What would your 'Top Three Tips' for Peer Feedback be? Mine #1 Be Specific (Why you are saying what you are saying: what did you observe?), #2 Be Kind (Why are you saying what you are saying?), #3 Explore Together (rather than 'evaluate' yr peer). #ELT #teachertraining

Peer Feedback Tips wp.me/p3YrWZ-SG > > my new post based on the ideas and input from my #PLN Thank you very much Rachel Tsateri - The TEFL Zone David Deubelbeiss @krisellaneous @MatthewEllman Svetlana Kandybovich!

It is very interesting to receive a comment on a post written a loooooong time ago (2015): wednesdayseminars.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/que… > > and the comment made me re-read the post, and re-reading made me think how the answers to those ??s would be same/different in 2022. Maybe, a new post? 🐾

If I were thinking to take Delta, Sandy Millin (she/her) 🇪🇺 would be the trainer I'd turn to for prep and resources. Her course sounds great!🌳

Another older article about feedback from edutopia: edutopia.org/blog/starting-… > > The part I really like is the Heart🧡 and Brain 🧠 feedback. Just thought how much more heart (any?) feedback may need :-)

Spent some time this morning trying to figure out the difference between a Proverb, Adage and an Aphorism. Hm, clearly need to read more on them all. And on sayings... examples.yourdictionary.com/what-s-the-dif… #ELT non #ELT > > The ultimate ... lies in not having to explain "why" you did smth.

How do/would you use Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions in your classes? 6seconds.org/2022/03/13/plu…> > I think it has so much potential for #ELT

Love the idea of these doors: the poster can be co-created with the students, and can be a combo of L1/L2 for #EFL #ESL classes? Robert Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions

Grateful for the comments to my Peer Feedback Tips post: wednesdayseminars.wordpress.com/2022/08/10/pee… > > While I don't think all of them can be applied at the same time/at each session, it certainly helps to look through the list before talking to smb about their lesson. Choose the kind side. 🧡

My lecture class on the "Making of Modern Ukraine" starts tomorrow. Video will be posted on YouTube a couple days after each lecture.

Can the process of Planning be a resilience tool? Preparing for a Reflective Group meeting with my Ukrainian colleagues, and while it is not the time to be focusing on CPD as in the pre-war times, they are voting for this topic. Looking for ideas on making this session special.

(Un)Planning Our Professional Development wp.me/p3YrWZ-Tp > > w/ideas from my kind #PLN. How do you define PD? How does your definition of what (C)PD is impacts what you choose to work on or learn about?

Can't believe it's been 9 years #blogging. Thank you my #PLN for the company. 🙏I know I could have been more consistent, write and say more. 🧶But... have what we have. ☀️To more writing ahead! ✏️

I know it has been a while since I joined Twitter conversations. Hope to be more active now! A question for my new project: where do you find good reading texts, dif-t genres/cultures, (semi-)authentic, ideally around 200-300 words. Collecting ideas!
