Teacher Training Videos March 2011 by Russell Stannard

Hi folks
It is going to be a busy month. I have trips to Swtizerland, Italy, Turkey and of course IATEFL Brighton. So if you are going to attend any of my talks, please come up and say hello.
a) For All teachers
http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/march2011/index.html
This set of videos has 10 great websites and includes some real gems. It includes a tool for showing your screen to anyone else in the world who is sitting on a computer with an internet connection and a really easy tool for downloading videos from youTube. Some of these sites are only for ELT teachers but many of them can be used by ANY teachers.
b) For ALL language teachers

The amazing Word Magnets is back. It is now downloadeable which means once you have it on your computer you won't need an internet connection. This tool is AMAZING and is great for any language teachers.

The amazing Bubblr and Bookr. You can make books and cartoon strips using the millions of pictures from Flickr. These are both amazing tools and can be used in so many ways. Watch the videos and I think you will really like these tools. What I like is the quality of the results and the millions of pictures that students can work with.

c) For all ELT/ESL teachers
http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/elllo/index.html
ELLLO is the biggest listening site of content for ELT/ESL that I have found on the internet. You won't believe the amount of content there is here and it includes listening, videos, quizzes, tests, downloadable files etc. It is huge and the videos take you through all the important stuff.

Blog of the month
If you don't read Nik Peachey's blogs then please do. Nik finds loads of great material and suggests great ways of using it. He shares all his work and over the years he has been a great inspiration to me. I often dip into his blogs and many of the sites I show you were originally found by Nik.

Remember if you want to study with me. I teach on the MA in ELT at the University of Warwick where you can specialize in technology/ICT in ELT.
