Over-prepared Teacher

Although I do not yet know where I am teaching, who I am teaching, or what I am teaching, I am still slowly becoming obsessed with ESL lesson plans, activities, multi-media resources, and units. I have found myself surfing the web for hours, creating hypothetical lesson plans that may never get implemented because of my placement. In general, I've really begun to enjoy thinking up lessons that would (hopefully) help ESL students learn and enjoy English. My two current favorite websites are ESL Kids Stuff, which has lesson plans, flash cards, videos, and worksheets, along with Everything ESL. Everything ESL serves as a database to hundreds of other websites, specialized in certain age groups. This website will certainly come in handy once I know where my placement is.

Exposure Central

I must say that since I began taking this course, I have really grown as a teacher. Not only have I explored various teacher and classroom blogs, but I have already made the connections (even if it is just following a site/blog) that will continue to help me grow as a teacher in the future. With the upcoming year filled with firsts (including teaching in Argentina), exploring the net and the blogging world has only helped with my endeavors. I've diigo-ed many useful ESL sites along with begun following a classroom blog in Argentina! Just goes to show that the internet really DOES have everything!!
