Nings are a great idea but sadly they are now not  free - but there are alternatives to nings #ELTchat e.g. grou.ps

11:31 PM

@MarjorieRosenbe @shaznosel can you ask them to present a topic back using media - have them curate? #ELTchat

@shaznosel Would be interesting to explore relationship between good teaching and spoiling. #eltchat

A good idea to brainstorm areas where you feel you need to get better and work on one goal each month - e.g. reducing teacher talk #eltchat

rosemerebard

11:35 PM

@vmorgana @naomishema #eltchat I also like to take pictures of what students produce, so I can have another look and reflect.

Why does it take so much effort to keep up with tech tools as it seems 2 be the only way to develop nowadays?#eltchat

@MarjorieRosenbe a ning or similar good for small group formation - the educator's pln also free or  EFL 2.0 also open  #eltchat

MarjorieRosenbe

11:37 PM

@shaznosel Not sure about it being their learning styles. Seems to be the consumer society. #eltchat

11:37 PM

@toulasklavou Not the only way, I guess. The problem is that it's made it easier for us to connect with like-minded people. #ELTChat

@Marisa_C True but not always easy to brainstorm with other when there is no staffroom etc.#eltchat
