December is definitely a month to sum things up and plan something new, close some chapters and embrace changes and opportunities. If you don't know how to start - here, I prepared a short "to-do" list for your winter break!

7 Free Online Courses in December
Naturally, relaxing means taking care of one's body and mind - and what's better than learning something new? My pro-tip for online courses in December is watching online classes and baking cakes or cookies at the same time. Bliss! If you want to give it a try, I have a batch of seven free online courses to accompany your culinary endeavours.

Time management (not only) for teachers (book review)
It took me half a year to finish one book - seriously, and it's not because I'm a slow reader, quite contrary. It's a book addressing one of my greatest problems (apart from procrastination and struggling with taking over the world) which is time management, something a work-from-home person may have issues with - I sure did.

Games: Innovation at No Cost (Role-Playing Teaching: Part 20)
Stories help us understand the world we live in, various relationships, social codes and behaviours – and once we understand the theory illustrated by stories, we keep practising by means of games.

This article may come as the last in the series, but for me they are a group that may benefit most from using RPGs in their educational process, or simply benefit from playing RPGs. Believe me - I was such a teen.

Roll your summertime with kids! (Role-Playing Teaching: Part 16)
I want to give you some reasons why playing RPGs with children may be a great idea for everyone involved - especially now, with summer break approaching.

7 Free Online Courses in June
If you ever feel like there's something you should do apart from relaxing, maybe a short online course or two... Well, here I am, ever-watchful! I've found seven nice and free courses that may be quite interesting for teachers... even those ready for their summer break!

What do games offer in EFL classes? (guest podcast in PL)
Today there is no blog post! Today you can actually hear me rambling on games in education.

Public speaking for teachers? Why not? (book review)
The main reason I bought Public Speaking for Success was the fact that I'm doing more and more workshops, and I realise I have quite a vast area to improve. Talk Like TED was really inspiring, so I decided to try the book by Dale Carnegie (famous for How to Win Friends and Influence People). To my surprise, even though the book is targeted at salespeople and presenters, teachers still may find it useful.
