Assignments

Dear all,
thank you for getting your assigments in ... I'll mark them this weekend/next week and give feedback within 7 days. I'd be happy to give feedback in person/on the phone as well as written.
I'm not quite sure if you want access to the blog now. It seems a shame to close it, but you'll be moving on soon to the next module. Let me know what you want me to do with it.
I have another blog you might be intetested in:
http://technologycele.blogspot.com/

This blog doesn't have much text (one paragraph per entry) but has links to technology I like. Many of the links would be useful for you in your work. It is easy to use and requires no sign up. Tell your colleagues about it if you like.

en vacances

see you soon!

Thanks Alex:) Wishing you a fab time!

France and assignments

Dear all,
France beckons ... I lived there for almost 15 years ... I began my teaching career more-or-less in earnest there (after a wonderfully surreal but nevertheless false start working for the Ferrari formula one team in Italy). ... virtually all my friends are there... my house and home. So, I'm looking forward to it!
I won't be looking at assignments until NEXT Thursday. If I look in my inbox next Thursday and you have all submitted by then ... I shall be happy. The official deadline is this Friday, I hope you can read between the lines :-)
See you soon and hopefully we can have an enjoyable social evening ...
Alex

PS It has been a real pleasure teaching you and I've enjoyed all the contact and communication I've had with you. You've been a really nice and stimulating group of people to teach.

Hi All

Hope you're all doing OK and enjoying! Maybe after the w/e hey!

Thanks for your input Alex:), and as Julia put it.

From the Chinese Ninja

Dear All,

I hope everyone is coping! I would just like to quickly say that I hope you all stay in touch after we finish this module, as I htink we have started to think of some good ideas tha we should try and follow up. I am working a lot on WebCT development, and the creation of the aforementioned 'pathways' for out of class work, and it would be great to hear from anyone who is interested or doing something similar. I decided to write on the value of corpora in EAP in the end, and this has been really interesting too. This is one of many ways that we can incorporate technology into our teaching that seems to have a clear benefit with regard to promoting autonomy (anyone who wants to put themselves through reading my essay at some point can do!!).

Bye for now, and have a great holiday Alex...and thanks for some really interesting insights. I will certainly continue to explore these avenues in my teaching, but I might save the PhD for a while!

Phil.

All the best
