The web is us

Following my previous post, I'll keep on talking about web 2.0, and how it is changing the way we work, learn, communicate, live, etc. It is amazing to see how many things we can accomplish only a click away.

I still can't cope with all the gadgets, widgets, softwares, networks, and every possible resource available on the web. Everytime I think I have everything under control, that I have all my resources at hand, there is a few more that appear, with new and improved features...no wonder I get my mailbox full of junk mail...I keep on signing up for every site that offers me something different, or better or new...but at the end, I stick to the simple (not simpler) ones: Plain text, not so much ornamentation, less widgets/gadgets/emoticons/useless stuff.

Here's a great video that shows how have things change...how have we changed over this Internet Era.

English Tips

There is nothing like buying yourself that book that you know will help you become a better person, or teacher in my case. But it is even better when you can get it for free. Well, thanks to our Russian friends, we've got the opportunity of downloading thousands of books, movies, audio files, etc.

The webpage is www.englishtips.org and it is specially focused on English teaching and learning, although there are other areas too.

These pdf books are great, as we do not only save money but trees as well. Try it and you'll see why do I spend hours and hours downloading great sources of inspiration for my lessons.
