I appreciate it. I like what you are doing there – journal writing can be a very effective way to reflect on and work out classroom practice issues, and blogging opens up personal reflection to shared feedback.

Cheers to you too!

Hi Darren,

Happy New Year!

I wasn’t sure if you’d receive my comment if I replied to yours from my blog, so here I am.

I’d like to thank you for your comment; I really appreciate your support. I haven’t decided yet, but I may also start posting about my experiences of doing a Master’s degree online, as I am about to start, although it will really depend on the time I have.

I also took a look at your blog today and think that your topics are quite interesting. I’ve already linked you to my blog and will be back to read more.

Cheers,
eisensei

Dear Darren,
I’ve come across your website by pure luck and I would like to thank you for sharing all these ideas with us. I have only recently set up my own blog and was wondering if I could add ‘the lives of teachers’ as a new link on it. Wishing you all the best
Helena

Thanks for the ideas, Darren. I’m just starting on Twitter, so haven’t got many contacts yet, and just getting the hang of it. Had a look at Alex Case’s site too

Hi Alan, nice to meet you. I’m finding it quite handy for the professional stuff …the Personal Learning Network (PLN) that people are talking about. I think the open source idea sounds good, and I guess you’d go with a wiki or a ning. But it’s all about the PEOPLE, the technology just facilitates the project….

Ask around on twitter and see who’s up for it? But there are a lot of people putting their stuff up on line these days (some of my materials are up on this blog as pdfs). Alex Case gives away shedloads of good stuff on his site, if you haven’t been over yet. Link in the sidebar (TEFLtastic).

Dear Darren,

Very nice website/blog, which I found from Ken Wilson’s, BTW. Look forward to reading more. (I’ve been in EFL – private sector – since 1990 and am now settled in Galicia, Spain. I also have mixed feelings about living ‘on the net’ like yourself, but looks like it might be more productive in my professional rather than private life.)

Have a pet idea to co-write/develop open-source coursebook-type material, by the way. Any thoughts? Any links?

Cheers,
Alan
