I’ve been hunting around on-line today for grammar ideas for my Language Development session with the teachers on Wednesday and have found these.  Here are the best links so far.

If you are a visual learner this site looks useful.  Jane Straus is also a published author but her youtube videos look good and concise!  Watch over sixty, one-minute videos here.  These are very helpful for exam students.

I have enjoyed playing around with Bookr today.  It is so easy to use. The pictures are taken from a bank of photos on Flikr.  My only problem was making the photos move slowly across the bottom of the screen so I could see them properly.   My short book above would be perfect for present perfect practice!  Students could make up their own creations.    All the books could then be easily uploaded to a blog or a wiki and shared.   The only downside is that these books can’t be printed off but you can send them as email attachments. I love the way the pages turn. The way you drag the pages over with the mouse has a realistic feel about it!

The uses for Bookr are endless.  Let’s hope it remains free.  I’m now going to try and reactivate my creative side and become an Author!   Ha Ha!  Here goes with my wish list book!!
