Learnable – Ordinary people, extraordinary knowledge | Review

A few days ago I stumbled upon an interesting e-learning platform. On learnable.com there are “ordinary people” giving courses in things they are good in and for what they have a passion. So learnable turns the everyday normal guy into a teacher. Right now I did not take a course so I am not sure about the quality standard so far, but nevertheless the idea behind it seems quite interesting. Learn – take courses When you try to widen your knwoledge or digg deeper into some of your favorite subjects, learnable offers a great variety of courses. The biggest variety – due to learnable.com’s roots – is still the technology area. Nevertheless topics like “business” and “lifestyle” are closing up. Courses are structered in different ways (up to the teacher) and can be completely in text, with videos or other media attached, completable in one rush or with interactive assignments and consecutive lessons. The courses are, of course, not for free. The prices I saw so far reached from 15$ to 30$ per course. Every course (at least those I checked) has an introduction (e.g. video) so that you can gain a short overview over the topic and gain a [...]

My Thai year – Thailand 2011 – a look back

My first complete year in Thailand comes to an end. Time to reflect, re-think, reconsider and review. Highlights, lowlights, learnings, earnings, disappointments. The good, the bad and the ugly of living a teaching life in Thailand. I divided this post (as well as the complete my-thai.org website) into different sections. Travel, Teaching & Living. I will write about the highlights and lowlights of 2011 in each of these categories. Let’s get the ball rolling with the travel part. Since I am living in a more rural part of the country I don’t see the beach or the sea every single day. That’s why I am quite happy when there are reasons to travel. One of those reasons during the past year was the visit of one of my good friends from Germany. We travelled for about two weeks and came across some pretty nice and fascinating places. To name a few of those highlights: Chiang Mai (during Songkran festival – crazy!), Sukhothai (during Songkran festival – crazy crazy!), Bangkok (of course!) and beautiful Krabi (Tonsai Beach!). While every stop during our journey was interesting and somehow impressive, Krabi blew the whole thing off. In an incredible way. Actually there are no words [...]

Social Media & Education: Twitter for Teaching

After already talking about the biggest of all social networks, facebook, and its potential for teaching purposes and the article on how to use a self hosted website for educational matters, it is now time to focus on another big player in the social media hemisphere. Twitter. For those of you who don’t know Twitter Twitter is a short messaging service which actually plays a big role in social media marketing, branding and entertainment. The biggest user group is, right now, therefore not the typical 16-25 peer group but older users with more experience. However more and more students are getting into it and warming up with the short and quick way of sharing interests and news. Twitter allows you to send messages up to 140 characters through the web. You can either publish those messages publicly on your profile (e.g. twitter.com/nomadteacher1) twitter profile with publicly visible tweets (messages) or you can address those messages directly to a specific user while adding his username in front of a message (e.g. @sayfun check out this cool blog post about how to use twitter for teaching on nomadteacher.org). addressing a message on twitter directly – still publicly visible. you can also add [...]

2 weeks backpacking | Thailand and Kuala Lumpur

Since the life of a teacher is a very hard and stressfull one (stop laughing!) it is more than logical that we have some weeks off from time to time. I spent the last 3 weeks on the road while backpacking across Thailand and Kuala Lumpur. Here are some of my higlights. Chiang Mai – Songkran Festival The first stop was in the north of Thailand in the most beautiful  [ Read More ]
