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 ELT practitioners to
grow in the use of social networks as learning development tools
encouraging practioners to reflect on the role of communities of practice
as a social network in ELT.
This event is being jointly organized by AVEALMEC and ARCALL, 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:

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.
