During my first Feedwhip of the day, I was quite intrigued to find the post Cup of Joe School 2.0 Style in my email inbox as it included a picture of a coffee cup with the words Cup of Joe emblazoned across the front and the title Integrating ICT into the MFL Classroom above its head. The post appeared on LostJohns a blog by Alabama Spanish teacher Bill Bishop who was writing about a comment I'd left on his previous post 100th Blog Post and Silvia Tolisano where I'd shared links to Silvia-related articles I'd blogged about in the last year.
So why the title Cup of Joe School 2.0 Style? Well, I knew like me, Bill had recently joined a Ning social network called School 2.0 set up by Steve Hargadon, a blogger from the States. So that accounted for the second part, but I was still stumped by the first. Following a bit of research via Wikipedia, I discovered that in fact the term Cup of Joe is an American nickname for coffee and that Bill, despite being a self-confessed non coffee drinker, was therefore seemingly suggesting that my visit to his blog had been just the cup of Joe he had needed for the day. This was very flattering and proof of the power of Web 2.0 tools to connect language teachers around the world.
So thank you Bill and I'm delighted that Integrating ICT into the MFL Classroom has indeed been just your cup of tea!
