		<description><![CDATA[George Siemens&#8217; recent post on this topic was a thought provoking one. I am not a man who holds particularly firm convictions (if you were feeling uncharitable you might call me a flip-flopper, but I prefer to say I am open minded). I don&#8217;t think Siemens is suggesting that these questions should be locked away [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the first, a tousled woman peers out of a darkened room into the bright sunlight, martini glass in hand, sunglasses shielding her eyes from the glare, stocking hitched, a bored socialite drenched in ennui. Her children will populate the early Bret Easton Ellis novels of the 1980&#8242;s, deadened by money, neglect and sex. In the next [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About a week ago I wrote about an experiment in silence with a class, and promised to come back with a report on the students&#8217; reactions. It really was quite enlightening. This is what we all learnt. 1. A particular result may not mean what you think it means Looking back through the many comments [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two days after I first arrived in Japan, on my first day of a week-long training period, I was awarded the title sensei.

		<description><![CDATA[You may not be in such a slump as poor George Costanza, but why wait? The life of a teacher is characterized by peaks and troughs, by breakthroughs, epiphanies, bad days, difficult classes, critical incidents and culture bumps. But these things are GOOD things, because the worst thing that can possibly happen to a teacher is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A serious question on twitter this week, which I couldn&#8217;t answer in 140 characters. So, here is the full answer. Don&#8217;t you just love being pigeon-holed? I&#8217;m a gen Xer, who grew up on three kinds of video &#8211; game, nasty and pop. Before me, the baby boomers. And after? Generation Y &#8211; the millennials. Students [...]]]></description>
