Best,
Karenne
Thanks Karenne,
ReplyDeleteI thought that title might ruffle a few feathers, but it seems to have met with general approval. I'm trying to find a rhythm now, between total inactivity and burnout ; P
Loved the Melanie Butler piece, by the way. Extremely educational.
Thank you very much,Karenne.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed looking through your great list of stuff you wrote and enjoyed reading. The idea for Powerpointing grammar is a great one. I liked your Face on, Face Off posting as well.
I look forward to looking through some more of your recommended readings. Thank you :)
Even when I'm not busy, I really appreciate your summaries of good reads--I always miss something.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am busy, I REALLY depend on these lists of highlights!
Thanks.
Thanks also for including a couple of posts from Teaching Village. I always feel like the student who did something right when I get a nod from another blogger like you :)
Hey guys, thanks for your thanks! I'm never really sure about doing these and stopped sometime last year cause I wasn't sure if people liked them - but then I found myself hunting through the old ones for an article I wanted to find by another blogger and knew I'd saved it somewhere and then I realized that actually they were useful to me!
ReplyDeleteReally glad to hear you enjoy them too!
Karenne
Hi,
ReplyDeleteLove the new layout! Great stuff! Perhaps you could do a tutorial or two on how to jazz up Blogger blogs?
Carl
On the list of things to do, Carl! ;-) actually planning on running a series of posts on blogging - probably May (have to get MELTA, TESOLSpain and IATEFL out of the way first) - will let you know (it's hard but patience wins out...)
ReplyDeleteThanks Karenne, for this useful and timely update! Can I add that I loved the Melanie BUtler article? Great addition to that series. Sorry I didn't comment on it before, I just saw it now.
ReplyDeleteIs hat-tip a Karenne thing or is it a web 2.0 thing that I didn't know about?
Hi Lindsay,
ReplyDeleteI got it from Alex... I think it means "got the information from blah, blah so I'm giving him the acknowledgment for sharing the information, however it wasn't user-generated, he got it from another source but I'm awfully grateful for the tip so I'm tipping my hat his way."
:-)K
