Using Diigo

I was lucky at the IoW Conference to be introduced to Diigo by Isabelle Jones who raved about how brilliant it is during the Show and Tell. This weekend, whilst preparing for my SSAT Lead Practice Seminar, I joined Diigo and created a group for colleagues in my area and delegates at today's event. I think it really helps to think of Diigo as a way of 'carrying around' your Favourites from Internet Explorer and being able to add tags to categorise your favourite sites is great! Today during the session it was clear that so many colleagues had websites and videos they would like to share - so let's do it! The Diigo group I set up is here!Thanks Isabelle for inspiring me and thanks Joe as ever for organising the fabulous conference.

Exciting Events for More Motivation!

After a long wait, I am finally able to post the link to the PowerPoint I presented at Language World in Oxford on the 11th of April.

I apologise to anyone who tried to access this earlier - I have been struggling with a blog issue and it has only just been resolved, despite my best efforts!

Language World was a fantastic event - it was lovely to catch up with some familiar faces (and friends from the North!) and to meet new people, all of whom were equally passionate about language teaching. Being a member of ALL allows you to meet like-minded people to discuss the issues that really matter! I hope to see some of you again next year! Download exciting_events_for_more_motivation.ppt
