Grüße aus Berlin


Just wanted to say 'hi!' after quite a long time without any posts. I've just come back from a trip to Berlin with some students; we've had a great time there. I hope you are all doing well. Let us know something from you from time to time. xxx

Hello Agustina

Nice to hear news again. I thought the blog had died since I stopped to post to it. I don't have much free time now and I maybe I got a bit tired of posting almost alone there. Just you and a few other exceptions posted.
Did you visit Berlin with your students? My students would like to visit Germany too but it wouldn't be possible to do it at this time of the year because lessons are running.
I've been very busy with my classes. I have started blogging with the classes. Every student has his/her own blog and there is a classblog, too at http://klassenblog.bloxio.us I decided to use Wordpress MU, developed by someone instead of blogger but some of my students are still not very enthusiastic about it because it still has some bugs. But I hope they will use it more and more in the future becaus it can be of great benifit in their language learning.

Hi Joao,
I can understand that you got a bit tired of being sometimes the only person posting in the blog. Still, even if you don't do it so often, it would be good to keep writing something once and again so that the blog doesn't actually die and we keep knowing from each other.
My trip to Berlin was part of an exchange with a school there. The German students came to Cehegín (Murcia) in May and we have spent a week in Berlin now, each student living with their German counterpart. We've been doing it for two years now and it's a great experience. The tough part is going back to lessons on Monday and making up for the missed week, but that's life.
You seem to be preparing your students a lot on the use of ICT (with those class blogs and all that). It sounds great, really.
Good to hear from you again. Best wishes.
