I already made one list of my favourite websites months ago, but there are so many great things you find while websurfing that I'll probably make more of such sets.
Also, it can be easily seen that I love making lists.

Can fake identity be useful for teachers?
Today I'm going to show you something you might not have thought of using, and which proves that a teacher role for today is almost a secret agent!

Want to teach online? RPG comes to the rescue!
I want to share with you an idea of a free platform where you could practise skills required from a professional online teacher.

7 free lifesaving apps for classroom fun
My classroom policy is very simple: communicating in English and having fun. And whenever I feel less creative, I use one of my favourite free applications on my mobile phone to bring in some fun and discussion - it works every time, so I've decided to share seven of those that never let me down.

Spring poems - lesson plan
I don't usually share lesson plans, but I want to show how combining two various sources may help create something unusual and bring some wow effect to the classroom. Here I mixed environment and writing poems and it worked just great!

Twinkl Imagine - check, communicate and chill out
Some time ago I decided to join Twinkl group for bloggers who test this platform and share their ideas. In case you don't know what Twinkl is - it's a mine full of jewels like lesson plans, resources, interactive activities, presentations, posters and loads of ideas for teachers, parents and caretakers. Oh, and homeschoolers.

I didn't do my homework... - project idea (not only for young learners!)
It was in a small bookshop in Manchester where I noticed a book which immediately caught my eye: I Didn't Do My Homework Because by Davide Cali and illustrated by Benjamin Chaud.
The book is basically a list of perfectly illustrated, funny, weird, amazingly impossible excuses a student could use... but they usually don't.
Unless I, as a teacher, make them to :)

Make your own e-book with Storybird
Today I want to share a tiny little project I'm planning to use once my students feel bored and will need a spark of creativity - Storybird.

Commercial Christmas or Christmas commercials?
It's not easy to come up with Christmas-themed lessons, especially when you teach the same bunch of students yet another year and they've already had enough of Christmas at school (be it their own or their children's). This year, I accidentally went for a pretty nice Christmas theme inspired by commercials and a fellow teacher's blog post.

How do we learn (and how can we use Padlet in the classroom)?
I don't even remember how I came across Padlet, but since one of my vices is being overly organised (I've realised I'm overly organised when I noticed how many people laugh at me or stare in disbelief once they see me do admin work), that was love at first sight – and obviously, as a properly infatuated teacher, I've decided to share my ideas on making Padlet an awesome tool in teaching both inside and outside the classroom.
