What is a blogger without their tools? What do you need to be an effective blogger? Here are the tools that I use every week⁠ What is Super Duolingo? How did it change my language-learning experience? Is it worth the 60-pounds-a-month price tag?⁠ Not too long ago, I embarked upon my first trip abroad. I was one of several teachers accompanying students from years 10-13 to France and Belgium. We toured around the battlefields that were left behind in the aftermath of World War One and absorbed so, so much. Here’s what it was like for a teacher to go on his first ever school trip abroad. I’ve not given up the day job to pursue studying. I am simultaneously a teacher and a student. Bizarre. So what gives? The first teacher’s strike of the year has been and gone, but more are on the way. Regardless of your thoughts on them, it is so important for workers to have their voices heard. And for a teacher’s strike, no voice is more important than a teacher’s. It’s been a while. Here’s where I’ve been, where I’m going, and why breaking up with your habits every once in a while isn’t as scary as you think it might be. My own productivity app system is still evolving and changing, but I think that it’s got to a point where it’s now effective enough to share with the world. These are the (free!) apps that I use in my ultimate productivity system. This is my simple, five-step, routine to building a super relaxed night-time routine that’ll make you feel healthy and at-peace before going to bed. ⁠ Having a decent routine that you do every single morning can go miles in the right direction to getting your head wrapped around whatever’s on your to-do list. Here’s my 5-step routine to a healthier morning.⁠
