Microsoft OneNote Training Session

How much did you get benefit from this workshop or training session is always the first question that crosses our mind by the end of it. Today i can guarantee that Microsoft OneNote Training Session was one of the sessions that we got benefit from it like 100%. This is not my opinion only but also my collegues one. Why? because this app will help us to organize our lessons' materials, videos and articles in a convenient way.Plus, we can share these materials by using it with our colleagues, parents and students.The super advantage of this app is that our students will have no need to carry notebooks because this is where their notes gonna be saved. We would like to thank Makassed ERC Director " Mr. Bassem Kandil" for holding the second internal professional development training on Microsoft OneNote.

The U.S Embassy English Webinar Course: A New Approach to Grammar Teaching

Wednesday, September 11th, 2013. Time: 3:00 p.m 
Place: A.B.A.T.  Primary School Computer Lab.
Mmm… It’s not a date for a lunch gathering, but it is somewhat related to food. During one and a half hours, we learned the secret ingredients of the grammar sauce and how to add some spice and flavor to the present perfect. An interesting approach and fun games made of this conflictual concept for ESL students a simpler and more practical learning material.
Led by two experts in the field, Curtis Chan and Kevin Mc Coughey the webinar gave the possibility to participants from all around the world to interact, exchange tips, and learn from the presenters’ and from each other’s experiences.
We, English teachers, tend to write a lot since language is our passion, but if it came to summarizing the webinar in one word, we’d use “exquisite”, especially to those of you, language teachers, who like it saucy and spicy.

Wait for our next recipe on the 25th of September… J
