Word of the Day: Take Over
Take over is a phrasal verb which,in this context means, to assume control. Look at the cartoon. Can you see how computers are taking over our family life?
Only this morning I was listening to a song called “When love takes over” by David Guetta ft Kelly Rowland. Wanna listen to it?
Happy St Valentine’s Day
I don’t want to be a party pooper but the truth is I’ve never celebrated this day. I know that for some of you this day is full of meaning so I don’t want to let it go by without wishing you a happy St Valentine’s day with a beautiful love song.

Want to decorate a wall? Use Glogster
I’ve been meaning to use Glogster for quite a while but I 
was waiting to for the right activity to make the most of it. As you already know, if you’re a regular reader, I normally teach adults so I didn’t quite know what sort of activity was best for this tool to show off.
But, what is Glogster? It is a tool that allows users to create free interactive posters (also called “glogs”). How can you build your poster?
♥Uploading video or photographs
♥Decorating your poster in different styles (retro, pop…)
♥Adding text, choosing from different backgrounds
♥Putting a link to another page, video…etc
♥Choosing your own background image for the wall of the Glog
♥You can make your wok public or private
♥You can embed it in your blog or website
It goes without saying that you’ll need to register, but it’s free. I’ve created a poster with my youngest students who still ahh and ohh about bright colours, moving graphics and funny stuff. You can see the poster below, nothing to write home about but I’m sure you can do better than me.
Once I got started, I saw the potential it had, even for my adult students.
♥Photograh description
♥Book /film reviews
♥Post stories or poems
Time to be creative and have fun!
