Greetings!!
Hello! My name is Mª Luz, and I teach English at Hélade school, in Boadilla.
My purpose with this blog is to learn a bit more about New Technologies and share with my high school students resources to improve English learning.
We'll have different sections to share opinions about books, news, links to songs in English and of course, grammar exercises and games.
I hope they will participate and exchange ideas with me!
