All in its name

This is just a short entry to say 'THANKS, Marta for your constructive negative feedback!'

Ms. Marta DeGennaro, a dear colleague who has her own place in cyberspace, pointed out that the name of this blog was sort of inconsistent with its aim and mission statement.

The previous name, 'The e-English Lesson', gave you the overall impression that this blog was designed to target a broader audience when in fact it's aimed at students at secondary school.

Anyway, though the new name is related to how students are expected to learn the language (by actively participating, collaborating and sharing with each other), it's still rather misleading. So I decided to leave the new name until the beginning of this school year (March 2013).

 

Maybe, I could get students involved in thinking of a more suitable name for this blog. I suppose they'll have lots of interesting ideas. Who knows?

Starting anew

Well, this is my second attempt at blogging. To tell you the truth, I had found it so hard to keep updating my first blog that I quit. As you might already know, blogging is really time consuming esp. for teachers working in Argentina. In Argentina, a teacher has to work at several schools in order to make the ends meet.

Anyway, this is officially my first post and I'd like to thank Prof. Stella Maris Saubidet Oyhamburu for her encouragement and support. Actually, I decided to revamp and relaunch this blog when I was sitting for a final exam in a course delivered by her. So, to those who think exams are always frightening assessment tools, I say: 'You're completely wrong!' Sometimes, they can be inspiring...
