The ELT Buzz Digest
All the "buzz" this week in education, Ed-tech and English language teaching.
Dear Teachers,
Here is this week’s digest. Enjoy, hope you find something that “hits home”.
And that is what it is all about - PD/CPD, our own development as a teacher. Discovering and making sense of the “so much” out there and what works for you, feels good in your gut. Yes, yes, research matters but again - empirical evidence in education is scarce. Learning is messy, situational, transactional. Conclusions are temporary. Hard to fit into a bottle.
Keep reading, thinking, viewing, discussing and teaching “with your heart” - that I assure you, will win the day. Oh almost forgot - my “reading tip” this week. Well, with all the chatter about the OpenAI “guide” for educators - read TechCrunch’s article and decide for yourself if it is the future or just (as I believe) a document for sales teams. Also, see the article about it below.
Happy teaching and learning
