EVO stands for Electronic Village Online, a CALL IS professional development project and virtual extension of the TESOL annual Convention, which this year will take place in Seattle.
It is open to all interested parties and offers free 6-week workshops during which participants can interact online with peers, tutors and experts while engaging in hands-on experimentation with different online tools.
Among the many sessions offered from January 15th to February 25th 2007, you will find one which focuses on Webpublishing in Open Participatory Environments.
This will be an advanced level workshop for teachers who have already experimented with blogs and podcasts either for their own use or with classes and who would like to extend their technical and pedagogical knowledge of these social tools, RSS and tagging to help learners interact with the web at large and create networks according to their own interests.
At Dekita, we are interested in highlighting and connecting this thriving community of ESL/EFL learners interested in sharing their own multi-media productions, like blogs, photos, audio, and video.
Put professional development and creativity on your list of good resolutions for 2007. There are sessions for all levels and interests. Registration for the EVO has started and goes until January 14th.
Happy New Year!
