One of the books that made the biggest impression on me last year was Evgeny Morozov’s To Save Everything, Click Here: Technology, Solutionism and the Urge to Fix Problems that Don’t Exist. In it, he describes the rise of tech companies into all-pervasive areas of life, their inherent solutionism, and the threats this process poses to society...Read More

So, yes, school recess is certainly a time of a certain relief and a bit of goofing off. However, after reenergizing a bit, meeting friends and family, taking care of...Read More

The challenge of developing learner autonomy

17 de novembro de 2014

by Vivian Magalhães

Robin MacClure starts her article “Unnecessary Parents” by saying that “the ultimate job of parents is to raise kids in a way so that they are not needed. In other words, parents should work themselves out of a job.” Well, I think that also applies to teachers, and especially to language teachers. Our goal should...Read More

Spaces for Learning: Agile Learning Spaces

28 de outubro de 2014

by Carla Arena

For the past year I’ve been interested and have intensely studied, researched and explored the Maker Movement. First, just out of curiosity as I was being fed through my Twitter stream (remember I mentioned in other posts how Twitter is still my number one source of inspiration and daily doses of professional development?).

I was recently asked about the most innovative educational resource I have found online. After giving it some thought, I could only think of one website, GOOGLE DRIVE.

Trocando o canal: usando o Youtube para melhorar o inglês

13 de outubro de 2014

by Fabiano Silveira

Olá a todos! Com certeza não são apenas os meus alunos que adoram ficar no Youtube assistindo a vídeos de bichinhos, piadas, cantores de chuveiro, pegadinhas e desafios do ice bucket. Parece que essa meninada está trocando a TV pela internet mesmo, passando altas horas em serviços de vídeo por streaming, procurando e assistindo a...Read More

Video Lessons Made Easier

17 de setembro de 2014

by Vivian Magalhães

In my book Teacher Tools, I open the chapter “Movie Time” with an email I received from a teacher who said that not only him, but “thousands of workmates don’t have time to prepare materials or to follow the recipes that many authors of books and/or presenters of workshops give us.” I go on to...Read More
