Free Teacher Training Webinars from British Council Teaching English (check the full list of webinars) [] Using social networks and media to support our continuing professional development || **Theme:** Many teachers have found that social networks and media can provide valuable support for their continuing professional development. However, knowing where to start can be a problem. Facebook, Twitter and the blogosphere aren't always easy places to move in and it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the multitude of posts that appear and disappear in rapid succession.

In this webinar we'll consider practical ways of centring and organising ourselves to make the process a little less chaotic. Storytelling with the Digital Generation || Presenter: Shelly Terrell ||

I hope to prove that you don't have to be a gamer to be using such games with your learners.
