Sometimes modern mishaps, like a website going down or losing email for a long 100-hour period, illuminates an ancient proverb.
"We learn by stumbling," an old Bulgarian proverb, has provided solace to this ESL teacher and novice blogger this week.
My evolving website, Compelling Conversations for English Language Learners, Teachers, and Tutors, has been moved and resurrected. The turmoil has passed. I feel both relieved and satisfied.
Please drop by www.CompellingConversations.com for free conversation lesson plans, tips on creating lively ESL/EFL classrooms, and an extensive collection of recommended educational and cultural links for ESL teachers, tutors, and maybe even administrators and advanced students. Enjoy the free downloads, and let me know how to further improve the website.
Like almost every aspect of modern life, the website remains a work in progress.
As ever, you can contact me at talktome@compellingconversations.com with suggestions, proverbs, and quotations.
Thanks for visiting!

Hi Eric,
Thanks for sharing www.compelingconversations.com it is a very good website. I will share it with our ESL staff developers in NYC.
Interesting blog with thoughtful questions.
Thanks Deny. I appreciate your kind words and support.
By the way, your suggestions for a more effective, specialized search engine for K-12 students are fantastic. As so often, resources remain tilted toward the upper end of the system, in this case, graduate students and researchers. So Google created an outstanding resource with Google Scholar to appeal to that elite audience.
Yet, as you note, millions of K-12 students need assistance, training, and guidance to find appropriate educational resources. Google could, and should, respond their real needs too. I hope that Google hears your eloquent plea, hires you, and adopts your ideas.
Shalom
