Getxolinguae

Today I'm in Getxo, it's a bit rainny but nice. I have butterflies in my stomach for soon I will be presenting a group of teachers my ideas on education and blogging. I'll show them the blog you know and which you've been using to complement our classes and I will obviously show them your absolutely incredible creations!
I'm sure they will love them and I do hope more and more teachers get on this train.
I know it's been difficult for you and really challenging, I do know that you are not professional bloggers and I wish I had had more time to help you with the technical problems, but you know I have been pretty busy and worried about my father's health. So, thank you again!
I just think that when you love what you do, it is sort of contagiuos, and people, and students end up loving blogging, learning and knowing this new world. And I'm sure many of you will try to do a few more things. Keep on trying!, there's no better way to improve your English than practising it, and blogs open for you a door to a world of infinite possibilities!
Well, I'll stop talking now
I will see you very soon!

I have been looking at your blog and I'm really surprised at how many things you have published and how nice they look. My congratulations!, you'll soon be professional bloggers!
On the side bar, I have inserted some gadgets, you are invited to add some others too. Some of the gadgets I have put are links to our blogs, links to your favourite sites,two lists -favourite books and favourite films,which you can complete with some more- and a couple of pictures.
As I said, if you have any serious technical problems, write here a comment and I will receive it in my mail.
Good Luck to those who haven't finished yet!
