I am an elementary English language teacher in Barcelona. I teach English as a Second Language to very young learners and I use new technologies for different purposes in my classes.

I do project working as a way to motivate and engage my pupils into collaborative work. I and my pupils are very active using web 2.0 tools and producing outcomes with these tools. But, I don’t miss any opportunity to use “old teaching tools”, such as puppets, songs, stories or games.
