Welcome to “What Makes Them Talk: Resources and Strategies for Japanese Classrooms

NORTHEAST CONFERENCE, MARCH 2010

This session is for Japanese teachers who would like their students to better interact, communicate, and collaborate verbally and non-verbally by using free online tools without the distraction of trying to figure our the technical aspects of implementation.  I will demonstrate examples of student activities with these tools.   Free resources available on-line and the strategies to use them will also be presented.  I would welcome any comments, suggestions and questions so please post in this blog.  コメントやご意見がありましたら、このブログに書いていただけるとありがたいです。
