I'm currenltly teaching in a French Fine Art School and over the last few years a number of my courses have got the students involved in the fiming, editing process. Your recent post on 'How to' struck a chord and I'm putting together a similar lesson based on the student's process in how they go about making their own artworks. Anyway, I was wondering if you could send me a copy/scan of the textbook unit in 'Face the Issues' that you mentioned, simply so that I can see how you used the text along with the youtube video. Many Thanks, Paul Berry Hello Mr Elliot,

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! I appreciate it.

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 Hi Darren,

Happy New Year!

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 :) Thanks for the ideas, Darren.

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). Darren Hi Alan, nice to meet you.

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 Dear Darren,
