Do You Speak Tech? 2.0
Second Languages and Intercultural Council PD and AGM Event
Free for SLIC members!
Participants at last fall's event were overwhelming in their request for a follow-up session.
SLIC's response? Great idea!
The Second Languages and Intercultural Council (SLIC) of the Alberta Teachers' Association is thus offering a FREE hands-on professional learning opportunity focused on playtime with the "Best of the Best" learning technologies for the second language classroom. Great news: even if you missed the 2015 event, you can still 'play' along!
Space is limited (maximum 130 participants) and the event is filling up. Register today to avoid disappointment!
