Blog Evaluation for PD # 1

RiRi English Atmosphere's Blog (http://ririenglishatmosphere.wordpress.com)

This is an attractive, well organized blog to go to if you want a lot of good basic information on CALL. A couple of her blogs even give lesson plan ideas for the implementation of CALL in the classroom. She blogs about tips and pitfalls, history and theory. Her information is quite thorough, and offers the knowledge in easy to understand terms.

However, as all the blogs were done on one day, and there haven't been any updates on CALL since the first posting, I think this is perhaps a student who might now be finished with blogging CALL. Thus this site would not be good for ongoing CALL professional development.

That being said, this author has been blogging about other ESL topics of interest, such as English Education and Linguistics, and so for general PD as an ESL instructor, I may just follow this blog in the future.
