Dear friends,
We are delighted to inform you that from November 5-8, 2009, we will be running the Social Networking 2009 Conference.
This open-knowledge event will be completely online and free and it is aimed at encouraging practioners to reflect on the role of communities of practice as a social network in ELT.
This event is being jointly organized by ARCALL and AVEALMEC , two Latin-American associations, one based in Venezuela and the other in Argentina, interested in promoting the use of ICT in the language classroom.
For this event, we invited conference speakers from different parts of the world:
- George Siemens -Canada
- Etienne Wenger -US
- Vance Stevens -UAE
- Nik Peachey -UK
- Charalambos Vrasidas and Maria Solomou -Cyprus
- Nicky Hockly -Spain
- Erika Cruvinel and Ronaldo Lima –Brazil
- Rita Zeinstejer and Paula Ledesma -Argentina
- Nellie Müller Deustch –Israel
- Carla Arena –Brazil
- Graham Stanley –Spain
- Jennifer Verschoor, Evelyn Izquierdo and Erika Cruvinel –Argentina, Venezuela, Brazil
During four days, our guest speakers will be sharing their experiences and expertise with participants and will help us grasp a better picture of how social networks can be used in the language teaching and learning field. We will be discussing about the concepts and theories around social networks, communities of practice and the Web 2.0, as well as about the use, advantages and drawbacks of social networking tools.

Great work!!, Nelba and Jennifer. I really hope the seed you're planting, may grow everywhere. Our schools , our teachers and our students NEED some fresh air. Some people only see the dark side of the Internet , you're showing the most important one.
The video is fantastic, a lot of food for thought. THANKS

Hi Jennifer,
Just wanted to say that I showed the Brave New World video to the participants on the Cert IBET course I'm moderating at the moment and they loved it too. Many thanks for fishing this from cyberspace for us. Keep up the great work!
