Google Earth is 20 years old this June! Have you checked it recently? If not, you should give it a go, because it has pretty much changed over those two decades and now it offers not only better views, but also nice educational options for all age groups. As always, I want to share my favourite features.

A Winter’s Tale (no-prep lesson plan)

The older I am, the more I like winter break – but what I really enjoy is the mixture of various traditions and customs. Today I want to take you to Finland and enjoy a nice Christmas-based, but not Christmas-style lesson.

If you feel you could do with a little bit of learning yourselves, worry not - here's my traditional set list of seven great courses you may enjoy in September: they're online, they're free, they're awesome! And since I remember how hectic Septembers can be for teachers, I've tried to find courses that are either short or self-paced, so you can start them on your own.

Have you ever felt tired with your students checking their mobiles and Facebook updates in the classroom? Maybe you're annoyed with their "I was just checking the word in the dictionary" when you perfectly well know they're simply messaging their Facebook friends? Well, what can I say: if you can't fight'em, join'em!

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.
