Goals for 23 Things

My main goal I have for this PD is learning about ICT language tasks for use in the classroom - ones already tried and tested and obtaining resources especially sites and links which are useful in lower school.

Its all good and well when you have a new idea (esp ICT) and you want to get it started but I find I spend FAR TOO MUCH TIME trying to find the right text or website. I work a lot and have recently said (in my seventh year of teaching at my school) enough is enough, I have a life and a young family and I will not put my work above my family any more. I could spend all weekend (and I did) searching for resources online and quite often coming up with nothing that I was happy with.

So I am hoping this PD will not only help me with ideas, resources, tasks and texts (or links to info) but also give me the on-going motivation to keep on with what I do want to do. I am also hoping this PD will be a resource sharing vehicle for ICT tasks which are valid and workable.

I will be working on my 23 Things PD "homework" on the weekends. This is the only time I have free to do "extra things" on top of my already horrendous workload (which Im sure all language teachers have).
