Sunday, 10:45 am: ChatBoxX - Dynamically Creating a Resource for E-moderators

We shared an IATEFL Learning Technologies SIG Travel Grant. At the Conference we showed how to use chatrooms for teaching. For those of you who were not able to join us there we trust this opportunity to read our presentation will show you the versatility and utility of pooling our creativity and strengths ;-), and we hope you will hop on board the exchange with your valued contributions anytime, anywhere!

Sunday, 5:15 pm: LT SIG Open Forum
This was chaired by out-going SIG Co-ordinator Gavin Dudeney and was well-attended.
Committee members talked about the change of the SIG's name, the SIG Newsletter, SIG website developments, the discussion list and a recent discussion, as well as recent and (then) future SIG events, which are described elsewhere on this website. There followed a question-and-answer session on the SIG's activities and priorities.
A tempting array of prizes (our thanks to the donors!) made the raffle an enjoyable event, and the buffet proved popular. Networking was rampant.
Sunday 6pm: Totally wiki-ed - using wikis in EAP
Tilly Harrison (University of Warwick, England)
A wiki is the type of webpage which anyone can edit. I discussed the way I used one in EAP to create a useful vocabulary collection tailor-made by each class, including ways of helping the students remember the words. We discussed the uses we have found for wikis or similar vocabulary teaching techniques.
My materials can be found here.
