Pete Sharma Associates

Merry Christmas to everyone!

next year promises many exciting ventures….

a new training course for teachers
podcasts from Pete and Barney
the In Company CD-ROMs
and, of course, Blended Learning – our new book..

here’s to a successful 2007 to one and all!

The latest Journal of the Learning Technologies SIG is out.

It has some great articles, including one on the future of Interactive Whiteboards in ELT (Brendan Wightman), one on Second Life (Gavin Dudeney) as well as one on podcasting.

A gripping read.

A preliminary brochure for the Aberdeen Conference has been posted on the IATEFL web-site.

Volume 7 Number of the magazine from ELTAS – English Teaching Matters – is now published (ISSN 1862-4626)

It’s a great issue for Business English.

On technology, the issue includes Maurice Claypole’s Media Watch, a write-up of Nicky Hockley’s session on Blogs, Wikis and Chat in Berlin, and (my own) An A-Z of Technology in language teaching.

Congrats to Editor Karen Richardson

Enjoy!

It was a great BESIG conference!

Lots of debate and discussion about technology. Many answers to the questions asked can be found in our forthcoming book…..! Watch this space…
