Web Cast Participation Guide for TESOL 2007
Electronic Village (EV) Fair Classics

Connect with the 41st Annual TESOL Convention and Exhibit (TESOL 2007), March 21-24, 2007 in Seattle, Washington, USA. If you cannot be there in person, join the Convention goers virtually. For the first time, the CALL Interest Section has organized 6 presentations to be web cast from the Electronic Village in Seattle. You will be able to hear CALL experts Susan Gaer, Andy Bowman, and Phil Hubbard present their web projects. By clicking on the links to their presentations, you can listen to the presenter, and also participate in a voice/text chat.

If you have a microphone and headset/speakers, you will be able to ask questions of the presenters directly. Please click the link below to see the schedule of web cast presentations.
