Everybody likes May (or at least sweet potential of May mini break), the most fragrant month of the year - who doesn't like the smell of lilac? We can almost smell the scent of summer break, and when we relax a bit, it's nice to take care of our development. I found some great free online courses you may enjoy this May - which one do you think is the best option for you?

Teacher, do you remember why you love your job?
I believe we all know this feeling of discouragement, with more and more administrative duties, students requiring more individual care and parents who are becoming more and more demanding.
What I want to write about is a short list of things that may help you smile, lift up your chin and remember that we matter, teachers matter, that regardless of what people claim, we do change the world. And we should never, ever, stop believing that.

7 Free Online Courses in April
April is still a pretty moody month, and the best thing one may wish for is weather that is quite stable. Unfortunately, we're bound to experience the mixture of sunny and gloomy days, but it's all good since we know what April showers bring.

Creative Confidence - not only in your classroom
When I discovered brothers Kelley with their "Creative Confidence" and I thought I absolutely owe you a review of this book. However, I am only able to share some impressions, as it is quite impossible to write a review of something that made me feel like I can change the world if I only try.

Adult students, let's roll! (Role-Playing Teaching: Part 13)

Dear teacher, vulnerability is not weakness
Imagine an educational system where it's OK for teachers to openly admit their issues and share them with colleagues in atmosphere of mutual understanding. Imagine teachers carrying this attitude to the classroom and teaching it by showing - making the students believe that it's OK to feel insecure, that everyone has issues once in a while and that there are people who are willing to help instead of judging.

Self-reflect December Challenge
It's almost December which means 2018 is almost over! How?! I mean, last time I blinked it was summer! And with the End Of Year Month I have an idea for a little challenge I want to share with you and make it a nice game where we can reflect on 2018 a bit.

Role-Playing Teaching (Part 12: This is for the Players)
It's been a year since I started writing about RPGs and ways they could be used in the classroom. My blog is written primarily for the teachers, especially the EFL ones, but today I won't write for the teachers, but for the RPGs players, as I think they deserve some explanations without the didactic background which is quite obvious for the teachers, but not so much for the rest of the world.

I know most people feel rather sad in November, but I believe there's nothing better to cheer you up like a nice online course. You can enjoy it at home, listening to raindrops or favourite music...
