Today I was trying to find something on line under the topic of “embedding ICT in ESOL” that wouldn’t bore the pants off our students. I found a reference to something we already do ie: get learners to use their smart phones. Apparently this is known as “bring your own device (BYOD)” Why do we do this? Because we are skint and operating in a low tech environment. So with thanks and love to Kate and Anna T who made an otherwise dull, dark afternoon lots of fun here is my A-Z of what to bring to our centre.
Bring your own:
Artex, to cover the cracks in our ceiling
Bottle, the meetings can get a little trying
Chair, ours are broken
Device, we already told you
Exit, in case you can’t find ours
Friend to Kate’s party, she won’t share hers.
Gaffer tape, it’s always useful
Hole punch, Raha keeps hiding them
Inspector, choose a nice one
Jodhpurs, in case we decide to embed horse riding
Koala, Kate’s Australian cousin is homesick
Lesson plan, I’m not writing it for you
Man, there are hardly any here
Numeracy, we need to embed it
Origami activity, I can never remember mine
Post-it notes, I made my own last week
Quiz, I can’t be bothered with Kahoot
Rubber because learners love erasing things
Sandwich, the corner shop’s are despicable
Teacher, I want to go home now
Underwear, we shouldn’t need to remind you
Vermin repellent, we have a problem
Washing up liquid, stop making us do your dishes
Xercise books, we’ve ordered them but they haven’t arrived
Yellow file of materials, we need it back now.
Zen, we need more of it
