Can all publishers please remove their paywall for scientific articles related to teaching victims of trauma and displacement, thank you

@m_stevens0 @Team_English1 Take a picture of a printed text with your phone, open it in Google photos and click on "copy text" and then "copy to computer". This sends the text (not the picture!) to your computer clipboard and you can paste it in your doc/slide and edit as needed. Usually very accurate

It has come to my attention that a lot of teachers at my school don’t know how to use snipping tool, so I’m compiling some tips. What are your best IT hacks for teaching? @Team_English1

CPD webinars alert! Next week, @ADerecskei will discuss strategies to help our adult students stuck in the intermediate plateau. The week after that, YL expert Angela will look at how to teach young learners 1-1 in an online setting. More info below! my.demio.com/ref/XsLPs2rXpS…

@RobbioDobbio I don't know how I feel about it but I've heard that on Messenger now you can create "rooms" with 50 people and no time limits, and people join with a link so they don't need a Facebook account or app. It sounds like it ticks all the boxes, but would need to look into privacy...

Teachers. We need a free platform so that students who are self isolating can join face-to-face classes. Needs to have no time limit and screen sharing capabilities. Which one would be best?

Using Jamboards to co-mediate syllabus - nice one @melody_philip! #iELT20

Can't wait to try getting my ss to mute themselves on Zoom for a good old pron drill - thanks @MarkWordSmith! Just realised there's a whole bunch of things I need to play around with - private chat, ss taking headphones off for info gaps... disappearing txts on GDocs?! #IELT20

Having a great time at #IELT20! The format works surprisingly well. Useful groupwork, I can attend sessions inbetween my online classes and even the "garden" was fun. Only downside was having to run up and down 6 flights of stairs for Amazon delivery in the middle of a talk 😅

¿Por qué no te callas?

🟣 Are you a teacher of English, Spanish &/or Catalan who works in the #Barcelona area? 💜 Help us to better understand the current situation for #teachers 🟪 Take 5-mins to participate in our anonymous survey about working conditions under #CONVID19 forms.gle/erLCRhVi7uhF6m…

@neil_mcm Yeah no totally agree with your point in general, just saying 😉

@AliceCopello No, sorry 😐 that is an unfair insinuation. I just wanted to defend Spain from some of the criticism it’s getting

Hard to argue with any of this. I’d only say I’m glad the PP (conservatives) are not in power, it’d be even worse. They’re the ones that’ve severely weakened the health service. theguardian.com/world/2020/mar…

@neil_mcm let's not put Italy in the same bag as the UK and the US 😧

It's also worth pointing out that Spain has reacted earlier and more strictly than Italy, the USA and the UK relative to the number of deaths at the beginning.

This is Dan. Dan works from home, washes his hands and climbs mountains where there are no people. Dan is smart. Be more like Dan. #HappyFriday

@myles_klynhout @SLBCoop I don't know, it's a mystery!

@AliceCopello @SLBCoop A real pic to prompt a real convo! #NoFilters. Wait... does that say 'murder' in the corner?

Ideas from @AliceCopello on exploiting real pictures in class to teach narrative tenses. Selfie included. #ELT freeed.com/articles/959/e…

@theboysoddsocks thanks for tweeting about today, glad your enjoyed it! 😊

@ADerecskei @SLBCoop @designerlessons @ExamsCatalunya Yours rocked too! I definitely need to play more games in class. So many ideas, thank you so much.

@SLBCoop @designerlessons @AliceCopello @ExamsCatalunya I went to @AliceCopello ‘s workshop, too, it was really enjoyable and informative! I loved that it was useful for novice teachers as well as more experienced ones! #ExamsCatalunya #ELTBCN2019

Good luck to our socias @ADerecskei and @AliceCopello presenting today at the @ExamsCatalunya conference! #ELTBCN
