Transitioning - 30 minuts Transexuality has generally been associated with the adult world, but increasing numbers of boys and girls, starting at a very young age, are clearly stating their discord with the gender assigned to them at birth. Some of these minors choose to make the transition, very early on, to the gender with which they feel identified. They are all part of the "new trans generation." The documentary "Transition. Transexual Minors" explores the subject through first-hand stories told by four young people who have taken this step: David (age 6), Estel (age 11), Raquel (age 14) and Mario (age 17). Marta, age 23, has a different story to tell. But the trans reality, especially in the adult world, reaches much further.

Archivos del blog With much excitement and build up, details about the new iPhone X were finally released. I, like many others, have found the whole experience very underwhelming. I should say that I am never really excited about getting the newest gadget (I just reluctantly replaced my broken iPhone 5, with an iPhone SE). Durable Glass I bought a stick on screen from Kroger which has helped my phone survive numerous breaks. Wireless ChargingGive yourself the illusion of wireless iPhone charging with this slim charging case! Facial RecognitionFirstly my face looks very different first thing on a Monday morning, compared to on a Saturday before I go out. Animoji yourselfThis was probably the most frustrating part for me - there are already so many apps that do different variations of this.

Archivos del blog I'm working with my colleague Helen to teach a unit on Living Spaces to her Grade 9/10 ESOL students. Today we started off the unit by doing a simple activity where students categorized and sorted out different labels. The labels were all different words relating to the house, including everything from parts of the building, through to appliances. Round Two: Essential to non-essentialStudents were told they needed to re-organize, picking the most essential items, right down to the least needed. Round Three: Cutting it downStudents were then told that they had to cut it down to only ten essential items. I showed students this video, which shows a new material 'concrete canvas', which allows you to build a sturdy, secure structure out of a canvas material, which hardens like concrete. This activity could easily be done for any subject, topic and age range. I'm working with my colleague Helen to teach a unit on Living Spaces to her Grade 9/10 ESOL students.
