Dear #\"\"<\/a>ELTchat friends and afficionados,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For some time now, it has been difficult to solicit a sufficient number of topics each week to merit a poll. We have a long tradition of involving #ELTchat followers in the selection and voting of the topic to be discussed each week, but of late, we have not had very much response from teachers on Twitter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So I thought, why not change our tactics? For a while or for a long time, it does not really matter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Getting inspiration from an old and dear hashtag on twitter which has turned into a great facebook group of friends playing music to one another, I am launching the idea of each moderator becoming<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#ELTchat DJ of the month!!!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

We\u00a0hope \u00a0you won’t object too much to the idea – Each #ELTchat DJ\/Moderator will pick the topic of #ELTchat each week and announce it to the hashtag followers<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We love our weekly discussions and even when we know little about a topic, it’s a great opportunity to share and learn from the discussion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Suggestions for topics still welcome!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can still suggest a topic on a google spreadsheet here\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>as well as wether you would be willing to write a summary for us (remember we give out badges which are proudly sported by some of the best #ELT Bloggers around!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The DJ\/Mod can choose from the list, or if appropriate, select a topic of current interest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Who are the DJ\/Mods?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The #ELTchat moderators, of course; Sue Annan, Angelos Bollas, Matthew Noble and myself!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are also open to guest DJ’s for one or more #ETchats!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Next one on March 8th\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I\u00a0thought I should be the first DJ; I had the idea, I have the right picture of my avatar D-Jaying in Second Life, what else do I need?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, yes. a topic for this week!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stay tuned!!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
