Hello and welcome everyone

This blog was actually created a few days back, 19th September, 2012 or thereabouts, but so far I haven’t had the time to write anything down and tell you what this is all about.

So here I am. My name is Ed, as most of you know by now, but that doesn’t matter much because the real protagonist of this activity is YOU.

For people outside our small circle, maybe I should mention that the objective of this blog is for those students from Madrid, Spain working directly under my supervision to be able to upload stuff related to our courses: basically things we do in class, such as writings, readings or videos. We could upload, for instance, the best writing exercise of the month, or an interview made and filmed by the students themselves.

The truth is I’m not really sure what’s going to be on the blog; it is open to everything and nothing, although of course I’m hoping that in time it’ll become a fun, useful tool in our learning process (not just yours, also mine).

Anyway, we’re not uploading and showcasing our work just for the sake of being seen out there. It’s also there to benefit others, and not just the students I teach but also anyone studying at our same high-school or elsewhere, be it Spain or outside Europe.

So I guess I haven’t got much left to say. Only one thing: I’m hoping to hear from you. Any activities or improvements you may suggest will be taken on board by the blog and analyzed (by us all), so please speak up, don’t be shy and tell us what you think.

Also, I’ve forgotten to say there is, as far as I can see, only one rule for this blog: anything you may want to say has to be said in English. No other languages allowed, and no exceptions, ok?

Anyway, I’ll be seeing and talking to you. Take good care of yourselves.

PS If any of you sends an e-mail and I seem not to answer, please remind me in class. I may have forgotten to check my e-mail address.
