Right! Now you can access your course, the next step is to be able to send me a message.

Every week (at 15.00 on Fridays), I’ll send you a message reminding you of the homework and giving you any relevant news, I’ll even send you a joke of the week here too.

In the MESSAGE BOX you too can send me a message any day of the week and I’ll be able to get back to you straight away. Moreover, you can also send a message to any of your classmates here too, to work with your PROJECT partners.

So, what do you have to do to send a message, it’s simple:

 Step 1: First click on “MY PERSONAL PAGE”

Step 2: Then click on Message Box:

Here you see that I’ve sent you a message,

open it and then just click on RESPONDER

To send me your reply.

Step 3:If you want to send a message to one of your class mates all you have to do choose who you want to send it to

Step 4: Don’t forget to confirm the recipient of the message by pressing the button with the two arrows facing the right, once you click on this, the recipient of the message is confirmed and the all you have to do is write in a title and click on ENVIAR:

Click hereto make surethe destination is confirmed

• Each class will begin with “where are we?” A 5 minute orientation/ feedback session: there are 2 classes per unit (online + textbook chapter)

•At the end of your class I will tell you the homework for the next class. I will send you a message every Friday before 3 with the homework and a weekly joke

• At home, log in to www.webcnai.com/ www.inapidiomas.net go to the message box & then activities and enter your online course and the corresponding unit.

• Homework could be a forum or a short composition but I will also recommend grammar work from the CD rom/ online and some reading activities too.

What do I have to do from class to class?

I hope not, but I know it is a lot of information to process! Don’t worry it will all become clear as we progress from class to class but remember you are not alone: it is very easy to contact me:

you can send me a message on our platform (click on message box)or send me an email (nkennedy@webcnai.com) and you can always call me in Cnai (948.207343).
