The ELT Buzz Digest
September 02. All the "buzz" in English language education
Dear ELTers,
I hope everyone is having a good start to courses, the school year and September, wherever this may find you.
First off, find the digest below - stellar stuff this week! Take a look, lots for all interests.
Secondly, it is for me, that time of year. Asking for support, in any fashion. Subscription to the lesson library, a like on YouTube, a purchase on TpTs, etc … Appreciated! Keep up the good fight. See the ELT Buzz Brochure here - with links to all we offer.
Lastly, my reading tip. For sure, this week, this Tech Policy article highlighting the untoward aspirations and designed of Ed-Tech. A good read. Also, this piece, one woman’s experience with venture capitalists, developers, investors in AI.
Hoping you are doing well wherever you are.
Best,
David - ELT Buzzer-In-Chief
