Ever get tired of modeling or acting out the paired practices in REALIDADES? We understand.

Help your students get better using our Quizzes with Study Plans. We've taken the Pruebas from REALIDADES and converted them to auto-graded quizzes. If a student performs below expectations, the computer automatically assigns remediation activities, and then a second quiz. Both grades go in the Gradebook for your review. Available within realidades.com or separately as Got It! Online Review and Reteaching for Vocabulary and Grammar Digital Courses.


Who says review can't be fun? We've created three additional games to use as review at the end of each chapter. You assign the game, the students have fun, the computer does the grading, and both you and the students see if they know the vocabulary and grammar. Sweet. Available within realidades.com.

The teacher contacted Savvas support and provided all the info they asked for; what device was she using, current iOS, size of storage, memory, bla, bla, bla. They sent her link to show her how to: clear the cache of the iPad, double check to see if the iPad was compatible (it was), bla, bla, bla. After a couple of back and forths, they informed the teacher that they had "elevated her case status and were looking into it. After all this she came to me with the issue.


Can't lie, I was stumped at first. I was able to replicate everything mentioned above but still no solution, then it hit me like a bolt out of the blue. A number of years ago our Science Department was having problems accessing websites with flash videos on the iPads, Apple has never support this on the iPad. I did some research and found another browser (Puffin Browser), that allowed Flash to work on the iPad.


I find it hard to believe that a multi-million dollar company like Savvas (formerly Pearson Learning) could not figure out why it was not working especially in today's world of remote leaning. I was informed by the teacher that when Savvas came out to train our Science Department, she asked if there were any know issues with iPads-since we are 1:1. The response was "No. You are still using iPAds? Everyone else is using Chromebooks". YIKES!!! Let's just say I'm not impressed. That being said, today will be my last day working at Georgetown Middle/High School. I will be working at Savvas next week as a consultant---KIDDING!! :-)


First things first, how do you get to the place? Well, if you take the airport road from Paphos (B6) and then turn left onto the F616 after you go past the Asprokremmos Dam, you can then stay on that road until you are about half way up the Diarizos Valley. You will have gone past Agios Georgios, and Maronas, to your right. Just before you come to the Extreme View Cafe, you will see a brown sign pointing to your right. Head down there and keep on the main track. It is a bit bumpy, but you should be ok in most cars. If you are unsure though, don't take a risk. Just use your common sense.


Ok, so let's have a bit of history. According to the internet, The Agios Savvas tis Karonos Monastery was originally built in the twelfth century, and it was later restored by the Venetians. In 1467, the monastery was destroyed by fire; however, it was rebuilt with the assistance of James II, a Cypriot king.


In 1533, the Agios Savvas tis Karonos Church was built on site of the monastery ruins. There is nothing that says why the monastery was once again ruined though. The church was renovated in 1742. Since then, the church has been repaired various times. It is still used as a church, though I doubt there is a regular service, owing to it's remoteness.


So these ruins have been ruins for 500 years. That's incredible, when you think about it. I know you get ancient ruins in Paphos and other places, but they've all had a bit of TLC over the years. This place has been left to its own devices.


Sklavenitis Cyprus has announced the integration of Papantoniou Supermarkets into its network. This move strengthens Sklavenitis Cyprus' presence, bringing its total number of stores to 27, while retaining 769 jobs.


Whether you are living in Cyprus or just here for a visit you will find something to suit you on Paphos Life. We have an active forum, webcams, a growing directory and events section, and a series of blogs showing you places and people you won't find in any guidebook. Come and be part of the fun!
