My best project Strongly motivated by the British Council’s on

line course and the use of ICT in the school where I work, I have created which I consider the

best of my projects so far and it is my own “edu-blog”.

The site has recieved about six hundred visits in three months and I feel really proud of it. It contains interactive videos and

games, power point and video presentations, lots of activities, tests, exams and songs to share with my

students and other teachers of English.

To conclude I would like to thank

• The British Council for having given us the chance to improve our teaching practice through their methodology programme.

• My on line course tutor Paula Bello who pushed me to show my projects and was in charge of

the photo and video sessions.• My colleague, the Art teacher Claudia Godoy, who got involved with the project “A pet for our

School” from the very beginning.• My ICT instructors Gaby Soria and Mercedes

Espinosa who taught me how to create power point presentations and “edu-blogs”.

A teacher affects eternity; he doesn’t

know where his influence stops.
