bhrbahar @Marisa_C #eltchat hello eltchatters =) Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:01:05 +0000
Marisa_C @bhrbahar good evening Bahar #Eltchat Let's get started - what are some of the key skills we need to mention for ppl new to online CPD? Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:02:05 +0000
Noreen_Lam Yay! I'm here too--hi everyone! #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:02:13 +0000
SueAnnan I would say that the first Tech resource should be twitter. The CPD is second to none #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:02:20 +0000
Shaunwilden Evening all, was just talking to boss about our iatefl talk but here now #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:02:34 +0000
Marisa_C @Noreen_Lam Hello Noreen and welcome #Eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:02:38 +0000
vinnythediamond “@reasons4: Tomorrow on http://t.co/iZH7bTE6vV some teaching ideas for using these @storycubes in the classroom. #elt #eltchat” Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:02:55 +0000
Fprt_Assn RT @sharemylesson: Age-appropriate strategies via @ColorinColorado to teach vocabulary & reading to ELLs http://t.co/asdvuSU9 #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:03:16 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan second to none how? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:03:26 +0000
SueAnnan @Shaunwilden whenever I need help or ideas I use twitter and the help arrives in a matter of moments. Noone stands on ceremony #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:04:15 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan yes all points i agree with :-) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:04:50 +0000
Marisa_C So a Twitter account and connection to a PLN is a basic tool in our toolkit #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:05:10 +0000
Shaunwilden @Marisa_C Do the two things come together then? You join twitter you get a PLN? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:06:10 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C @Shaunwilden will try to follow from - uninstled Twitter app to have room for Iatefl app. Mobile Twitter not great. # eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:06:16 +0000
theteacherjames @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C Takes a lot of time and patience to develop your PLN, however you do it. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:07:01 +0000
SueAnnan Also, the camaraderie from something like #ELTchat is a way to spin off and build your own PLN #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:07:15 +0000
Marisa_C RT @Shaunwilden: @Marisa_C Do the two things come together then? You join twitter you get a PLN? #eltchat > Gd Q but no! Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:08:07 +0000

vickyloras RT @Shaunwilden: Tonight's #eltchat is Essential/key tech resources in a developing teacher’s toolbox–memberships, gadgets, training, equipment etc Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:08:25 +0000
Shaunwilden @Noreen_Lam Hi Noreen was this your topic? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:08:53 +0000
joannacre u obviously need to be good at acronyms. whats pln#eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:09:35 +0000
SueAnnan I don't think gadgets are a necessary thing though. A simple laptop will be able to handle almost anything these days #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:09:52 +0000
Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden Yup! Wanna pick all ur brains abt things to invest in for my CPD budget this yr...conferences haven't worked out! :( #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:10:41 +0000
Shaunwilden @joannacre its the abbreviation for personal learning network #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:11:07 +0000
Marisa_C @joannacre PLN = Personal Learning Network - ppl to connect with 4help & support in your CPD=continuous professional development #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:11:17 +0000

SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden an IATEFL membrship isn't very expensive, and you will have the benefit of all the online webinars/ confs #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:11:53 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C would agree. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:11:54 +0000
vickyloras RT @theteacherjames: @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C Takes a lot of time and patience to develop your PLN, however you do it. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:12:07 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan well you can join a lot of the webinars without being a member #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:12:34 +0000
joannacre @Marisa_Cthanx :) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:12:38 +0000
Marisa_C @SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden An IATEFL membership can be VERY expensive for some T salaries in some countries !!! #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:12:50 +0000
bhrbahar @SueAnnan #eltchat definitely agree. but sometimes u need to keep what u find in order not to search about it again. Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:13:00 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam and if we start to talk about webinars then almost all the publishing companies do them for free #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:13:12 +0000
theteacherjames RT @Shaunwilden: @SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam and if we start to talk about webinars then almost all the publishing companies do them for free #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:13:44 +0000
SueAnnan @Marisa_C @Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden Okay. POint taken, But I still think it is a valuable asset if you are spending CPD money #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:13:49 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C FB can also help eith a PLN. So can a Ning or logging into webinars or joing IATEFL. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:13:55 +0000
vickyloras RT @Shaunwilden: @SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam and if we start to talk about webinars then almost all the publishing companies do them for free #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:14:19 +0000
Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden @SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam Soooo many webinars out there that I can't keep up! :) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:14:35 +0000
Marisa_C @MarjorieRosenbe Thanks 4 mentioning all the key Social Networking sites Ts need to be around to find other like minded colleagues #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:14:46 +0000
SueAnnan But FB or twitter is a good way of learning what is available, and when #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:14:46 +0000
Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C Are nings still popular? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:14:46 +0000
Shaunwilden @Noreen_Lam @SueAnnan Yes the question is perhaps how to decide which webinars to attend #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:15:21 +0000
bhrbahar #eltchat it is good to be able to find what u need/want easily even if you cant afford it. Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:15:27 +0000
Noreen_Lam @marjorierosenbe What's a Ning? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:15:28 +0000
theteacherjames There are so many opportunities now for teachers, online & off, it is possible to have a decent toolbox without spending a fortune. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:15:28 +0000
Marisa_C RT @Shaunwilden: @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C Are nings still popular? #eltchat > some great Nings still around like @ddeubel 's ning #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:15:38 +0000
Shaunwilden RT @theteacherjames: There are so many opportunities now for teachers, online & off, it is possible to have a decent toolbox without spending a fortune. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:16:02 +0000
Marisa_C @Shaunwilden But creating a new Ning now costly - other free great options though #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:16:11 +0000
SueAnnan RT @theteacherjames: There are so many opportunities , online & off, it is possible without spending a fortune. #eltchat very true Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:16:15 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Shaunwilden @SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam So do we at BESIG and IATEFL is starting as well. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:16:15 +0000
Shaunwilden @Noreen_Lam @marjorierosenbe about ning http://t.co/vIxItYIhfw #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:16:51 +0000
theteacherjames @SueAnnan @Marisa_C @Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden IATEFL is pricy, but hopefully there should be a local organisation they can join. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:17:20 +0000
bhrbahar #eltchat even during the lesson, youtube gives Ts opportunity to find some good songs related to the subject you teach. Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:17:30 +0000
joannacre @Noreen_Lam @MarjorieRosenbe exactly : S Im lost today#eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:17:39 +0000
SueAnnan Even the free EVO sessions at the beginning of the year are worth doing. Fantastic stuff available and connection to webheads #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:17:53 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C @Shaunwilden True but bus E trainers can join the BaeSIG Ning for free. Actually anyone can. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:17:54 +0000
Marisa_C RT @SueAnnan: Even the free EVO sessions at the beginning of the year are worth doing. Fantastic stuff available and connection to webheads #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:18:04 +0000

Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden @Noreen_Lam @MarjorieRosenbe Thx Shaun! Man ur quick on the draw... ;) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:18:29 +0000
Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C So actually everything is free so the toolbox is very cheap :-) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:18:53 +0000
Marisa_C So a PLN a basic ingredient - what next? #ELtchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:19:41 +0000

vickyloras #ELtchat Reading / writing blogs Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:21:02 +0000
Noreen_Lam So besides IATEFL membership, any other pay resources that ppl recommend? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:21:25 +0000
Shaunwilden RT @vickyloras: #ELtchat Reading / writing blogs Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:21:40 +0000
SueAnnan Glogster or something similar and http://t.co/WjMCKM1wF9 #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:21:41 +0000
Marisa_C RT @vickyloras: #ELtchat Reading / writing blogs > Find some gd blogs and add them to a RSS Reader feed Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:21:59 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan how would glogster fit into the toolbox? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:22:05 +0000
theteacherjames Professional development can take many forms - it doesn't really matter what we do as long as we do something. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:22:29 +0000
Marisa_C @SueAnnan i find glogster always too clunky for me! Works for sm ppl tho #Eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:22:35 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C we use a Ning at BESIG. Very active before events & an active discussion forum. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:22:48 +0000
Shaunwilden @theteacherjames well when you say it doesnt matter, surely the first step is to identify what we need #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:23:02 +0000
SueAnnan @Shaunwilden It makes a great site for Learners to build posters about topics, themselves,and can incorporate other media #ELTChat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:23:10 +0000
theteacherjames I think blogs are a great part of a teacher's development. Even if you don't write one, you can read them! #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:23:36 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan doesnt pinterest do the same thing? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:23:44 +0000
vickyloras Here is a great list of ELT blogs by @aClilToClimb #ELTChat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:24:06 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C @SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam @Shaunwilden They can also look into wider membership scheme. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:24:11 +0000

Marisa_C @MarjorieRosenbe can you send the link pls #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:24:29 +0000
theteacherjames @Shaunwilden Sure, I was trying to make the point that some PD, whatever the form, is better than no PD. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:24:31 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan am not keen on either :-) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:24:46 +0000
SueAnnan @theteacherjames @Shaunwilden You are right, but having a starting point is helpful #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:25:22 +0000
Shaunwilden @theteacherjames agreed, my point was that with so much out there choice has to be made some how #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:25:35 +0000
madogomez #eltchat love for learning and a good amount of patience Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:25:54 +0000

