Personally, children consider fundamental mistake, than learn to manage those mistakes and learn from them.

Teach children languages or new vocabulary through thematic activities is a great way to create a specific context, so the child to focus on what he is learning.
Themed activities can be used for almost any block vocabulary. I use them a lot because I used to catch the attention of children and, further, arouse interest. These activities, provided they are well silvery, you start introducing vocabulary and children end up asking the rest.

There are many times when dealing with parents of my students issues related to the use of new technologies in the education of their children. Most often it agrees with the fact that new technologies are very attractive for small and generally tend to help your learning and entertainment. But it is also true that there are still skeptical parents to the use of new technologies to believe that the use of these will not let their children develop real skills related to the real world.
Today I want to address this issue because I believe that in this case we can not speak or white or black, but rather a gray scale we can take depending on our goals and interests.
