It's with a group of four Australian educators, sharing how they set up a social network for teachers in their region: 'Setting up a regional PLN on Twitter: AusELT'. In the webinar these educators discuss Twitter and other online tools they are using to enhance this network. Delete the scoop?

Nicky Hockly moderated an IATEFL Learning Technologies SIG webinar debate on IWBs in language teaching in January 2013, with contributions from Pete Sharma and Gavin Dudeney.

Join this group and follow the debate LearningTechnologiesSIG@yahoogroups.com (free membership)
You can also join IATEFL and the LT SIG (subscription) and hear a recording of the webinar.
