A lot of students write to me saying "I gave the IELTS test yesterday". Please note that "give an exam" is not correct. Don't say: - I gave an exam. - I gave the IELTS test. Do say: - I took the IELTS exam/test. Our friend P from Poland shared his recent IELTS exam.

The type is hard to read, even at the infographic’s full size because the the designer used a compressed typeface. The pot of gold graphics are used heavily to nice affect, but coloring a pot of gold with a green or purple hue was not a good choice. But I do credit the designer for playfully including the colors of the rainbow (where you would find a pot of gold) into the infographic.

Research on the brain's response to electronic media is fascinating, and not a little disturbing. On the plus side, it suggests that digital natives have higher baseline activity in the part of the brain governing short-term memory, the sorting of complex information, and the integration of sensations and thoughts — so, in certain respects, computers make you smarter. As if to underline that point, IQ scores are on the increase in the United States as the number of digital natives rises, and people's ability to multitask without errors is improving.

As promised in my posting of April 8th 2011 I would like to share here some first insights into the results from my survey into Mobile Learning 2011 and what some of the statistical comparisons show when matched against results from the same survey last year. Before I go into more detail I would like to point out that the results of this survey were gathered through self selecting responses and the survey being online and distributed through various internet channels including Twitter and various electronic newsletters and communities, would imply that the majority of respondents will all be to a degree among the more digitally literate and internet connected, so this can’t be taken as representative of the global community of EFL and ESL teachers, but does show changes and shifts within that demographic by comparison with the 2010 survey. In terms of the people who answered the survey, there have been less responses this year, with a drop from around 500 last year to 300 this year.

The suburb of Saffron Park lay on the sunset side of London, as red and ragged as a cloud of sunset. It was built of a bright brick throughout; its sky-line was fantastic, and even its ground plan was wild. It had been the outburst of a speculative builder, faintly tinged with art, who called its architecture sometimes Elizabethan and sometimes Queen Anne, apparently under the impression that the two sovereigns were identical.
The video attached shows a portrait of digitally literate students desperately held back by the traditional methods employed by their teachers and controlled by the institutions in which they study. Is this an accurate picture? How close is the situation in your own school to the one described here?
