The ELT Buzz Digest
All the "buzz" in English language teaching. Sept. 30th.
Dear ELTers,
This week’s “buzz” below.
My tip this week is the good news that Audrey Waters is back being the “Cassandra” of ed-tech. We’ve missed her absence as she dealt with personal life and more … I’ve always been hungry to introduce her ideas and mind to more teachers/readers. Also, please see this reference list (thank you Charles Logan), all about AI and energy use and waste. It’s an important list and topic for us all. I spent decades teaching kids and the one thing I think was so important was the core message of respecting our environment, being energy conscious and doing what we can for mother earth. Yet, with AI, we seem to just be throwing all these decades of work, out the window.
Carry on everyone … Lots of great stories and info. below.
