The Rembrandts - I'll Be There For You (HD) + Lyrics

STILL BEST "FRIENDS" 20 YEARS LATER

Many people consider it the best sitcom of American TV... and I agree. For me it's the most intelligent, hilarious and well interpreted sitcom of TV and you can't help falling in love with this bunch of crazy friends. You want to be a part of them and hang around with the group in the couch of Central Perk. Ÿes, FRIENDS is the best show ever and I can't believe it began 20 years ago! Amazing! My first teaching experience with them was in autumn 1997, when a colleague of mine lent me a VCR tape with several episodes of the first season. So I decided to show The One with the laundromat, where Ross helps Rachel do the laundry by herself and fight the ugly lady. Yes, I know you remember that one too, everyone does. Then, you know the rest of the story... Ross, Rachel, the break up, Chandler, Monica, Joey, Phoebe.... that cast was blessed with laughter and charm, and we all have been blessed with many hours of good comedy and the best jokes on a TV show. I confess: I'm a total fan of FRIENDS and I don't want to hide it. If you ever need me, I'll be there for you, waiting in Central Perk. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/22/showbiz/tv/friends-20th-anniversary/

VISITING YOUR CITY WITH AUGMENTED REALITY

You know that I love using ICT in my English lessons. Augmented Reality is one of the wonderful uses of ICT for learning purposes, but it takes a little bit of courage and experience to use it. However, give it a try if you have had any experience with digital tools and mobile learning. The outcome is very enjoyable by the students and teachers alike. These pics were taken during a visit to the Industrial and Modernist Heritage of our city with the App TERRASSA AUGMENTADA http://terrassaugmentada.wordpress.com/ which was created with the help and piloting of students of our IES TORRE DEL PALAU SECONDARY SCHOOL. Get augmented and enjoy! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.756682571028935.1073741862.208491829181348&type=3

HOTEL RWANDA: AN EXCELLENT MOVIE TO REVISIT RWANDA'S GENOCIDE 20 YEARS LATER

The film HOTEL RWANDA is an excellent film that covers the heroic life of Paul Rusesabagina, a hotel owner in Rwanda who saved many people during the Rwanda genocide 20 years ago. Watch the film and do these interactive activities to learn more about the story so that it won't be reapeated again.

RWANDA: 20 YEARS AFTER THE GENOCIDE

When we talk about the word "genocide" we tend to think about the Nazi Holocaust in the 1940's. However, we have had another terrible Holocaust that didn't get as much attention as the other one. The African country of Rwanda witnessed a terrible manslaughter of 800000 people in 100 days: horrible nightmarish numbers for a small country. Help the memory of the Rwanda Holocaust be alive with these stories of hope so it won't ever be repeated. Never forget, boys, never forget.
