Look up

'But none of these times ever hapened. 
You never had any of this. 
When you're too busy looking down, 
you don't see the chances that you miss.'

'Look Up' is a lesson taught to us through a love story, in a world where we continue to find ways to make it easier for us to connect with one another, but always results in us spending more time alone.

If I should have a daughter...

'If I should have a daughter, instead of Mom, she's gonna call me Point B ... ' began spoken word poet Sarah Kay, in a talk that inspired two standing ovations at TED2011. She tells the story of her metamorphosis - from a wide-eyed teenager soaking in verse at New York's Bowery Poetry Club to a teacher connecting kids with the power of self-expression through Project V.O.I.C.E. - and gives two breathtaking performances of 'B' and 'Hiroshima.' This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.
In, TED

The 28th APPI Conference

I will be attending the 28th Conference APPI for the next three days at the Sheraton Hotel in O'Porto. This year's conference is entitled 'Language & Culture - encourage, engage, empower'. In three days, delegates can make the most of the presentations and the socializing bit by participating in the conference dinner party. In addition, two pedagogical theatre shows may prove inspiring to planning our teaching, I'm so eager to listen to the speakers and meet so many fellow workers from across the country that I only get in touch with in venues like these! I'm sure it will be a great conference! See you in a couple of days!
