YouTube

I've been using YouTube for years and even had an account but it's only recently that I discovered I don't need to search for videos that I use regularly in my lessons. At school I never bothered to log in as I thought it was just quicker to search for the video I wanted each time. However if you only use each video maybe once or twice a year, it would be a good idea to save the video to your favourites. I now have a list of videos to show my students and it means I don't have to remember them all!
I also like to make clips for starters in my lessons and have always just saved them on my computer. It's a bit of a pain getting them on the school computer but I can upload them to YouTube. I can choose whether I make them public or keep them private.

My T&L Blog

I've decided to start a blog to put all my ideas and those of others in one place. My main source of CPD is twitter where I'm a member of the #mfltwitterati. They inspire me with their new ideas to try new things and to keep my lessons interesting for my students.
