Thing 13: CON.NX Webchats

Last year I participated in a webinar organized by the Office of English Language Programs, and I believe the event was organized by CON.NX. The webinar was about English materials and the FORUM magazine.  Previous to the event I sent invitations to university and high school English teachers.  It was a rewarding experience as we had Angolan teachers learning about their area of expertise (English) but also had them exposed to technology in a friendly environment, here at the Embassy.  I passed the keyboard around so the teachers could submit their questions.  Surprisingly everything worked just fine (we usually have connections problems in Angola). At the end of the event I distributed Forum magazines to the teachers.  It was a worth wised  outreach and we did not have to spend money with lecturers!

I receive the CON.NX upcoming events updating regularly.  Actually tomorrow we will host a CON.NX webchat about Fulbright Alumni Innovative Funds.
