FEBRUARY 14TH, 2012, DAY 2

Second day of the BC Summer School. The morning started with Nicky Hockly's invitation to online IT conferences organized by IATEFL every other Sunday  on itsig.org.co! We then had a general overview of Web 2.0. Our next topic, Word Processor. After writing a "can do" list about things we can do with the software, Nicky asked us to design a postcard on Word and to convert that document into a picture. At first, I thought about using my pdf converter but Nicky suggested a great site: www.zamzar.com. After the coffee break, Nicky started her class about images. She made us try out an engaging activiy: first we had to select a picture out of five on display on the board, then the teacher made us believe that we were standing on the foreground looking at the picture and she asked us to write what we saw off the frame to the right, what we could hear and smell, what object we had picked up from the floor and what yesore we saw to the right hand side. Lunch break. In the afternoon session, Silvia showed us two online applications: pubble and titanpad (the latter is quite useful when having to brainstorm for ideas with a small group!!) Back with Nicklywe learned how to us photofunia, great tool to make Ss describe, make up stories, write mag articles and have fun!! Have  a look at the funny pictures of myself I've created!!!
