Communicate.06 conference - Scottish CILT's national conference
What went on at 2006's conference?
Scottish CILT’s 2006 National Conference, on Saturday 18 March, was a free day of exciting technology and teaching. 100 of the country’s languages teachers and advisors came to build on their use of technology - whether to make links with partner schools, to inject new forms of creativity into the classroom, or to learn a new skill such as making a blog.
