Comments and links to any interesting materials, videos, soundbites, podcasts etc' are very welcome too.
To begin with, I invite you to take a look at the following image and to familiarise yourselves with the concept of 'Thinking in English'.
_______________________________________________________
This is an exercise in 'Thinking In English'.
Try to keep your thoughts in English; do not revert to Spanish if at all possible.
Look at this cartoon and consider its message from at least 2 different angles:
1) The link with I.T and the Generation 'Y''s use of it
2) The social information inferred by the way in which language is being used; the words chosen to convey the message.
Be prepared to discuss these issues, in English, with your colleagues.
Prepare what you want to say by thinking it through in English.Research any vocabulary you might need to express yourself accurately and convey your message clearly.
Decide what your opinion is on the two issues mentioned above and be prepared to defend your point of view if you meet with opposition from your colleagues.
Enjoy this first experience of homework set through a homemade VLE (Virtual Learning Environment)

I liked the cartoon very much, it's funny, parents and teachers should know IT and use them. Thanks.

Yes, I agree, and also not prohibit their children from doing things that they themselves don't even understand !
