Enjoy my welcome above by clicking on the video arrow to hear me speak to you.

Welcome to the world of blogging. Blogs are a great tool for teaching English, as well as other subjects.

You can post assignments for students, make class announcements, create links to websites, upload photos, videos and podcasts. Your students can post written drafts and their peers can comment and assist them with their writing.

Your students will love this idea. Below are some of my thoughts about flying to Senegal to attend the ATES meeting that I put into "wordle".
Wordle: ATES 3
Students can create these wonderful idea maps to use when brainstorming for a writing. Go to http://www.wordle.net/ and try it yourself.

Take a look through this blog for other resource ideas that you can use in your classrooms. Take time to browse the Resource links on the right.

I hope you find this blog interesting and valuable.
