Lesson planning takes time, so don’t lose time searching for activities on my site, use this useful guide to go straight to the pages and activities you want.
There are currently 117 (this would be the 118th) blog posts on tekhnologic. I have created this guide for teachers who are interested in using PowerPoint games and activities in the classroom.
Lesson planning takes time, so being organized and prepared with your resources is essential. Many teachers use bookmarks for their online content and Sandy Millin has previously recommended online services like Diigo for managing your bookmarks.
Some teachers prefer to use digital notebooks for lesson planning where they can collect online content, media (pictures, video and audio files) as well as a place to write their own thoughts and ideas. I wrote an article on Microsoft’s version of the digital notebook, OneNote, almost 3 years ago.
Other teachers prefer to use their own blogs to collect and manage lesson plan ideas and activities.
There are so many ways to organize and manage resources, but I wanted to create something to make it easier for teachers to access Tekhnologic. I wanted to create a list of links that I could assist teachers in their lesson planning. I wanted a list that could be used across different platforms (Microsoft and Apple) and different devices (computers, tablets and smartphone). I needed a simple and robust method.
I decided to create a PDF file. This is what I came up with.

Creating your own Quick Link PDFs
You may want to create your own PDF guide that contains links to your favorite ELT blogs, you may want to make a PDF guide of your own blog and share it with your readers or may want to create a useful guide of English language tools to share with your students.
I created my guide in Microsoft Word.
