It’s 2012; there’s a website for everything, but what sites are designed for language learners and teachers? It doesn’t matter! With a little creative thinking and exploration, dynamic web tools can easily be used in and outside the classroom, making learning very modern, exciting and memorable. These workshops introduce unique sites (a fluid list that continually changes) and demonstrate how to use them for language learning.

This series can be tailored to the needs of your teachers.  Each stream includes a minimum of 4 different web tools and example activities for each that can be adapted for any level. Option: If wifi or a computer lab is available, attendees will be able to work along my side while learning about the tool.
