Joe Dale will be speaking at the ISMLA national conference on 5 February 2011. Details of the venue will follow on this site.
His title will be: ‘Exploring the modern and foreign in languages’.
Joe is keen to explain that 21st century teachers need to be up-to-date with technologies popular amongst young people to engage with them on the same level. In his session, he explores these technologies and shows you how to exploit them for teaching purposes at primary and secondary level and how to create your own personal learning network to support you along the way.
