We're better when we work together
Toward the end of May, I published a post highlighting guest posts readers might have missed in March, April, and May. I received a number of messages thanking me for the summaries, so I’m going to write another. Since the end of May there have been quite a few posts, mostly by guest authors, so [...]

Last year, I had my first ever “Tweet Up” at the JALT Conference in Shizuoka. For those not familiar with Twitter, a Tweet Up is when people who know each other through Twitter have a chance to meet face-to-face.

I had planned on taking a bit of a break from creating quizzes based on blogs by members of my Personal Learning Network. Then Anne Hodgson (one of the members of said PLN) sent me a message on Twitter, telling me about an upcoming event in Germany—ELTAS Tech Tools Day. Now, I would do just [...]
