Welcome

Welcome to this workshop series. Through this work together we will explore a few online tools that can help us create and enhance oral interaction practice through online environments in our second language classes.

The session is meant to be a hands on experience. You will have access to computers with Internet, headsets to record and set up a few pages on a blog to host your files and share some ideas.

At the beginning of the session we will review updates on IHLA and ensure everyone has the following:

1. a GMAIL account
2. set up a BLOG together
3. access and use audiopals
4. use audiopals and Google maps to set up a special student task
5. create a welcome message with a VOKI

Make sure you take notes during the session and feel free to ask questions even after you get back to your classes. Share with us your experience working with these tools.

We will send you a link to a satisfaction survey at the end of the session.

Thanks for coming.
