		<description><![CDATA[A ) 

The pic above belongs to the  Flickr images that I decided to use to try ideas with this tool.
This is how I used it to enhance interaction with colleagues/contacts from the EVO 2008
B)
Another idea could be the teaching of some grammar points: Let&#8217;s consider, for instance, the &#8220;Present Perfect&#8221;:
1st Look at this [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=arinformes.wordpress.com&blog=144334&post=67&subd=arinformes&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

<p>The pic above belongs to the  Flickr images that I decided to use to try ideas with this tool.<br />
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/joaoa/1297329362/?addedcomment=1#comment72157603824642450">This is how I used it to enhance interaction with colleagues/contacts from the EVO 2008</a></p>
<p><b>B)</b></p>
<p>Another idea could be the teaching of some grammar points: Let&#8217;s consider, for instance, the &#8220;Present Perfect&#8221;:</p>
<p>1st Look at this image:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2368/2232295259_4d72bd0b2d_m_d.jpg" alt="Is this shelf tidy?" /></p>
<p>2nd And now look at this pic:</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2073/2233085654_065e30bef9_m_d.jpg" alt="Is the shelf tidy now?" /></p>
<p>Lastly, present this sentence:</p>
<p><font color="#008080">Somebody <b>has organized</b> the bookshelf. It&#8217;s neat now.</font></p>
<p><b>C)</b></p>
<p>It could serve as an excellent springboard for oral debates.</p>
<p>Imagine a conversation class starting with teacher asking students on first things coming to their minds at seeing <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/englishstudio/2232744132/sizes/o/">this image</a></p>
<p><b>D)</b></p>
<p>Good chance to show some bits of culture and traditions. It is always important to provide the cultural/social contexts of the native speakers of the language students are learning. It&#8217;s another way of opening up their minds I think.<br />
Will they get surprised at knowing that <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/englishstudio/2233441558/sizes/o/">&#8220;cream tea&#8221;</a> is typical in the English Summer especially?</p>
<p>Nice opportunity to teach &#8220;clotted cream&#8221;, &#8220;scones&#8221;, &#8220;jam&#8221; , &#8220;teapot&#8221;, etc.</p>
