About this blog

This blog began to accompany a session on technology on the CELTA course at International House Barcelona [website].

It is intended to be used by trainees both on and after the course -- and will hopefully also be of interest to anyone thinking of using technology in a language classroom.

Posts are by me, Tom Walton, webmaster at International House Barcelona, who also gives the face-to-face session.

The views expressed are my own, and are not necessarily shared by anyone else at the institution that employs me.

Do feel free add comments on anything you read here. Alternatively, you can also contact me by mail.

Enjoy your teaching...!

Hi, Tom,

I'm Alexandre Siqueira, an EFL teacher based in Brazil. I came across your blog when I was searching for ELT blogs to include in my own blogroll. I find it really nice, especially because I'm taking the DELTA, so it might really come in handy. I'm totally enthusiastic about the use of learning technologies. That said, if you don't mind, I'll include your blog on my list, all right?

Congratulations on the great work!

My best,
Alexandre Siqueira

P.S.: by the way, my blog is really new, so there isn't much there yet, but that's how we start, right? It's at

It amazes me too, Alexandre ,-)!

I come across lots of stuff in my day-to-day work but how Nik and Larry unearth what they do is, as you say, truly amazing!
