I posted about Glogster in Feb 2010 when I first came into contact with this wonderful tool. Since then I have slowly but steadily created Glogsters for my trainees on University of Cambridge CELTA and YL Extension to CELTA courses and the response has been very positive. Glogster is now turning entirely to education so they're asking users to migrate their accounts to the new Glogster EDU. I had a quick look at the features and it's definitely safer as it'll be more secure, private and tailored for students and educators.
SO... if you don't have a Glogster account, get one now. It's free for educators and it's an absolutely fantastic tool. I like it because whenever preparing a Glogster, it helps me re-elaborate the information I want trainees/teachers to see in a a different, more involving, interesting way. I really enjoy it and believe it provides a good opportunity to give our students input in a variety of ways!

This blog started with my learning journey on the fantastic course offered by TheConsultants-e.com on teaching languages with technology (CertICT) and validated by Trinity College London which I took in 2008. It is about me as a professional doing what I love most - teaching, training and of course learning and integrating technology into teaching!

New look!
It'd been almost 2 years since I started blogging and it's wonderful to see how many more options there are now to make your blog look really cool. It was about time too for me to give mine a new look so here it is! The new/added features are more user friendly too. Well done to Blogger!!
My favourite new feature is under the design tab - the template designer and all the customising options available.
If you're new to blogging, why not have a look and play around with the different tabs? A blog is a reat way to keep learning!
