The last 10 days without an internet connection in the office has been pretty awful from a business point of view.
However, it has made me realise how much I have come to depend on the internet for teaching resources. I mean, 5 years ago I barely used it and managed more than adequately to supplement coursebook materials and prepare extra activities. Instead, I was a little boy lost this week without access to this site's worksheet wizard, various kids' materials sites, news sites, songs and lyrics, pictures and photos etc etc. Thank goodness I have a lot of stuff I've prepared over the years that I was able to recycle, but it wasn't the same if you know what I mean.
My question is this: If you suddenly lost access to the internet, how difficult would your job become, and how long do you think it wouild take for you to get used to the 'old way' of getting \ preparing materials?
By the way, it's nice to be back
