Feel free to visit the pages and hopefully you will enjoy it as much as the eightgraders seem to do. This group was established less than a month ago, and so far we have focused on rehearsing and trying out. A most motivated, though not a very experienced group of thirteen years- old boys and girls are eager to get ready for learning how to download sound files and images as well as making digital stories. ( December 1)

So far my experience is that learning digital tools is demanding as to the time given. A group of 16, most unexperienced pupils, need much time and assistance in this work. To start with the Mp3 activity seemed to be a very motivating factor, but also demanding as the group represent a wide range of abilities both in digital and language skills. I chose to hand out a workplan with a self-instructing program. That makes the teaching less stressy as many of the pupils can work on their own, not having to wait for the rest of the class to continue. The group express that they are pleased with this way of working. The challenge is to offer enough help and guidance to everybody, ending every lesson with the same wish ; longer sessions and one more teacher in class! (January 6)

We have come to the final of this "project" as the time for reporting is soon to be. In many ways it has been an exciting, but demanding period of teaching English. As a teacher I has enjoyed this way of working, the pupils have done their best and it is evident that some progress can be observed when it comes to the tools. However I find it hard to decide whether their language competence has increased according to the aim of this course. What has been the most challenging is the fact that a school hour is very short, and that the pupils needed much more guidance and support than one teacher could master at a time. Shortly my conclution is that double lessons and at least two teachers present in class during the period when unknown tools and tasks are to be introduced. (February 20) ||>  || = =
