Thanks to everyone who attended our first meeting last night.  We had a small but lively group!  Richard brought a very informative presentation about using flash games downloaded from the internet in the classroom.  Perhaps he will be kind enough to post some links here?  Other members also had good suggestions for getting our students engaged in our classes such as playing upbeat music at the beginning of class, using readers' theater and playing competitive games, such as jeopardy.  Did I leave something important out? Remind me, please!

Do you have other favorite activities for getting students involved?  Post your ideas and questions here! 

Any ideas for a future meeting topic?

Hi! That's a nice idea! I always need new suggestions for inventing new conversation and audio video lessons! also being a serious teacher, but making them have fun, it's not that easy!^^I'm looking forward to your event!^^in the city center I think would be easy to reach for everyone, and also good in front of a cup of chocolate maybe!^^

Marcella - I suggest that you pick a date and we have a meeting - this is a good idea and am sure many people will want to contribute. Tuesdays  are pretty good days as they are normally free from other events

Great idea. I have a whole bunch of ppts(based a round the American schooling system 4-14yrs), educational flash games(perfect for white boards), ielts tutorial and massive amounts of past exam questions, ielts preparation schemes, huge amount of recent songs and lyrics(always good for the warm ups), blah, blah blah.

Why this is such a cool group is because on those grey days, friendly advice and help is always appreciated!
