Finally, I have created a simple web page using webnode. I have included different resources for primary teachers and for ESL students.
You can click also in the picture to go to my personal webpage.
There is also a little survey in order to know peoples opinions and preferences.

Exam
Doing exams can be a very stressful activity for children, and it can also be a waste of paper, so what if we change the traditional exam's method? How about doing exams in a more active way? What about doing it using different new technologies?
There are different websites which offer us differen evaluation options.
We have created an exam with different types of questions for a little reading. You can see it here

Wiki
A wiki is
a Web site that allows users to add and update content on the site using their
own Web browser. This is made possible by Wiki software that runs on the Web
server. Wikis end up being created mainly by a collaborative effort of the site
visitors. A great example of a large wiki is the Wikipedia, a free
encyclopedia in many languages that anyone can edit. The term "wiki"
comes from the Hawaiian phrase, "wiki wiki," which means "super
fast."
I have created a Wiki with three different pages in which I explain 3 different activities which can be done using a wiki. You can click here or in the picture to see this activities.
I have also writen two paragraphs of a story in a wiki created for our classroom, in which we have done a colaborative task.
If you want to read the final story you can click here! :)
Excel spreadsheet
Lots of teachers feel under preasure when evaluating and grading their students. There are so many percentages to take into account, and they can waste a lot of time calculating their marks.
Excel is a really useful task to avoid this waste of time.
I have created an excel spreadsheet considering different criteria to evaluate students. You can have a look at it in this link or in the picture.
It considers different aspects which can be assessed in an English or in a CLIL classroom.

Hot Potatoes exercices
I have created four different exercises using the programme called "Hot Potatoes", one with each type of task that the programme enable us to use.
You can click in each of the pictures or in the text to see and do the exercises.
