The intention of this blog a year ago was to provide an accessible place for SAL teachers to share new ideas gleaned from conferences - virtual professional development. Since my last post, I've been inspired to share from the LLD Best Practices session, the Pasadena CATESOL, the national NAFSA conference in LA and my meetings with students, agents, and universities in Asia.
I've discovered, though, that now other online resources offer even better formats for these posts. Facebook, Twitter, and Diigo each serve a different purpose but all support our objective of sharing strategies and inspirations. SAL teachers have two Diigo groups for posting and discussing articles and videos and their own Twitter for updating activities and passing along quick ideas.
So, I'll get up to speed on and move on to those social networking sites. Anyone else is welcome to post to this blog. Perhaps a reasons for rejuvenation is right around the corner, but for now please join SAL's Diigo and Twitter groups to stay in touch with your colleagues and conferences.
