@geraldineteach3 Thank you and well done Geraldine! If anybody is interested in signing up for DELTA Module 1 or Module 3 courses, the March-December 2024 ones start soon! sandymillin.wordpress.com/takeyourtimede…

Here's a blog post about my Delta module 1 experience. geraldineubeda.wordpress.com/2024/02/20/the…

@wordpressdotcom Then I click embed (Step 2) and this is displayed Exactly the same happens if I use the /slideshare block - it turns it into a paragraph block. Never had this problem before :(

@wordpressdotcom Yes, that's the right site. Unfortunately that doesn't work. Step 1 of what I do...

@SlideShare and @wordpressdotcom - every time I paste a link into a Slideshare block in Wordpress, it converts it to a paragraph block. No way to convert it back, no way to show slides. Can you #help me? Never had this problem before! For example: sandymillin.wordpress.com/2024/01/19/gir…

@tlnwilkinson Hi Tara. This looks like a great activity! Is it one you came up with yourself? I'm trying to find the source for it :) Thank you!

@Oli_Hijacks @hughdellar @EltGraham I've never been an official examiner I'm afraid

@hughdellar @sandymillin @EltGraham Thanks anyway Hugh, I'll figure it out. I guess I'm accurate enough.

I've finally decided to delete all of my Twitter apps and shortcuts. Not the account, yet, but maybe... Twitter has had a huge influence on me professionally and I've made many friends through it, but it's time to let it go now, I think.

Now recruiting for Cambridge DELTA Module 1 and Module 3 (ELT-Specialism and ELT-Management) - starting in September, ready for June 2024 exam/submission. Find out more and apply: sandymillin.wordpress.com/takeyourtimede…

Any leader should take 5 minutes to watch this and find out why traditional time management strategies might not be suitable for much of their workforce and why staff retention, wellbeing, and productivity can be increased by understanding #WomensHealth

@Emmita_J True, though you wouldn't be the person you are today if you hadn't had those experiences!

Teachers, why not apply for IH Bydgoszcz, where you'll get a lot of CPD and support? CELTA trainers, please can you share this advert with your trainees? ihteachenglish.com/job/efl-teache…

Lots of shiny new testimonials for my Take Your Time Delta Module 1 and 3 courses are now on my blog, including this one from Jo. She passed Module 1 in December, and is now completing Module 3 with me. sandymillin.wordpress.com/takeyourtimede…

Thanks for brining back the Meetings tab @Zoom!

New on my blog: I've just presented on 'Creating materials that flow' for the BrazTESOL MaWSIG Pre-Conference event. The slides and my breakdown of them are available here: sandymillin.wordpress.com/2023/07/13/bra…

@Ven_VVE @SeanHutchman Quizlet, and I've been paying for it for years

@SeanHutchman So I assume GPT 4 is noticeably better than 3 for course materials?

Hi PLN, is there a digital tool/resource which you find useful enough to have a paid subscription? What is it & why do you find it useful, if you don't mind sharing? I've been thinking abt a recent convo abt all the stuff out there for free and am curious. Thanks!

I'm running a short online course on classroom games for EFL teachers in September - for more information follow the link: teachinggamesefl.com/2023/07/13/tea…

My next cohort of Take Your Time Cambridge Delta Module 1 and Module 3 courses (including the management option) start in September, with courses running over nine months ready to sit the exam / submit the assignment in June 2024. Find out more at sandymillin.wordpress.com/takeyourtimede…

@joannaesl @Zoom @Zoom seem to have updated the app in a way that doesn't make things easier :( 90% of my meetings are recurring ones but not at fixed times, so the schedule function doesn't work. All the links I have still work, but they don't show in the app, only the website.

Anyone else has a problem with @Zoom recurring meetings? I opened the desktop app and all of them disappeared.🫥 They exist on the Zoom website...hmm...🤔What's going on?

8 hours from when I'm writing this, I'll be a guest on Volkan INER's Instagram channel, instagram.com/creativeenglis…. He'll be interviewing me about a range of different topics, including teaching speaking and staying updated as a teacher. See you there!

Here's a sketchnote from #IATEFL22. @EltPaula did a fantastic but squirm inducing session on the #diversity of #ESOL departments. Spoiler alert: They're not very diverse! How can we provide diverse role models for our learners? #Equity #TESOL #ESOLChat #TESOL #IATEFL #DEI
