http://watchknowlearn.org

but for Home Schoolers (and parents), as well as ANY family posted in a far-flung location, this site is a GREAT treasure trove full of information about our world — from multiple sources. They rely on grad students, teachers, and lots of volunteers — and it shows. It’s feature-rich.

Now you can get TESOL training designed for ministry on a ministry budget. Asean Center for TESOL offers an intensive, five-week course leading to a TESOL certificate in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Get classes, community experience, and lots of guidance – and a certificate – all at the same time. And it’s cheaper to fly out and take this course than it is to take the same course in N.A.!
