Happy New Year everyone. As I start my first conference of the year, I begin to wonder what this year’s conference circuit will hold in store and what new and exciting things I’ll learn. One thing I hope is that I’ll see more of a ‘bottoms up’ philosophy appearing in workshops and conferences.

Can you help me with the content for a talk please
Thanks for coming to read this. I need your help please, if you can spare a few minutes of your precious time.
As might have seen from twitter, #eltchat is going to have a symposium at IATEFL about social networking. My talk is going to centre on hashtagging.

Links and slides from ELT Signpost talks
Before getting to the links, I thought I’d share a video Mark Andrews made while at the conference – though he has made me realise how much I walk around!
This is the bibliography for my talk last Saturday at the ELT signpost conference in Brno
For the Swiss teachers
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.
Have you #eltchat(ted) yet?
If not, you should, well you should if you’re involved in the ELT. Of course if you don’t use twitter then you might be a bit lost at this point. Let me explain.
World Cup Activities
The World Cup starts today hurrah four weeks of football and a clear excuse to do football related lessons. As such there have been a lot of resources tweeted about over the last few days. So here’s a list of those links, starting with the excellent free resource site provided by @esolcourses
IATEFL – What I saw on day one
Back at the hotel after a great first day of IATEFL. Apologies if you follow me on twitter and got inundated with tweets, I use twitter to collect my notes from talks (I used to simply type them in word but now I can type, collect and share.)
A new site to play with – jigzone
Twitter rarely fails to provide me with at least one thing a day that i want to try and use in my teaching or training. This evening @evab2001 sent out a link for a a site called jigzone ,thus keeping me occupied for an hour or so making, and then solving jigsaw puzzles out of my photos. Mind you I do like my puzzles (see my post in December on pixuffle )
Playing with wiffiti
Someone twittered about using wiffiti (which basically pulls together messages from twitter etc). It looked interesting so played around using EFL /ESL tags and it produced this. Now to think how I can use it in class
