| 207 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:01:55 | Let's see who is around today for #eltchat https://t.co/cOuh24hhSW |
| 206 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:02:32 | HI I'm here! #ELTchat |

| 204 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:03:07 | And here's our @Nurph channel - for those who don't want to type our hashtag all the time #eltchat https://t.co/hPMtG9uVCx |
| 203 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:03:25 | @rapple18 Hello Rachel! Welcome :) #eltchat |
| 202 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:06:04 | @angelos_bollas @Nurph just trying to fix his on a new browser... #ELTchat |
| 201 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:06:55 | Today's topic is Teacher Training for 21st Century Teachers, so the questions would be who the 21st Century Teachers are, right? #eltchat |
| 200 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:07:26 | @rapple18 @Nurph Try on Chrome #ELTchat I used it on Chrome and it works just fine :) Are you facing issues? |
| 199 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:08:55 | Hi @angelos_bollas and @rapple18 and all else! #ELTchat |
| 198 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:10:20 | Shall I be the heretic who admits he doesn't believe in such a thing as '21st Century Skills'? #ELTchat |
| 197 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:10:21 | Do you think a unique characteristic of 21st c Ts is the use of tech or the more complicated needs of SS? #eltchat https://t.co/5uCOXb7Hvw |
| 196 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:11:01 | Same here - Once I heard a great talk from @TeachingVillage about this #eltchat https://t.co/xXq046OMfZ |

| 192 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:13:00 | @angelos_bollas I think it's often taken to be. I think perhaps maintaining focus on what you're doing is more relevant to 21st C #ELTchat |
| 191 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:13:26 | @getgreatenglish How do you mean that, Marc? #eltchat |
| 190 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:13:41 | @rapple18 Loving it #eltchat |
| 189 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:13:42 | #eltchat well I'm still involved in paper wriing.. but have also done some dig stuff. - very different medium ... |
| 188 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:14:59 | #eltchat I've always thought I'd be fine with a stick and sandpit, without need of an IWB. It's abt approach - not about showing off tech |
| 187 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:16:04 | @rapple18 True - tech literacy can be achieved independently, not necessarily as part of TT - What about digital pedagogy? #ELTchat |
| 186 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:16:12 | #eltchat but as the cartoon illustrates, if we don't keep up, others will take over ... and sts expect it too That's a key issue #motivation |
| 185 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:16:27 | @angelos_bollas Learners often distracted by phones, social media (as are all of us). Less cognitively demanding than L2 focus. #ELTchat |

| 177 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:18:51 | @rapple18 Same here :) #eltchat |
| 176 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:19:32 | #ELTchat I also think tech overused for no reason too often. IWB is often just cheaper/better looking than flipcharts. |
| 175 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:20:10 | @getgreatenglish I have never used IWB - prefer a projector and my laptop #eltchat |
| 174 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:20:46 | .@angelos_bollas #eltchat yes + I think 1 way 2start with is to drop online/tech stuff into a standard LP (for those w/ min experience) |
| 173 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:21:19 | @angelos_bollas Imagine a giant iPad with bloated, semi-functional software. #ELTchat |

| 163 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:23:43 | @rapple18 Agree - That's the one think that helped me immensely #eltchat |
| 162 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:23:58 | #eltchat I had2use an IWB yrs ago at BritCo- no chalk. Great training, tho took long planning. DOES get easier (wish I hadnt forgotten!) |
| 161 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:24:14 | @getgreatenglish YLs enjoy it a lot though #eltchat |
| 160 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:24:52 | @angelos_bollas @rapple18 It is one of the mainstays. Knowing your options for reactive activities outside the plan is key. #ELTchat |
| 159 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:24:53 | Surely there's more to being a 21st century teacher than #edtech? :) #ELTchat |
| 158 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:25:00 | So, how are our needs different in the new century? WHat is that we expect from trainers? #eltchat |
| 157 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:25:42 | @MattEllman Very true - such as? #eltchat |
| 156 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:26:03 | The linguistic environment for students is different - so much easier to find exposure to English #ELTchat |
| 155 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:26:25 | Which for me reduces the need for authentic materials in class somewhat #ELTchat |
| 154 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:26:26 | @angelos_bollas YLs love novelty, it is true. Not necessarily tech. Lights and screens = not schoolwork. #ELTchat |
| 153 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:26:34 | That's an interesting point - Also English is different no Brit/Am any longer #eltchat https://t.co/JifkcZSCbV |
| 152 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:26:46 | #eltchat Lots more flex'ty / focus on individs to meet input needs but the HOW I LEARN best needs https://t.co/TkPa8L0Lb3 |
| 151 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:27:04 | @MattEllman I think authenticity has become different but still useful #eltchat |
| 150 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:27:25 | Yes, definitely still plays a part #ELTchat |
| 149 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:28:09 | @rapple18 Do you think this is because now we know better? Ts should always focus on individuals. Why now an important skill? #eltchat |

