When I think of Wales it reminds me of some of the nicest Welshman I know, Stuart Ball from Microsoft @innovativeteach, Merlin John @merlinjohn from http://www.agent4change.net/ oh and I suppose Dave Rogers @daviderogers who has a great collection of socks among other things. I am not sure also whether he really counts as a Welshman but he does in my eyes and also has an Italian side! Yes you may know the Italian stallion himself Alessio Bernadelli – who is now working for NGFL Cymru you can follow him on twitter @sober or check out his blog here: http://alessiobernardelli.wordpress.com/2010/11/18/ngfl-cymru-live/
Anyway I am not here to just talk about Wales although I could go on about the awesome Penderyn Whiskey which is produced from the tears of angels and was once introduced to it on a cold winter’s night in Cornwall by Stuart Ball. (Yes there is a welsh whiskey). The thing I really wanted to mention was the brand new professional development opportunity for teachers all over the world and that is the new online TV channel by NGFL Cymru which you can see here:
