Aesop's moral stories - let's talk about fables using digital tools

Aesop was an ancient Greek fabulist. He is presumed to have been born in 620 B.C. Unfortunately not much is certain about his life but some agree that June, 4th was his birthday. It's an opportunity for us to talk about fables. Aesop's fables's characters are animals, often with a humorous twist, and his tales always have a moral and a lesson to teach.


If you want to read, watch or listen to Aesop's fables click on the following links:

Teacher appreciation!

Teacher appreciation week: May, 5-9

Teacher appreciation day: May, 6

To celebrate this Teacher Appreciation week I chose a digital tool. 
Padlet is a digital notice-board. Double-clicking anywhere on the board you can leave a message, a link, a picture, a poem... (If you drag-and-drop your text-box you can move it wherever you want).
I'm going to ask my students to write something (positive or negative) for/about me. They can use their real name or remain anonymous.
This will be very useful to
  • get a quick feedback
  • become aware (or have further confirmation) of my strenghts
  • become aware of any problems
  • make the students feel important by telling them I really need and consider their opinion


I've just created my students' board, click on the image below...




If you clik on this other image, instead, you will open a blank Teachers' Board I've just created for all the teachers who want to tell their opinion about teaching! Leave your comments (you don't need to log in)!!
