Hello everybody, We are on winter holidays in Argentina and I have more time for thinking about my activities on the net and feeding my curious soul by surfing the web. One of the conclusions I arrived is that I have stopped blogging long posts because I don´t have much time for writing  :-((  I microblog in Twitter and Facebook everyday! Today, I came across this material edited by my Brazilian colleague , Ana María Menezes. Ana has gathered a series of videos related to ICT in education. Thank you, Ana for sharing this material :-)  PS: The following collection of videos is a bit heavy, so it may take some minutes to download.   Build your own custom video playlist at embedr.com

Some time ago - about a month, I think- I came across Poster-Street.com which  provides web users with motivational, funny and thought provoking material. The visitor will find high-quality posters that were well-designed and easily accessible. Once at the website, you will be able to   download and print the poster you like! It is not necessary to get re gistered :-) Poster- Street people say: " We’d love to hear from you. Your feedback and comments inspire and encourage us. Your experience and ideas help us make this site better ." and it is true!!! Let me tell you: When I visited the website for the first time, I was fascinated. I really loved the posters, but could not find the possibility of embeding the posters in my blogs - I manage educational blogs for two schools. Consequently, I wrote to Poster-Street asking them to give us, bloggers, the possibility of embeding their work. And today they sent me a newsletter and found out that they have included an embedding

Today is my free morning and I am enjoying surfing the net, facebooking, twittering and of course, blogging! Unfortunatelly I cannot blog as often as I would like to due to my duties as ICT coordinator and teacher trainer. I have been pretty busy but really happy. Exploring Second life is one of my postponed activities. By the way, I have found some information about the British Council in Second Life at http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/second-life What can you  do in the British Council Area in Second Life?
