Since taking an mlearning course a few weeks ago, I think I have become obsessed with QR codes. Not that I hadn’t seen them before, I have been using one to give contact details at the end of talks for a while but I think the course heightened my awareness of them, well that and I think there has been a sudden rise in their use.

I live online, spending most of day tutoring teachers online in the asynchronous environment. In my presentation at IATEFL this year, I mentioned that in order to be an effective online tutor, you need to experience being an online student. It is something I strongly believe in so always try to find a course a year.

A big thank you to all the teachers who came to my talks on Saturday. It was a pleasure to meet you and be able to talk to you all. Thank you for the generous welcome and for laughing in all the right places. Here are the slides from the plenary talk. If you need any help with the web sites, a reminder of how to use them and anything just send me an email.

Before christmas I was one of several people interviewed about the use of the use of technology in teaching. The interview was filmed and is now on the OUP Global channel on youtube. Feel free to comment here or there on it.
What colour is Monday?
Posted by Shaun Wilden on March 15th, 2011
In the last week I’ve come across two things that I am looking forward to adding to my online courses (not that they wouldn’t work face 2 face). First is the ‘thunk’ – I had not heard the term until last week’s eltchat. A thunk is a question designed to make you think. They are used to enhance critical thinking skills and range from “Is it better to live a long boring life or a short intense one ?” to “What colour is Monday?”
Jigzone revisited

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been running an online workshop looking at web tools that are used in teaching. The teachers taking part have come up with so many good ideas for using it, I thought I’d share some on my blog.
