What a problem!!

Problem: The new academic director wants to know about you and also how you use the blog technology. As students of Telemática you have to introduce yourselves or make up a character who represents you in a blog. After that, you have to present it in an interactive way to your classmates, before showing it to him.

• Get a partner to do this task and you can use the chat below to agree on what to do, so you can start soon and work remotely. I´d like to see everyone chatting as a way to get organized. No matter if you belong to another pair. It´s a good way to collaborate each other.
  

• Resources: Use Interchange 1, units 1,2,4,5,6,7 to decide what to do. You can include videos, pictures, music, games, and explain what the relation between them and you is.

• Once your blog is ready you have to link it to this blog

Evaluation:

• Blog creation.
  
• Interactive presentation of the blog.
• Attendance to class. (4 sessions app.)
