This weekend in EOI Elche, we had the pleasure of having our very own workshop with the award winning blogger, Cristina Cabal. Many of us there, are avid fans and followers of Blog de Cristina and so to have her there in person, showing us so many useful digital tools and games, was a real treat.
Her creativity and energy is contagious, and all of her ideas are so simple and incredibly quick to make. She combines perfectly traditional techniques with the latest digital tools, all of which can be adapted to any level or age group. Everything she showed us we tried out in the workshop and we had great fun but she also made us think as we brainstormed how the tools and techniques could be used in our own classes. I think one of my favourites has to be all the different ways you can use slips of paper to revise and activate vocabulary; simple, cheap and incredibly effective. Here is one of the many posts Cristina has published on this technique.
It was an incredibly stimulating experience and I, for one, left with my head spinning with new ideas. This workshop is a must!
