@elonmusk He pleaded guilty. Ask him.

@FDiMambroELT I suppose to teach in most institutions you need a degree: generally uni graduates represent a high calibre of applicant l. You should still be able to demonstrate equivalency through experience, though.

@CarterRhiannon Just persuaded my wife to let us get a 58" screen (replacing an old normal-sized telly). It's too big, but hey ho.

@TerryWaltz_TCI So no practice without you mediating? How many students do you teach?

[David Pickup @efl_david]

@TerryWaltz_TCI So what, they listen to you?

[David Pickup @efl_david]

@TerryWaltz_TCI You mean students who make mistakes shouldn't talk to each other? Just trying to make sense of what you're saying.

[David Pickup @efl_david]

@TerryWaltz_TCI What do you mean by "give each other input"?

[David Pickup @efl_david]

@tesolmatthew I'd never heard of Jamboard before - looks pretty useful for collaborative tasks!

[David Pickup @efl_david]

We're being asked to consider how we'll teach simultaneously to F2F and online students. Any thoughts? #EAP #ELT #edutwitter

[David Pickup @efl_david]

@ELTExperiences Agreed. We're in the odd position of having students who've arrived in the UK but will be doing an online course!

@hendopolis Might as well wave our handbags

[David Pickup @efl_david]

This was very interesting, especially in the current climate for online EAP.

[David Pickup @efl_david]

@TwitterEng How have you decided this? Consensus? Genuinely interested from a linguistic point of view.

@11thhourspecial We would get laptop if we didn't have one, and they would pay any excess internet bills if being at home caused us to pay more than usual. Nothing about added heating, lighting costs, increased biscuit consumption of being at home all day though.

@wooclapFR @FromTefl Thanks, I already use it through my HE institution, but good to see this offer!
