I am back online after a while! I have neglected blogging for a while but the school year has started and I still want to share resources and other interesting stuff I see, read and hear. So the first thing I want to share with you this school year is the wiki I created a while ago to store the Spanish curriculum at my school. Three years ago, I started to teach Spanish in an international school in Germany. This was my first international job (as before that I was teaching in comprehensive schools in England) and this was also the first time I had the responsibility of starting a program from scratch. As a matter of fact, Spanish was not taught before I came so everything needed to be done! I took on this job mostly because of this challenge and so far it has been a lot of hard work but I have also really enjoyed it.

A year ago, I thought it would be a good idea to share the Spanish curriculum online. Not only with the web community but also with my colleagues at school. So far I am still the only main Spanish teacher but soon there will more Spanish colleagues needed (as Spanish is becoming quite popular) and they will need to know what is going on! The best and easiest way for me was to share everything on a wiki. It is easy to set up, easy to access and most importantly other people can contribute by editing the content. That is why I created http://spanishcurricula.wikispaces.com/. Obviously, it is still a work in progress and there is a lot missing. Little by little I am putting everything I do with my classes. So far, I have shared the middle school and the IGCSE programs. I still need to add the IB (ab initio and Language B) program to make it complete.

I hope you can use this wiki to help you in your teaching and of course, I am opened to any suggestions.

What about you? Where do you store your curriculum?
