Welcome to the Electronic Village Online 2009

A professional development project and virtual extension of the TESOL Convention.

For six weeks , participants can engage with ESOL experts in collaborative, online discussion sessions or hands-on virtual workshops of professional and scholarly benefit. These sessions will bring together participants for a longer period of time than is permitted by the four-day land-based TESOL convention and will allow a fuller development of ideas and themes of the convention or of professional interest in general.

The sessions are free and open to all interested parties. You do not need to be a TESOL member to participate.

To view the 2009 EVO sessions, go to Call for Participation 09.

You may join sessions after January 2nd.

ACTEM Conference 2008

October 18, 2008 |  Tagged , , , , , , | 2 Comments

MaineEd 2008 was great this year. Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach was the keynote speaker and her message about the needed shift in education was just as important as ever to hear. Bob recorded the keynote

Bob, Cheryl, and I presented “Geek of the Week”, which was well attended and broadcast live on EdTEchTalk.com. It was great to see my colleagues from our high school and from the summer classes at USM. The audio podcast and links should be available soon.

With 1000+ people in attendance it was invigorating to see the excitement of the attendees. It will be fun to see the follow up at the MaineED netvibes site set up by Michael Richards.
