Well, we’re all here at East Asia Regional Council of Overseas Schools EARCOS 2007 ETC: the EARCOS teachers' conference where 1,700 of us in Bangkok, Thailand. Teachers at international schools from all over Asia have gathered to be inspired, share our ideas, and network. With keynote speakers such as Ian Jukes, Jean-Francois Rischard, and Dr. Mechai Viravaidya
I’ve truly been inspired!
(That’s me on stage, introducing one of the speakers.)
There are some great teacher blogs out there that are written by international teachers. Check out Jeff Utecht's The Thinking Stick. He gave a fantastic presentation on how to get started with podcasts, which inspired me to get my kids to use podcasts for their upcoming poetry unit. Another one worth checking out is Doug Johnson's "The Blue Skunk Blog".
Hi Shamash!
So you´re back in bangkok, eh? Be sure to cheer to the Sex-and-the-city-shoes up there in the Sky ;-))
I do miss Bangkok, hangover-breakfasts there and a good chat over coffee with you.
By the way: Any impotant gossip from Y?
