Accessing higher order thinking skills …
The networked teacher
Personal Learning Networks?
Coming to terms with Twitter
‘What started as a few language teachers 'tweeting' about what they were doing has become well over 100 from around the world. It's quite hard to comprehend
having a virtual staffroom of that many people with good ideas and opinions. It has led to
teachers publicising articles on their blogs which ordinarily I wouldn't have seen, I find out about events
for professional development that I wouldn't have known about, and it has, without doubt put me into
contact with some very influential educationalists who have taken time to give me guidance and advice.
