Getting Started

I recently returned from the PAC-KOTESOL 2010 International Conference in Seoul. There was a panel of illustrious TESOL experts at the end of Saturday's program. One of the panelists was Ken Beatty. He has been writing on CALL. After the session was over, I went over and introduced myself and asked if he was on Twitter or was blogging. He said he wasn't, but probably should be. He also asked if I was. As some of you know, I am a fairly active Twitterer (@gtb). And although I use blogs a lot, I have not consistently blogged about TESOL and web tools, despite having a passion for it. And so, this is an attempt to get things started. I hope people will read, leave comments and share. And, depending on how things develop, I hope to have guest bloggers or even invite others to be regular contributors. Please leave feedback.

There's no one more qualified in the Japanese EFL context to write about upcoming CALL issues...except maybe Dr. Charlie Brown, who I hope will become a contributor?...Anyway, look forward to this blog developing as a platform for TESOL/CALL exchange of language learning and teaching ideas.
