I’ve been thinking about being a lifelong learner for a while. Attending ISTEK ELT in March and IATEFL in April reminded me that teachers are learners too or I think teachers should be learners too. One of the challenges of a 21st century teacher is integrating technology into the lessons. Well, technology is a scary…
This is my last post from the conference. It was great to be here. I enjoyed the every bit of the conference. I’m tired and sleepless but I know it is worth it. After blogging and twitter, many things changed in my life. I sleep less, I watch television less but I still can manage….
Day 2 is over. After a wonderful Pecha Kucha event hosted by Jeremy Harmer, I almost forgot my tiredness, sleeplessness ( my biologic rhythm, unfortunately, hasn’t realised yet that I’m in Brighton and I keep waking up exactly at the same time I have to get up at home)Last year I watched the PK live…
And the real event started on Saturday. It is already Sunday today but I’ll be able to post this in the morning. I had a fantastic day at the conference, not because I met some of my twitter friends for the first time and hugged and kissed each other as if we had known…
I’m in my hotel room in Brighton now and thinking about the day. I attended Learning Technologies pre-conference event. The talks were on IWB. We started the day with Connie Gutenberg’s brief introduction. She demonstrated how she used it with her class. The texts she chose for the session were amazing. I really loved the…

The conference sounded very promising and it was a great opportunity for the teachers who can’t go to conferences very often as it would also be live broadcasted. ELT VIPs, enthusiastic…
Life is too hectic these days and also I have many things to plan and arrange. Since the day I learned I’ll be attending IATEFL this year, I’ve been very excited. IATEFL has been a dream for me and I remember I wrote it in one of my posts last year. Well, when I…

And only 2 days to go to Istek Schools International ELT Conference2011. I remember last year. It was such a big excitement to wait for the event. I met most of my PLN there and had the chance to chat and enjoy every break. It was not just a conference. I had great fun…
Since Sunday I’ve been reading posts about my friends’ blogs. I couldn’t attend any of the Virtual Round Table sessions but I tried to catch something. Dave Dodgson in his presentation challenged us to make a word cloud from our blogs. Today I couldn’t resist the challenge and created my blog’s poster. As…