| 130 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:34:56 | @MattEllman There is an attempt to approach grammar differently with some publishers. Not quite there, yet #eltchat |

| 86 | TalkenEnglish | 2016-03-16T12:45:55 | @David__Boughton Sometime to teach english you need to teach skills like critical thinking. #eltchat |

| 73 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:49:20 | @angelos_bollas @MattEllman Disagree Angelos. Not every1 will teach online. teaching is the same: only class management different. #ELTchat |
| 72 | LauraSoracco | 2016-03-16T12:49:33 | Hello everyone #ELTChat - sorry to come in right at the end! It's early here in Seattle :( |
| 71 | David__Boughton | 2016-03-16T12:49:34 | @TalkenEnglish absolutely, but those are skills to learn English not just job skills. #eltchat |
| 70 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:49:34 | @SueAnnan Hello Sue mou! #eltchat |
| 69 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:49:38 | RT @MattEllman: @angelos_bollas Should include some YL teaching first! #ELTchat |
| 68 | StubbsCarrie | 2016-03-16T12:49:44 | @angelos_bollas Ah. Ok! I was worried. Thanks for the clarification. #eltchat |
| 67 | SueAnnan | 2016-03-16T12:49:55 | @angelos_bollas Hi Honey #eltchat |
| 66 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:50:18 | @getgreatenglish @MattEllman Sure - but if Ts are not introduced to online Ting how do they know whether they like it? #eltchat |

| 64 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:50:30 | #ELTchat an increasing no. of orgs are running online TTcourses 6wks PT: IH, BC, consultants e etc. All up for grabs. Am doing 1 in May-June |
| 63 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:50:44 | @LauraSoracco Good morning Laura! :) Welcome #eltchat |
| 62 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:50:54 | @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish You could say the same for YL teaching, Business English teaching, EAP teaching... #ELTchat |
| 61 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:51:24 | @angelos_bollas @MattEllman How do they know there's a feasible market for it in their territory? #ELTChat |
| 60 | SueAnnan | 2016-03-16T12:51:31 | is online T necessary in all contexts, though #eltchat |
| 59 | LauraSoracco | 2016-03-16T12:51:46 | @angelos_bollas Good morning! Love today's topic! Have you all talked about digital literacy as a 21 century skill? #ELTChat |
| 58 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:51:59 | @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish @MattEllman #eltchat not always a Q of "like" ... |
| 57 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:52:03 | @MattEllman @getgreatenglish You're right #eltchat |
| 56 | LauraSoracco | 2016-03-16T12:52:25 | @SueAnnan hello! #ELTChat |
| 55 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:52:33 | @getgreatenglish @MattEllman I thought it could give them a hands-on idea - Maybe not #eltchat |
| 54 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:52:41 | @MattEllman @angelos_bollas I think the YL extension used to make sense. Bus Eng should be an extension. Online should be, too. #ELTChat |

| 51 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:52:45 | @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish There's a limit to what you can cover on a 4-week CELTA #ELTchat |
| 50 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:53:31 | @getgreatenglish @MattEllman YL ext has been discontinued #eltchat |
| 49 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:53:42 | @getgreatenglish @angelos_bollas Agreed. The YL extension is disappearing though! #ELTchat |
| 48 | SueAnnan | 2016-03-16T12:53:45 | @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas Besig has a great panel discussion on 1st April about BE teaching #eltchat |
| 47 | TalkenEnglish | 2016-03-16T12:53:49 | @MattEllman @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish Challenge of CELTA is has to be applicable for manyTs in many different situations #eltchat |

| 44 | EnglishMyWayUK | 2016-03-16T12:54:17 | Should these not be part of on-going CPD? As @MattEllman says - 4 weeks can only cover the basics! #ELTchat |
| 43 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:54:35 | @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas #eltchat not sure I agree. U can choose if you do BE or YL in some places... I'd HATE to do YL! |

