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.

Lisa has asked me for some recommendations regarding useful sites for EFL teachers and I'm happy to make a little compilation of the places I visit most often to find ideas, inspirations, betimes lesson plans if I feel exceptionally lazy, and share them with you.

So - you'd like to teach online?

I love teaching online - I'm lucky to work with a good online school as well (good online school is a school that provides you with training, shares teaching materials with you and has supervisors ready to help), and I've been asked by some teachers how I actually got into online teaching and if it's like teaching via Skype. And since I guess it's slightly more complicated than "tutoring via Skype", I've decided to reflect on my journey so far - I know I have much more to learn, but things I've covered so far make me quite prepared to online teaching.

I've started teaching online and it's quite challenging (hence no new posts here). But since I'm comfortable with the new environment, I'd love to share my impressions so far - I've been teaching online for almost two months so far and I find the experience really fascinating (especially that I teach regular groups, not the one-to-one conversations).

I also decided to experiment with a model that seems to be the best suited to my work environment (a private language school). I think it went pretty well as the first time and we still feel like experimenting with the Station Rotation model. If you want to try, Here's a short sketch of the 90 minutes lesson.

Being a teacher = being a learner (HQBL: 1)

They say being a teacher is being a learner too, and I quite agree with that! So, when I saw a new course on coursera focused on Blended Learning I've decided to give it a go. Yay!
