Webinar – part I

This is just a short post to share the following interesting webinar with my followers – you can join it tomorrow! Yesterday in class I told you about an interesting webinar by Aisha Walker (see an article by her on the TELL Toolbox  – articles). I will share my findings about that one with you shortly, but now I simply would like to draw your attention to the following webinar tomorrow. If you have never attended a webinar and / or are interested in speaking and learning with digital icebreakers, you might want to try this one. It is yet another opportunity to try out technology (webinar) which you can blog about.

Get them speaking & learning with digital icebreakers

Transform your classes into collaborative supportive student communities with digital icebreakers. In this session, Shelly Terrell will share various digital and mobile icebreakers for young learners to adults. Join the fun and learn some quick activities that get students to take better selfies, collaborate on recreating images, and much more! 

For more information, go to this website. To take part, you need to go here. No advance registration is required, so you can always decide last-minute.

For now, have a nice weekend! I will be back soon with my thoughts on the webinar that I attended last Wednesday.

TELL webinar

One of my students pointed out this interesting and relevant OUP webinar on 25 (Dutch time 11.00-12.30) and 26 (Dutch time 16.30 – 18.00) February next – thank you for the tip!

This talk will look at some of the reasons for using technology in language learning and teaching with suggestions for some practical activities. In addition, participants will be encouraged to contribute their own ideas for using technology to enhance language teaching.