Marisa_C So where is this conversation going now? Teaching tools or CPD tools? #ELtchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:39:43 +0000
theteacherjames @Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden @SueAnnan I think you also have to become very fussy. There are just too many things out there otherwise. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:39:48 +0000
Noreen_Lam @joannacre @theteacherjames Haha I also email sometimes & clean when I can, & flag too! #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:40:18 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Shaunwilden Depends on the groups. They are all different. I posted a question on FB and got six answers in a day. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:40:22 +0000
SueAnnan @theteacherjames @Noreen_Lam @shaunwilden I agree. I can skim quickly these days #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:40:24 +0000
Marisa_C @theteacherjames gd point - if you gave me the criteria everyone that would be my talk done for IATEFL :-) #ELTchat - can i crowdsource it? Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:40:39 +0000
Noreen_Lam @marisa_c Can I request CPD tools? :) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:40:57 +0000
Shaunwilden @theteacherjames So on what grounds are you fussy #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:41:11 +0000

Marisa_C @Shaunwilden @MarjorieRosenbe Some great discussions on Linkedin #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:42:58 +0000
SueAnnan @Shaunwilden I like some of the groups on Linked in. The conversations can be brilliant #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:43:15 +0000
Shaunwilden @SueAnnan @Marisa_C So should it be in the toolbox? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:43:47 +0000
theteacherjames @Marisa_C @Shaunwilden Well I would have said discerning or selective, but I didn't have enough characters! #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:43:54 +0000
SueAnnan @Shaunwilden not necessarily. It works for me :-) #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:44:36 +0000
Shaunwilden @theteacherjames thats not the answer we were looking for - so how do discern or select? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:44:36 +0000
theteacherjames @Marisa_C @Shaunwilden What I mean is you have to be good at deciding what is useful for you & what isn't, & be quite ruthless. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:44:44 +0000
Marisa_C @Shaunwilden @SueAnnan I think I would recomment LinkedIn for the discussions but also a good place for job contacts for Ts #ELtchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:45:16 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe @Marisa_C did you mean the Ning? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:45:38 +0000
theteacherjames @Marisa_C @Shaunwilden I think it takes time to develop your own filters, you have to prioritise what is relevant to you. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:45:38 +0000
Shaunwilden @theteacherjames @Marisa_C it was what M and I were talking about b4 #eltchat hence the asking? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:46:32 +0000
Noreen_Lam Ok so FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, maybe IATEFL & loads of webinars. Subscrip'ns to websites? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:46:54 +0000
theteacherjames @Marisa_C And yes, I'm happy to be part of the crowdsourced research! :-) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:46:56 +0000
Shaunwilden RT @Noreen_Lam: Ok so FB, Twitter, LinkedIn, maybe IATEFL & loads of webinars. Subscrip'ns to websites? #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:47:11 +0000
MarjorieRosenbe New teachers need to know where to get info- look into ways to get to conferences - scholarships etc #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:47:41 +0000
SueAnnan @Noreen_Lam Most of that is free. I pay for very little #ELTChat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:47:43 +0000
theteacherjames @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C I think you have to have a good understanding of what is truly relevant & useful to you, & what isn't. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:48:02 +0000
Marisa_C @Noreen_Lam EFL Classroom 2.0 a great ning community here is the link http://t.co/kBsxfqDfHu #ELtchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:48:17 +0000
theteacherjames @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C And how much time you are prepared to give to it. #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:48:23 +0000
Shaunwilden @Noreen_Lam well i guess if you talking subscriptions then we're in the world of online journals etc #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:48:58 +0000
SueAnnan @theteacherjames @Shaunwilden @Marisa_C personal situation and circumstances rule really #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:48:58 +0000
Marisa_C @theteacherjames true - like @Sueannan says it's easy not to stop and keep exploring all day #ELTchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:49:21 +0000
Noreen_Lam @marisa_c Oooh, looks intriguiing...and I see someone has posted Cdn content (Stompin' Tom!) so it's got my attn already! :D #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:50:09 +0000
theteacherjames @Marisa_C @Sueannan I think I could spend all day just reading blogs, let alone webinars, journals, books, podcasts... ;-) #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:50:36 +0000
SueAnnan @theteacherjames @Marisa_C Ditto #ELTChat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:51:08 +0000

Shaunwilden @Noreen_Lam well like anything depends on what your interests are - the 3 main ones would be ETP, MET and the ELTjournal I guess #eltchat Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:53:24 +0000
