@garylkarp Right! So often people's slides overwhelm (or undermine) the message.

Also see http://t.co/tWId6KaPew if you're interested in making changes to disability in workplace culture!

DVC hosted 2 great presentations by @garylkarp today. Lots of good resources re. "modern disability" at http://t.co/ZDTan7iFds

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

@garylkarp Also, I have to say: Beautiful slides. I wasn't surprised to hear that you had a graphic design background!

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

@garylkarp Great presentations at DVC today. Thanks for coming.

I just learned that in Japanese, manifest(ation) can mean protest/demonstration, same as in French. It doesn't have that meaning in English.

@talkclouds Here it is: http://t.co/llesMXrhdx A great book!

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

@PeterSokolowski Thank you so much! I googled everything I could think of and couldn't come up with it (search terms all too common).

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

I've misplaced a good textbook I had with short articles about IKEA and other companies. Anyone familiar, know title? Or other resources?

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

@JapanIntercult It's great! But, you know, like doing an essay on "any topic", it's a little overwhelming. :)

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

@JapanIntercult Individual PD, though, not the whole faculty at a time

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

@JapanIntercult I teach at an IEP (currently listening/speaking, sometimes r/w/grammar). Ss are Chinese, Saudi, Korean, and some others :)

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

If you know a great #ELT conference in South or Central America, let me know! #tesol

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

My boss has offered to sponsor some PD. We can be creative--improv classes? Arabic? Korean? If you have ideas, I'd love to hear. #elt #tesol

@EAZEFLESL Of course! But little kids only know what they've learned/been shown. :/ And they'd been told about presidents but not pilots.

It's really easy to get this stuff right, or at least better. Shame on the publishers who can't be bothered.

[Clarissa @talkclouds]

And it DOES matter. As a small kid I was told "OK, girls can become president by law, but they CAN'T be PILOTS!" since they'd never seen one
