Joomla! Extensions

Hello everyone!
What's up?

  Today we are going to talk about Joomla! and its extensions for our web page. But first of all, what is Joomla! ?
   Joomla! is a free and open-source content management system (CMS) for publishing web content. This means that you can create your web page using this application and it offers a wide variety of tools for helping you with that. Joomla! is totally free and it can be quite useful to create, for example, an online guidance for students.
  This CMS provides you with all the information to create your web site, it includes written information that you can read but also video training that shows how to improve your site. Apart from that, you should cheack its extensions.
  Joomla! counts with incredible extensions you can add to your webpage. If you want to see them, just press extensions and you will get there. 



  Here you can see where to classify the extensions in top rated or most reviewed. I've looked for an extension I would use and I've found Reading List:


"Reading List enhances content-rich sites by enabling users to select Joomla 
articles and/or K2 Items for inclusion in their own personal Reading List. 
They can later browse and read the articles in an easy to use interface. 
Even more, they can share their content selection with social 
networks and provide a personalized reading link to friends 
and public alike, thus enabling them to offer a unique 
content digest and drive traffic to the site."

  As you can see, this extension allows you to create your own reading list and to share it with your friends. I find this extension quite useful since you are usually surfin on the Internet and you see interesting things that you will like to share or to keep.
  
I hope you like this powerful tool!!

Students’ Needs

Good morning everyone! How is Christmas going?    In this entry we are going to talk about student's needs in the classroom, this is the  type of linguistic exchanges that students need to use.   For this activity, I've selected the first year of Bachillerato, where we can find our subject: Universal Literature.   While the lesson is going on, our students will need a certain level of English to understand it. The materials they will be working with, would be in English, such as their textbook, articles, the literary works and the digital content and tools that can be used (PowerPoint presentations, online dictionaries, moodle, and so on). Moreover, in order to understand some of the literary works, we can use films to illustrate them. So, since they are discussing with each other, watching films, listening to the teacher, reading different books and writing their own papers, they are developing the four areas that a language has.    A...
