@samirashackle Was really moved to hear Michael’s story on the Today In Focus podcast, especially re: his current situation. As a Cov local, is there anything my friends and I in the city can do to help - financially, politically, etc.? Please let us know.

@LaetitiaM19 thanks for watching and for the lovely feedback! 💫

😭😭😭

@PaulaWerdu thanks so much for watching and engaging, Paula! let me know how you get on 💫

Amazing Q&A session by @sanchiadanielle following her very informative talk at #BALEAP2021. I am inspired to try all the activities she suggested!

@SusieCowley @elt9052 Absolutely! @elt9052 I’ll either send it to you on Teams or find a way to deliver it as a live CPD session if I can :)

@SusieCowley ahhh thanks Susie! sorry I’ve only just seen this - I appreciate the support so much 😊💫

@seburnt so sorry to hear this 🧡

@blogdecristina @cecilianobreelt Great - I’ve DMed you! 😊

@sanchiadanielle @cecilianobreelt Sure. This week is hectic for me but next week I will be on holidays and we can set up a meeting.

do i know any spanish-speaking teacher trainers who’d be willing to donate 2-3 hours pw of their time on a volunteer basis? i have a small group of educators based in ecuador 🇪🇨 (time zone = CDT) in real need of help with the move to online teaching. DM me for more details! 🙏🏽

@blogdecristina @cecilianobreelt Thanks so much for reaching out, Cristina! Could we maybe set up a Zoom call to talk more about what you’re able to contribute? If so, DM me with your availability this week or next and we can get something in the diary. Excited to move forward with this! ✨

@sanchiadanielle @cecilianobreelt I am a Spanish native speaker and teacher trainer helping teachers introduce technology in their classes. Perhaps I can help with a session as I don't have much time.

In case you didn’t know, E & SE Asians in the UK have also faced a massive increase in hate crimes in the last year 🙃 This isn’t just a North American thing 🙃

like a chump, i was bracing myself for a met pr offensive, but those are the old days. now it's just straight up political repression every single time.
