Welcome to my blog! I'm an ESOL teacher and teacher trainer in the UK, and you'll find some of the websites I know about in this blog, and some suggestions on how to use them. Hope it's helpful.

30 Goals

One of the great things about getting out and about on the net is the number of REALLY innovative, interesting, motivated educators that you come into contact with. I thought I was quite a motivated sort of person, but it awes me how much get-up-and-go some people have!  My latest example of this is Shelly Terrell, who is a powerhouse!   Her blog, Teacher Reboot Camp can be found here  and through this links to her project '30 Goals'.  This is her challenge to you (yes, you!) to achieve 30 short term IT based goals in 30 days (or in as long as you think is more realistic for you).  She's produced a book (below) giving ideas and there are more on her blog and the idea is that you don't do this in splendid isolation, but you tweet about what you achieve so that you can get support from other like-minded people.  How great is that??!!

The only thing I'd say is that most of us mere mortals don't have her energy, but I'm going to try to do some of them - maybe on a slightly longer time-scale.
