3 weeks ago today, I enjoyed facilitating my @iatefl.bsky.social workshop "3 learner-centred coaching practices to empower autonomous learners & teachers" at #IATEFL2025 Conference in Edinburgh.
Thanks attendees!

I'm hoping BlueSky can have a wonderful collection of #TESOL professionals. I really miss the active days of #EFL on Twitter. #ELTChat anybody? :)

a resource worth sharing: a playlist of bitesized videos to create a digital dictionary on the topic of climate change, using simple language that is accessible for all.
Only 2 videos now but let it grow - so many ways we can use it in class! #eltchat

I was thinking the same. #eltchat was such a vibrant community.

I'm feeling nostalgic and hoping #eltchat will grow some new wings. @ellii.com is here too! Please add us to your Starter Pack. Thanks for creating this helpful list.

I seem to be finding a lot of the #eltchat crowd from back in the day :) - so how many of you are looking at the #eltons sessions tomorrow?

#eltchat was never adequately replaced, and I think we've become more isolated. So forgive me for wandering onto BlueSky and feeling 2012 nostalgia. If you were there, you'll know what I mean, and if you missed it, trust me, we can build something better.
