Make Your Own Curriculum
I am preparing up written materials for a TEFL curriculum. Making your own curriculum and going through the process that it entails is a great way to take control of your teaching career. There is nothing more satisfying, except maybe some of those best appetite suppressant products you can buy, than being able to present not only a teaching portfolio, but also a ready made curriculum at a job interview.
Making and designing your own curriculum is a way to understand the learning process and help you deliver a better lesson every time. It’s also a very important thing to have when it comes to being independent. If you can remember many other posts here, I advise you to be independent in your jobs. Remember, just like a good appetite suppressant, a self designed TEFL curriculum will satisfy your hunger.
Dreaming Of A Winter Wonderland
I think I might be a rare TEFLer. I know many TEFL teachers dream of heading abroad to teach English in a tropical climate. I know a significant number of Canadian teachers have set aside their tire chains in exchange for a teaching job in such exotic tropical locations as Thailand and Costa Rica.
I say that I am different because as I look to head abroad teaching again, I am looking for a cold climate. I want to experience the cold weather of winter time. I want to see tire chains on cars and trucks and I want to play with my kids in the snow. It’s not that easy to find this type of TEFL destination so I am heading to you, my loyal readers, for insight.
Can you give some feedback and help me find a cold weather TEFL destination?
Managing Your Teaching Information
We are firmly back in the realm of educational discussions. I want to make that clear to everyone. From this point forward, we are focused on how to make you become a better teacher. One way to become a better teacher is to use technology to improve the delivery or management of your teaching.
Flash drives are ubiquitious these days. Everyone seems to have one or two or several. I have a couple of them, but I have found that a better idea is to have several small micro sd cards and then swap them in and out of my card reader when I need them. They are so small, but they’ll hold an enormous amount of data, like movies, music, presentations and even lesson plans. They are all easy to access and use.
Good Deal On Vegas
Now that fall is firmly upon us, it’s time to start thinking about traveling to a place a bit warmer than it is around here. Fall may be ok here in Tacoma, but winters are less than pleasurable. It’s this time of the year that I start thinking about trips and Vegas is always a great place to visit this time of the year. It’s also a great time of the year to get a good deal on a vegas hotel room. Especially with the economy this year, it might be one of the best and cheapest places to visit over the next few months. That reminds me, I need to make my reservations.
Holiday Food
I know it’s only October, but I am already starting to think about Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner recipes. I am thinking about all the different types of dishes that I just dream to eat during the holidays. I just love all of the great food that comes along with the holidays back here in the states.
I remember the homemade noodles that my grandmother would make. I remember the genuine real stuffing that my mom would have every Thanksgiving. I remember the Christmas turkey. I remember the pumpkin pies. I better stop because I am getting hungry just writing about these.
