who is michael chalk?

michael chalk works at preston reservoir ACE, as a

teacher (adult literacy and English as a second language)
writer, editor and publisher (newsletter, web sites)
online facilitator
flexible learning co-ordinator,
etc.

michael was conducting research for years on end, and he wanted to share some of his reading with the world. So he started this blog. The research focuses on our ‘at the beach‘ language-learning online resource.

Now he’s finished the research, his blogging attention wanders. Work-related thinking could include

adult literacy,
e-learning in general,
classroom teaching practice,
technologies in literacy learning,
gaming for education ..
that sort of thing
