2nd ESO students share ideas to create new websites

Last Friday our 2nd ESO students learnt some vocabulary related to the internet during their class with Raj, our language assistant. During the session, they worked in groups and came up with new ideas to make their own webpages. They all did a great job and some of the proposals were really good!! Here are some photos and videos taken during those lessons. 

Millenials generation

Very interesting video which shows the differences between the babyboomers generation and the so called millenials, young people who were born with the new millenium and whose motto is living in the moment. 

It really helps to see this generation under a different perspective and understand what they are up to. In some aspects, we are not that different, are we? After all, we all have been young sometime!!
