Wednesday, 29.7.2015, Third Taining Day

Today was a sunny day. The whole city seemed like a new town  (New York!).
We had a really busy day. Morning lesson with creating exercises and afternoon with learning about Lino: it is like a memo board. We learnt also about how to make memory clouds etc.

1. We started with HOT POTATOES.
Quite useful tool for making exercises for students.
Here is the home page for that.
