Most of the Twitter chats I participate in are hosted in North America and I have a few I try to catch regularly. #ELTchat is UK-based and it took a long summer hiatus; consequently, I missed the first week. I came across the #ELTchat by chance yesterday because of @juliacphang\u2019s #ELTchat comments appearing in my news feed. The chat time alternates between morning and mid-afternoon, my time; therefore, I was able to catch most of the chat during breakfast.Watch movie online A Cure for Wellness (2017)<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

#ELTchat differs from most chats I participate in, since there are no questions posted in advance for discussion. The topic for each chat is chosen from submissions by popular vote. You can view the open forum for topics\u00a0here<\/a> on Saturdays and the topic is selected by followers on Sundays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Chats take place on Wednesdays, alternating each week between 12:00 and 21:00 BST, or 7:00 and 16:00 EST.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yesterday\u2019s topic piqued my interest: Using Online Resources for Listening and Speaking in the Classroom,<\/strong><\/em> moderated by @Marisa_C, @angelos_bollas, and @Shaunwilden. The resources mentioned included:(an aside: @Marisa_C said that this was a slow chat. I can\u2019t imagine collating all the suggestions in a busier chat; look at this list!<\/p>\n

Here is a link to my Storify of the chat so that you can follow the conversation thread as it unfolded.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I consider myself knowledgeable about online resources and edtech, but there are a few suggestions in the table above that I have not tried before. My mind is buzzing with ideas and possibilities. I definitely need to go update my Live Binders with some of these great online tools and apps for listening and speaking. I\u2019m especially interested in Voxopop \u2013 students don\u2019t have many opportunities for practicing speaking online, and this one gives students authentic spaces in which to practice. Putting it on the must-try list immediately.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who shared their suggestions and for participating in the chat. @juliacphang, I wouldn\u2019t have written this summary had it not been for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
