A bit about me...
I work as a consultant in secondary education, teaching English and technology. I also teach English and intercultural competence in industry. I love my job, believe in lifetime learning and hate teachers who aren't interested in developing themselves.

I often get customers who want to know what lines from Beatles songs mean. Does anyone else get this? Some of their later stuff can be quite challenging!

Besides, it is a sport that has evolved a lot from its beginning, but if you do not know too much about the sport is hard to see it as more than a kid game.However, this sport is more than just kids and young people making scooter tricks in a square; scootering is a kind of culture and a lifestyle that has more than 20 years growing to become what it is today.For this reason, we…See More
"My preference is this website is best.
Twitter is used for social purpose and EDUPLN is used for professional discussion which you cannot discuss on social platforms."
"Hi,
There are too many platforms of social media and the member of those platform discuss so many things and participate. So it depends only on you where do you want to discuss."
