WELCOME to #ELLSAPD If you're in a group, introduce yourselves. Organize drinks and/or snacks. Take a minute to look over the agenda for today. Notice cycle timing and breaks. Decide on who is keen to Tweet out responses. Take a selfie and Tweet out #ELLSAPD. Are you new to Twitter? You're here because you're a learner. One of the aims of #ELLSAPD events is to show how we can connect to and benefit from a #PLN (professional learning network) to enhance our teaching practice. |
