Guardian Angel

Hello, everybody. Let me introduce myself : My name is Nelba Quintana and I am the ITC (Information and Communication Technology) Coordinator of the English Area. 

I am part of this Adults 4 blog project as a kind of guardian angel. Although you are in contact with me very often, I want to tell you that I am always "on the net" to give you a hand, I read your comments, check activities, add gadgets to the blog to make it more attractive, etc.

Soledad and all the teachers of adults 4 courses are in charge of the content and activities of this blog and I am here to help you with any technological problem you may have, so if you cannot work in the blog (e.g. leave a comment) please contact me by mail to escuelaunlp@yahoo.com.ar , write in the Subject of the mail: Problem with Adults 4 blog, explain your problem as clear as possible and identify yourself (name, surname and course you belong to).

This project team is doing its best to make this experience enriching for your English language learning and digital literacy acquisition. Unfortunately, sometimes technology does not work properly and you may experience some difficulties. But please, do not give up and whenever you have a problem, contact us as soon as possible.

Enjoy this online ride!  :-)

Welcome to our blog



Dear Students:

This year, tutorial classes will be a bit different. I imagine your teacher has already given you some information about this activity since you are now reading this blog. We are going to start a fascinating trip into the Internet world and by the end of the year you will reach surprising achievemets!

The aim of using digital technology in English courses is to introduce you to digital literacy which will be very useful either in your everyday or professional life.

Actually, this blog will be, in a way, like your class book and one of our means of communication - we will use e-mailing as well. I will upload a post every two weeks with new material for you to read and tasks to do.

FIRST ACTIVITY: To break the ice and start getting familiar with this tool, please,   click on "comments" at the bottom of this post and write about what experience you have using the Internet: Do you use Internet? How often? What for? (checking mail, chatting, reading the newspaper, etc.)





Dead line: March 30th.


Please, sign your comments with your name and the course you belong to. For example: Juan Sánchez- Adults4 C
