We also have our featured blog of the month for November - Tim Robbio Ware's Mr. Bean video lesson, and news of all six shortlisted posts for you to look at. If you're looking for advice on the best apps for teachers and learners and how to use them, then check out our latest podcast with Tracy Dumais, Mobile Learning Consultant with the British Council app team.

The TE news will be taking a break over the festive period but we will be back with more great resources in 2015.
