Top Ten Books and Resources For Online Teachers. http://blog.wiziq.com/

As an online teacher, I am always developing professionally and seeking inspiration and know-how. Here is a list of books and resources for anyone aspiring to teach online, or for those already working online who want to continue learning from thought leaders in education. For the most part, I have found cutting-edge, self-published books written by peers in education to be more useful than traditional books. The main reason for this is that most traditional books are out-dated and cannot keep up with educational trends online. Some of the books I mention are also suitable for educators in traditional settings or who are engaged in blended learning programs.http://blog.wiziq.com/top-ten-books-and-resources-for-online-teachers/

Presenter discusses outcomes of 2 In-Service SOLE Trainings. Uzbekistan adopted an English training program designed to teach it at an earlier age, to set proficiency standards .New program demands new teachers. English is essential for any scholar, student and in an effort to better compete in the global economy. Conferences, seminars are held inEnglish, and not knowing it means secluding, limiting someone scholarly research, because the literature is all in English. In line with the new program, special subjects, particularly in technical andinternational specialties, are to be taught in English. There are no university preparing ESP, Business English teachers, training ICT skills in Uzbekistan.Universities’ best graduates with a major ”English” are usually selected, but young talents with proficient English fluency and accuracy can’t manage preparing relevant courses for target audiences. The #AmericanEnglish ‘Shaping the Way We Teach English’,‘Trace Effects’ Webinars,@TESOL trainings with the Certificate on Completion like “Designed for #BusinessEnglish”, executed by @iatefl_besig moderators, are the best teaching aids.Results are encouraging, now #evo trainers won Tesol, delivered virtual classes to convention, conduct developed ESP and BusinessEnglish classes at @AdobeConnect to SOLE team members.

The Importance of Being Obnoxious: Twitter's Evil Hashtag Habit.For all of Twitter's social innovation, the creation of the #hashtag may be its greatest misstep.Written by Michael Thomsen (@mike_thomsen)Every week Twitter provides us with some of the funniest responses to trending topics. And this week was no exception. Our seven-day round-up of the best hashtags has everything: from things sneakerheads say to hilarious nighttime thoughts. And for these tweeters, nothing is off limits. Check in here, for our weekly recap of the funniest hashtags.“ Hashtags force self-importance to express itself in the crudest of all possible forms, attaching woefully misplaced sentiments to literally coded #subjects sent to take advantage of other people's attention spans and gullibility”.

Technology has been a boy's club for most of its existence. Just another unfortunate repercussion of the patriarchy. But that's been slowly changing, and over the last decade we've seen a number of wonderful, intelligent, and cunning women make inspiring strides in the field of technology. Through web development, social media, space exploration, and video game design, we see the world of tech becoming a more equal playing field. Here are 40 women we admire doing work in the field of innovation. http://www.complex.com/tech/2013/03/the-40-hottest-women-in-tech/

Questions:1. In your classroom, do you utilize any global networks to collaborate with students/teachers from another country? If so, which networks (ePals, etc) do you use?2. If you do not use global networks, do you teach about global awareness in your classroom?3. Do you feel it is important to teach global awareness in the classroom (global citizenship, global technology, 21st century workforce skills)?4. What type(s) of technology do you use to teach/learn with in the classroom?5.Do you feel your school system provides the appropriate infrastructure for technology (i.e. Internet capabilities available in every school, computers)?If you teach in the UK and are willing to answer any of these questions - it would be most appreciated!

Переход школ на электронные журналы и учебники способствует оптимизации процесса обучения. Теперь дети гарантированно имеют при себе все необходимые книги, а родители оперативно получают информации о своем ребенке.«Я открываю журнал, отмечаю, что ребенка нет на уроке или что он получил двойку. И родителям сразу же приходит смс-ка», — рассказала учитель.

Why to learn in Webheads Virtual Office? Because I became a webmaster and can use our virtual room: WebHeads in Action weekly sessions.Read more on that here: Professional Development (PD) on a tight budget. It is no exaggeration that many institutions are currently forced to operate with tight budgets while at the same time making changes where curriculum framework is reshaped and a wide range of new technologies is integrated. Yet, institutions have to find ways to ensure ongoing learning and development of staff in order to meet the evolving needs of learners and other stakeholders. Often Professional Development (PD) expenditure on staff is the first area to be curtailed when there is a budget crunch. How do institutions continue to offer PD on a tight budget?http://lnkd.in/nHCrk5

WizIQ was quite a hit at the TESOL Dallas conventions as teachers were impressed by the fact that the virtual class was like a real class but with a huge difference. Many teachers are finding students in campus-based classes hard to manage since students are more interested in their cells and in socializing with their friends than in what the teachers have to say. I pointed out that one solution on how to get students engaged and motivated in what the teacher had to say was to give WizIQ live online classes because teachers have more control than in a physical classroom.
