The new normal - Disrupting ELT
Posted on May 27, 2012 at 4:34pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I'm all about 'disruption" (to borrow Clayton Christensen's term) and think this is the most potent role that technology plays in our society.
A disrupter thinks small and keeps moving. Large companies/groups are about sustaining and normalcy - the small can dress up in innovation and act quickly -…
ContinueKeeping The Ideas Flowing
Posted on May 20, 2012 at 11:33pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I think that the godhead, the soul, the core of the new technology paradigm is "the pipeline of ideas". We now have the ability to correspond, share, connect, learn with, learn from, engage so many, all over the world. This is truly revolutionary and changing the world - especially our own teaching world.
So I've spent more work and energy to share with my fellow teachers!

Posted on May 13, 2012 at 5:11pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I would like to share one of the ideas that most invigorates and informs me as a teacher. The idea of "Student Created Content" or SCC. I borrow the term from UGC or UCC, "user generated/created content" that is the motor of Web 2.0 and the internet.
What is SCC?
It is an approach that tries to simplify the teaching/learning process and equalize the power relationship that exists between…

It's not easy on the web these days. There is so much and seemingly so little time. The more search engines are perfected, the more social media evolves, the more notifications improve, we still seem way behind and fail at keeping up with "the new". Noise abounds too....
I guess like that marvelous Beckett (Godot) quote, "I can't go on, I'll go on." So for my own community EFL Classroom 2.0, I keep fighting the good…

Happy New Year David. Thank you for making this possible. Sorry I've let you down in the past. Hoping we find a way to collaborate more in 2012.
Cheers!

Merry Christmas, David. A little early, but this way I'm sure to get it posted :) With thoughts for Riley and your niece <3
Thank you David for your warm welcome! The weather here is OK, but we hardly ever have white Christmas as you do, which is a pity!
I've just included my blog!
Thanks again ;-)
Best wishes,
Mónica

Hey David, isn't it odd that wall comments are in chronological order? Anyway, that's not what I stopped by about... I'm wondering if you know of any free programs that help one discover and delete duplicate files on hard drives? Mine are a MESS!
I've got to go check out that TESOL course... people flying through!

Because the network is so slow, it's very hard to say what I want to. Now that I've learned what the problem is, I think I know what to do first tomorrow morning. This question kept bothering me. Even though I really appreciate your candid advice, I feel quite frustrated inside me, because no matter how I try hard I always see my limitation in English teaching. I wanted my students to apply the grammar that they learned in the classroom into the real world, so I wrote about the real basket ball team in our school, which caused me to get into trouble. Haha.
