I believe you are already thinking about your summer break, aren't you? And yet here I am with a batch of online courses! Before you shrug off any idea of self-development, take a look at the classes you may take up this summer - and that's the point, actually: I have picked 7 courses that are not only free but also self-paced, which means you can learn something new whenever you feel like it.

The Power of Useless (TED-based lesson plan)
I believe we all need a bit of pure fun – especially now. And one of the first people that comes to my mind when I think of joy is Simone Giertz, a woman who makes robots that are useless – and while it may sound somewhat absurd, I think you will enjoy my simple yet highly educational lesson plan.

7 Free Online Courses in April
This March was a really draining month, so the courses I've found focus on what I, and a lot of the people I know, need most: mental help. We're facing a humanitarian crisis, and all of us, especially those educators who work with kids and teens might need all the help possible. So here are some short courses that might actually help you - and your students.

I might have mentioned before I possess a unique set of abilities I like to call Mad Organisation Skills. Today I want to share a tool that may be useful both for you and your students: the Eisenhower Matrix!

7 Free Online Courses in January
I don't really believe in the whole New Year New Me attitude, but let's be honest - it's easier to motivate oneself into doing something in January rather than in April. That's why I did my best to find some proper teacher-targeted CPD online courses - they are free, online and really helpful!

7 Free Online Courses in December
Ready for some winter ho-ho-ho? If yes, let me be a not-so-secret Santa bringing you a batch of interesting free online courses. This time I've got something you can use for your New Year Resolution (gardening or healthy food), something to try with your students (stylistics or songwriting) or something that will make your winter break happier (baking and winemaking!).

Teacher, dare to lead! (book review)
may be mid-November, but if you're looking for a great Christmas present for a fellow teacher, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts. by Brené Brown could be a great idea. And since it's mid-November you can even read it first! Would it be useful? Read my review and find out!
