para ciertos alimentos como la levadura para el pan, o la fermentación del vino y la cerveza.

Por otro lado en contra los alumnos se fijaron mucho en las enfermedades que los hongos producen, como por ejemplo El pie de Atleta.

Os dejamos el programa de radio que grabamos con Spreaker para que disfrutéis con estos grandes oradores.
