I have finally settled somewhere and (fingers crossed) after Wednesday I'll have a good home internet connection. I'm now based in Manchester, where I am studying full-time on an MA Educational Technology and TESOL course. I arrived last week and have met the tutors and the other course members who are from various countries around the world and everything is new and exciting at the moment. I am currently thinking about which course units I should choose - everything looks so interesting! I also have a lot of reading to do and I need to get my head around the university blackboard system, which is complex but looks incredibly helpful if we can figure out how to use it well. Hopefully, this course will be as good as it looks on paper, I'll be capable of organising myself properly and that I'll get some inspiration to write some decent blog posts.
I've spent so much of this summer working or moving around (I did fortunately get a short break!) as well as being without an internet connection that I have felt very disconnected from all things internet. I noticed the other day that there's a new ELT discussion group on twitter, hopefully once my home web connection is set up I'll have some time to join in.
Right, well that's a sort of brief interim blog post to get this thing going again!

Hello everyone and happy new (Gregorian calendar) year. Happy Chinese new year too! It's been a while since I've posted anything here so I just thought I'd let people know that I am alive and well, but have been trying to take some time out...

Here's a quick note to anyone who's following me, while I get the chance. I'm currently in the final week of summer school for this year and it's been pretty hectic - as always - so no time for blogging and stuff. I've also not even...
- Give Me More Twitter!
Throughout my Easter break and just after, I felt like I'd had enough of twitter. After barely accessing it for a couple of weeks I decided to get back in and be more sociable. I had a great holiday though! Here I am on a beach in Huelva. As a result...

Last weekend I completed the two-week 'Blogs' course offered by the consultants-e. I was motivated to do the course mainly in order to get some guidance and receive a final push towards using blogs myself, so having finished that, I am starting....
