Besides the posts there are hundreds of materials to be used in class as I am a content creator for several subjects and share them free with every teacher who might find them helpful. One of them is the “Museum of the School”, a collection of graphic artworks depicting features of life and society in different ages of History, from Prehistory to Contemporary Times.
- I’ve also featured at some Teachers Training Meetings and delivered workshops mainly on how to teach English from a communicative an innovative approach.
