Presentación de mi PLE.

En esta entrada a mi blog quiero presentar a mi PLE "Personal Learning Environment" que en castellano sería "Entorno de Aprendizaje Personal".
Aquí en los primeros diez botones incluí blogs que explican, enseñan y te acercan a novedades que tengan que ver como enseñar hoy a través de las Tics y como mi área es la enseñanza del Inglés agregué blogs que sean específicos de dicha actividad.
Luego en los siguientes once botones sumé usuarios de TWITTER que alimentan mi entorno debido a que son personas o espacios que tratan acerca de las Tics y sus usos como herramientas en la práctica de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Los siguientes cinco botones son hashtags en Twitter que también están relacionados con lo mencionado anteriormente.
Finalmente, en las últimas siete botoneras muestro mis etiquetas en DELICIOUS y contactos específicos para mi entorno.
Me parece de gran ayuda y utilidad este PLE para tener todo " a mano" con respecto a todas las noticias de educación, las Tics y la enseñanza de la lengua extranjera (Inglés) ya que tenemos todo en un solo lugar sin necesidad de estar buscando acerca de estos temas por toda la Web. Esto me permite leer cada día lo que necesito o me interesa.

La dirección de mi PLE es la siguiente:

Past Perfect tense

"Sarah went to a party last week. Paul went to the party too, but they didn´t see each other. Paul left the party at 10:30 and Sarah arrived at 11:00. So: When Sarah arrived at the party, Paul wasn´t there. He had gone home".
Had gone is the past perfect.

The past perfect simple is had + past participle (gone / seen / finished etc.)

Sometimes we talk about something that happened in the past:
  • Sarah arrived at the party.
This is the starting point of the story. Then, if we want to talk about things that happened before this time, we use the past perfect (had.....):
  • When Sarah arrived at the party, Paul had already gone home.
Affirmative:
I / You / We / They / He / She / It had gone.

Negative:
I / You / We / They / He / She / It hadn´t gone.

Question:
Had I / you / we / they / he / she / it gone?

Past Continuous

We use the past continuous to talk about:

  • an action that was in progress at a time in the past. The action started before that time and continued after that time: I was watching TV at six.
  • two actions that were in progress at the same time in the past: I was talking to Luke while Kate was making dinner.
We use while with the two verbs. Notice when we use a comma (,):
I was talking to Luke while Kate was making dinner.
While Kate was making dinner, I was talking to Luke.

Affirmative:
I / She / He / It was playing.
You / We / They were playing.

Negative:
I / She / He / It wasn´t playing.
You / We / They weren´t playing.

Question:
Was I / she / he / it playing?
Were you / we / they playing?
