We have a new
"Magazine" to keep you informed about everything happening
on EFL Classroom 2.0. All content will get updated and prioritized
there. Click underneath and get a whole list of what else is there
also! I'll be continuing to refine this and create public
categories so you can get what you want, when you want! |

Video of the Month |

Wow! So many amazing videos this month. What is a
Moment? has a beautiful discussion (and is also a great video
for use with students).The Bill
Cosby commencement address also got many hits. However,
the vote (most hits) this month goes to 6 Billion
Others - an amazing series of interviews with
subtitles. Real Wisdom!
View our whole directory of hundreds of THE BEST VIDEOS. Don't
forget ourA/V

TEFList - The Video Resume Job Site |
I
have been working over one year now in an effort to build a unique
job recruitment site for teachers. TEFList will use video resumes so
teachers can better showcase themselves. Further, all the jobs on
the web will be in one place and both employers and teachers will
have a one stop home (email, conferencing, resume printing, search
etc...). Our alpha will be launched this month and I'll be asking
members to help give us valuable feedback. Please help out!
All alpha members will get lifetime premium benefits! Stay tuned
for the full launch shortly - you'll be amazed at the features and
how it will revolutionize the TESOL online job search. |
