In this post, Lindsay gives away a few of the good ideas he never plans to use. I’d love to take his first idea (school door mums) and run with it, but sadly I am too busy with my own English language teaching responsibilities.

It looks like a small laminator, but when you feed a few notes scribbled on an envelope about activities you fancy doing today into one side of it, out the other side comes a beautifully typed, detailed lesson plan written in British Councilese. Saves untold time and tedium. The Plantastic(TM).

Some days, it feels like each link folowed leads to yet another cool tech tool with (yet another) learning curve before I can actually use it in class.
