An Idom a Day
Here is a web site that I want to recommend to all who want to learn English idoms. It's "One Idom a Day" from Dave Jackson. Dave offers one English idiom every day as a short audio podcast episode. I recommend to subscribe to the free RSS feed via iTunes or any other podcatcher to get the new episode automatically every day.

Short summary on EVO2010
I'm now in week 4 of the EVO2010 seminars. Unfortunately, some other work kept me from following all the activities in my 6 sessions that I have registered for. At the moment, I accomplish some tasks on some of the sessions if I have some free time.

3D-Teaching and Learning in Second Life
This is another free Class for Sunday Jan 31.
This class will give you a rough overview about how to use Second Life ® (SL) for teaching and/or learning. I will walk you through the process of creating your own SL avatar, so that you can start exploring the 3D community there. The class will not tell you how to use SL and how to move your avatar (I’ll prepare another class for that soon).

Kitchen Fire
My last activity for week 2 on the "Teaching Languages in a Virtual World" was a visit to the burning kitchen on sunday. It's a simulation built by people from Switzerland, where you can learn how to deal with a fire in your kitchen.

Two more tours in Second Life
I attended to two tours from the "Teaching Languages in Virtual Worlds" session.
The first one was Thursday and we visited the Holocaust Museum with an exhibition of the Reichskristallnacht (November 1938). The exhibition is very impressive and touching, because all objects are on display with recorded audio narratives from survivors of the holocaust.

About Class
Some Examples to use free web services.
The Internet is using a lot of free social web services that you can use comfortably and free. A lot of these offers are quite useless but some of them are really useful for your daily work.
I will show you some of the useful ones.
