Hey 5B students!

If you want, you can also add the voice thread to your own blog. Then, every change made on it and every comment published will be updated to the voicethread in your blog automatically. All you have to do is copy the html code and paste it in the html section of your blog. The last slide in the show gives you the option "embed". If you click it, you will be given four possibilities. Choose the third one (small version), just as in the pics bellow:

Hey everybody!

We are talking about gadgets in this unit, and did you know that there are gadgets for blogs? There are many websites that offer cool things to be added to a blog, which are called widgets (or gadgets too). Here I'll give you three examples, explain briefly about them and give more details in class.

Well, first of all, widgets can be added to your blog through a code, called html code. All you have to do is copy the html code from the website and, when writing your new entry here in your blog, paste the code. There is one detail, though, the code has to be pasted in the right place! When writing a new entry, on the tools bar,the last tool is the html (it's written "html"). When you click there, a new window will open with all your post in html code. Find the place where you want the widget to be, paste the code there and click the update button.

Here goes the three examples:

• Youtube video - watch this funny video about pronunciation and then see where I got the html code (red rectangle):

• Rockyou - that's a website where you can create photo albums (there are many options of albums) for free. This is one slide I created of pictures from a place I really want to visit. Can you guess what place it is? Watch the slide and then see where I got the html code (red rectangle):

• Gifup - another website to creat a photo show. This one has only picturs from Brasília. The same thing, take a look at the pictures and then see where I got the html code:

 

Well guys, these are some ways of making posts more attractive and sophisticated, so have fun!

Hello everyone! My name is Ronaldo and I am an English teacher. I love my profession because of the beauty of the language learning process. For me, learning a language, "memorizing" hundreds and hundreds of words, and being able to express yourself in a new language is simply extraordinary!

I was born in Brasília, the modern capital of my beautiful country, and have been living here since I was born. I have been married for a little more than two years now. That picture was taken last year, on my birthday, in a very nice Argentinean restaurant called Corrientes 348 (I ate a great "Picanha Argentina").

In my free time, I like to surf the web, listen to music (I believe I'm very eclectic), watch movies and play the saxophone. My favorite kinds of food are my mother's and Japanese!

 That's it! If you want to know anything else about me, feel free to ask!
