First of all, this is my first time I'm using bloggen.be. Second, I'm studying to be a teacher. The courses I may give at school are informatics and economics. I'm at school in Belgium and my native language is Dutch. The reason why all my messages will be in English is because I want to receive tips, reactions, ... of everybody in the whole world. So I'm very sorry if there are language errors in my blogs. I'm making this blog because next year I have to make a these. The subject is: How can I make economics more interactive for students? So I'm going to make it more interactive with 'Hot Potatoes'. Some of you will know it, others won't. In my next blog I will give some more information about it. I hope I will receive as many useful tips, reactions, ... as possible.
