You Still Have Time To Make This for Dinner: Breakfast! As it turns out everyone in my family likes breakfast, and it is always a special treat to have breakfast for dinner. The real trick is to also make it a balanced nutritious meal. So last night we had spinach mushroom and cheese omelets. My kids my be a little odd in their affection for spinach and I may have their grandparents and the creators of Popeye the Sailor Man, but butter doesn't hurt. I like to saute my mushrooms. These are baby portbella's here, but sometimes i go for whatever is already sliced in the market. While that's going I thaw a package of spinach in the microwave, and drain. Not what you have a taste for tonight? *Likes: (2)* *Likes: (3)* *Likes: (1)*

Slavenka Drakulic History - Ancient History in depth: Overview: Iron Age, 800 BC - AD 43 Educational Technology in ELT: Digital Storytelling I have just come back from IATEFL Glasgow 2012, where I presented on Digital Storytelling for the Technology and Teens Symposium organised by Graham Stanley. Digital Storytelling is any combination of images, text, audio and music to create a digital story, either fictional or non-fictional. The presentation focused on ways of implementing digital storytelling with teens. I described what I believe are its benefits and then showed three examples of projects I did with my students from Instituto San Francisco de Asis in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Some digital storytelling tools you can use: Powerpoint and Windows Movie Maker allow you to combine images, text, music and audio to create digital stories. Animoto allows you to upload images and combines them automatically with a selection of background music available on the website. Xtranormal allows you to create text to speech animations. Voicethread is a slide show creator, in which you can type or record comments around each slide.
