Spreading the word about WordlCALL

Today there were educational sessions at the Escuela de Lenguas of the National University of La Plata celebrating its 15th anniversary. The teachers who belong to the School staff shared the experiences or research works they have carried out this year. The sessions were grouped into three sections: ICT, Literature and Linguistics.

As you may imagine, I took part in the ICT sessions ;-)
In this opportunity, I spoke about WorldCALL - what it is and its aims- and made a brief description of the latest trends presented in Fukuoka. Of course, I showed a picture of the awarded ladies in their kimonos!!!!

I was not alone , Jennifer Verschoor came from Buenos Aires to La Plata. Together we spoke about ARCALL (CALL Argentina) and our intention to fulfill our intention of spreading WorldCALL work.



This is the power point presentation. Unfortunatelly the background is blue in slideshare :-(

What a pity I couldn't join you on this opportunity. I would have liked to see both you and Jennifer. I didn't know you had presented at the World Call conference. I'll try to see the online material.
Congratulations on all your work!

My first Meme (pingback and trackback)

When did I start using Internet? I think it coincides with the economic change in Argentina ( 1 peso = 1 dollar) in the late 90's. I started using e-mailing. I have friedns and family living abroad or in other cities, and they usually complain about the fact that I am pretty lazy for writing letters and going to the post office. So, e-mailing was a solution for me. A really turning point took place in 2001 when I was invited to an on line course on " How to evalute websites" carried out by another Argentinean - Prof. Norma Scagnoli- working at the University of Illinois. She introduced me into the virtual world and there I met one of my dearest cyberfriends: Prof. Dafne Gonzalez. From that moment my virtual life started.
