School radio

A good alternative to having a school radio is a repository of audio files that can be accessed, downloaded and uploaded by all students. SPREAKER is a fantastic option if you want to do that. Check it at http://www.spreaker.com/.

Creative Commons books

Hi, everybody.

I continue trying to get rid of textbooks. For that reason I'm creating my own materials. The idea is to give students a digital book, crated with EXE LEARNING. All the texts and videos in the digital textbook will be under a Creative Commons license, so that teachers will be able to change and adapt the materials. The texts are from Wikipedia and sounds and pictures from Wikimedia Commons. I'm taking the listenings from www.elllo.org. Along the digital book, students will have access to exercises in Moodle, which will act as a workbook. Please, I'd like to receive ideas and feedback. As soon as I've got Unit 1 ready, I'll post  it in my blog.
