The summer hols are a great time to reflect on the academic year. I really feel that my improved IT and NLP skills have helped me support students better. Particularly in Term 3, I must say however I was glad of the rest over the summer which went too quick. Along with moving house, I had to complete 2 essays for my MA.
This year I am going to be teaching NVQ level 1 Hairdressing with ESOL so I needed to update lots of my resources. Again my best friend google has helped me loads, take a look at some of my new teaching resources and use them if you can...

...heres a little tutorial if your interested in creating a google account. I would really recommend it, so you can create docs- PowerPoint, word, excel, as well as blogs, sites, photo albums. I even have google desktop now on my net book

About Me
- Ryan Wilde
- I first became interested in NLP, mentoring and coaching whilst studying an MA in Education at Roehampton University where I wrote a research proposal on NLP in Education. Towards the end of my MA I decided to focus on the benefits of ‘improving self-esteem to increase academic achievement’, this was hugely successful and lead me to study a great deal of texts on self-help. In 2008 I studied the full NLP practitioner course with the society of NLP. Now that I have finished my MA I have left my job as a college lecturer and am taking a sabbatical year. I'm currently in Paris learning French at a school near the centre. When I return to the UK in late May I hope to find an exciting new career utilising all the things I've learnt with my MA and NLP skills...

Ryan,
Nice refreshing stuff - I like the openness of your blog - I'll refer people to it as an example of good practice.
I like your presentation on usign a blog for reflective practice.
Fantastic stuff - keep it up.
Ryan, this is really impressive! So much stuff.
How have your ESOL learners been managing on accessing materials so far?

Thanks for your comments guys... yes the esol students have managed to use it more than last year. Two things I have done to encourage this is to take my powerpoint off it during class to demonstate how to access the info in each class. Also I have the URL for my site on all the handouts (just in the foot notes)
Best Ryan
