Participate in the final webchat on "Technology and Classroom Activities" this Thursday, June 14th!

A webchat is an opportunity to ask questions online with an English teaching expert. The last one for this series is next Thursday at 4pm. So, if you're on the computer Thursday June 14th at 4pm - log in! You don't have to ask questions you can just read responses. There are usually a lot of good ideas and internet resources mentioned too! - Brigitte
