Let’s Meet at the PCE

I have been honored with an invitation to present at the IATEFL YLT and LT SIGs joint event on April 12, 2016. I will be focusing on my experiences with implementing technology in EFL high school classes. The journey that began in 1993 in a computer lab, has provided my students and I with  opportunities and challenges. I will discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in including personal devices in the classroom.
