Social Networking: Thriving as a community of practice-2009
Organizers

AVEALMEC and ARCALL
Description
|
AVEALMEC and ARCALL are two Latin-American associations interested in promoting the use of ICT in the language classroom. They have joined forces to organize this first regional event to help spread the word on the role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the language classroom. This first conference will focus on social networks and their potential to create communities of practice to share, communicate without barriers and enhance the teaching-learning process in the language classroom.
This conference will have guest
speakers not only from South America but
from different parts of the world. Their presentations will range from proposing
an alternative theory to understand how the sea of information available on the
net sparks connections, thus creating new information and a different way of
learning to the possible e-environments where these connections are likely to
take place. Environments generally made up of like-minded people (communities
of practice) networking, connecting, sharing and building new knowledge or
experiences.