| 40 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:55:17 | @SueAnnan @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas can you send me the link, Sue? Thx :) #eltchat ( tho Imust have it somewhere... |
| 39 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:55:19 | @EnglishMyWayUK Agreed! :) #ELTchat |
| 38 | SueAnnan | 2016-03-16T12:55:26 | @getgreatenglish @TalkenEnglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas abslutely. It is the Buzz word of the moment #eltchat |
| 37 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:55:41 | @rapple18 @MattEllman @angelos_bollas I can't get the stamina to do too much YL. #ELTchat |
| 36 | SueAnnan | 2016-03-16T12:55:48 | @rapple18 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman @angelos_bollas will do #eltchat |
| 35 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:55:53 | @rapple18 @getgreatenglish @MattEllman Me too, back then but I have been asked to train YL Ts and am clueless :( #eltchat |
| 34 | EnglishMyWayUK | 2016-03-16T12:56:17 | Been observing lots of inexperienced teachers recently - differentiation would improve their learners' experience exponentially! #ELTchat |
| 33 | LauraSoracco | 2016-03-16T12:56:30 | @MattEllman teacher training about incorporating 21C skills, eg- CT & ability to summarize. 21C skills applied 2 how we get info. #ELTChat |
| 32 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:56:40 | @EnglishMyWayUK And their own classroom experience, too #eltchat |
| 31 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:57:11 | @LauraSoracco @MattEllman How we get info very important indeed - and sth about Online safety, perhaps? #eltchat |
| 30 | TalkenEnglish | 2016-03-16T12:57:15 | @EnglishMyWayUK @MattEllman I used the CELTA as a way to get firm basics to start teaching. I thought it very useful in that way. #eltchat |
| 29 | ddeubel | 2016-03-16T12:57:21 | RT @getgreatenglish: #ELTchat A key 21st Century skill. Extensive reading & listening while filtering stupid/boring content. |
| 28 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:57:43 | @angelos_bollas @getgreatenglish @MattEllman #eltchat well I've done that.. (TT YL) (tho ages ago) - MUCH easier than with kids around(!) |
| 27 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:57:54 | @TalkenEnglish @EnglishMyWayUK @MattEllman I did it after 8 years of teaching - Best course ever! #eltchat |
| 26 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T12:57:58 | @angelos_bollas @LauraSoracco But in terms of a CELTA, say - how does a 21stC course look different to a 20thc one? #ELTchat |
| 25 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T12:58:11 | @LauraSoracco @MattEllman Is this really a 21st Century skill or just a general literacy skill. I personally see it as the latter. #eltchat |
| 24 | LauraSoracco | 2016-03-16T12:58:36 | @angelos_bollas @MattEllman also how 2 summ, apply CT 2 content found. We assume Ss are digital natives & can navigate w/o guidance #ELTChat |
| 23 | SueAnnan | 2016-03-16T12:58:45 | @MattEllman @angelos_bollas @LauraSoracco I think technology has moved on, so access to CPD is important #eltchat |
| 22 | StubbsCarrie | 2016-03-16T12:58:48 | @EnglishMyWayUK Doing the CELTA can be overwhelming. Differentiation might be too much for an inexperienced T to take on #eltchat |
| 21 | TalkenEnglish | 2016-03-16T12:58:56 | RT @getgreatenglish: @LauraSoracco @MattEllman Is this really a 21st Century skill or just a general literacy skill. I personally see it as… |
| 20 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T12:59:02 | @MattEllman @LauraSoracco Less on outdated methods, etc and more about current needs of learners (ones discussed before) #eltchat |
| 19 | LauraSoracco | 2016-03-16T12:59:22 | To all CELTA folks.... an interesting Q #ELTChat https://t.co/JQEH1cofNh |
| 18 | SueAnnan | 2016-03-16T12:59:24 | Would someone like to volunteer for the summary writing please? #eltchat |
| 17 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T12:59:36 | @angelos_bollas @LauraSoracco @MattEllman "Online safety" - a topic for another week? V important... #eltchat |

| 12 | EnglishMyWayUK | 2016-03-16T13:00:22 | @StubbsCarrie needs to be introduced early through emphasising learner-centred methods. #ELTchat |
| 11 | angelos_bollas | 2016-03-16T13:01:07 | It's time to end, unfortunately - That was a great #ELTchat - who wants to write it up? |
| 10 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T13:01:09 | @LauraSoracco @angelos_bollas @MattEllman Crit thinking not invented for 21C. Always been necessary. Think 'the man' wants less. #ELTChat |

| 7 | rapple18 | 2016-03-16T13:02:07 | @angelos_bollas Indeed.. and a topic that'll keep coming around! Thanks all! #ELTchat |

| 4 | MattEllman | 2016-03-16T13:02:44 | @LauraSoracco @getgreatenglish Agreed, but what's the role of literacy in teacher training? #ELTchat |
| 3 | LauraSoracco | 2016-03-16T13:02:53 | @getgreatenglish @angelos_bollas @MattEllman Very true -but it's just putting emphasis on an aspect of learning that is more imp #ELTChat |
| 2 | getgreatenglish | 2016-03-16T13:03:06 | @LauraSoracco @MattEllman Sure, but it's merely text navigation and genre convention. #eltchat |
