Growing and learning in this digital age
Aperitivo, group activities, mini plenaries, breakfast, lesson demo sessions, short 30 minute talks, speaker speed dating, mingling with the speakers, and, party!!! Probably not what you’d expect from an ELT conference, but then that’s what Innovate ELT in Barcelona was all about; INNOVATION. My head is still spinning because I met so many lovely people, made new friends, learnt so much and had a lot of fun. The president has been set for the new style of ELT conference…
Here is a clip from the talk I gave at Oxford Tefl in Barcelona in February about using mobile phones for teaching and learning.

I will be sharing my ideas about the use of video for teaching learning at the Innovate ELT conference on the 9th May.
Today I am presenting my ideas for a Blended Learning teaching solution via a single community blog Using Academic English
