The activity I enjoyed most is  Scavenger Hunt organised by Birgy and her partner teacher in School. The students had to find pieces of paper with QR codes, to read them with the help of their i-pads and to follow the instructions written there. The sheets of paper were everywhere and students had to walk around  until they collect all the pieces! It was fun! I am going to organise this activity for my students, too!

Toledo School of Arts

Today we have visited TSA. The school started from one room, today it is a big 4-storeyed building. In the corridors  we saw a lot of students`s paintings, mozaics  and other things made by students. Students can learn music, dancing, drawing and painting, drama in the school. This school accepts all students who apply. Some of the students live very far from the school (about 50 miles!)
 After the trip around school we have an opportunity to see a performance. I liked the orchestra, dancing and a short play about Shakespear. Students wrote all the scripts, scenario and dancing themselves.The students are so talented and creative!

Tools to deal with audio are easy to use. Prezi is a very interesting site. You can put video, images and presentations and texts there.

I have found two pesentations in Prezi about present continuous. I can use them in class.
I have explored Mighty bells.  I can collaborate, make projects with the help of it.

http://www.asymptopia.org/download/-    seems not to work
FlashQard cannot be open and run (((
An App to learn typing that is called tuxType doesn`t work.
The useful things for my students are Audiocity and OpenOffice so far
Audiocity- it takes little time to download and install. I can record sounds with the help of this app.
openOffice - i can make peresentations using it but Power Point is better. Downloading and installing it take few minutes
Technology lesson again. It`s nice when I`ve got all instructions printed.
