It is a hands-on workshop designed for foreign language professionals in Greece - teachers at public and foreign language schools, private lessons teachers, directors of studies, school owners.

In this highly-practical workshop we will look at what mobile and handheld learning really are, and how they can easily be implemented in any classroom. We start by defining mobile learning and considering the pros and cons of a mobile approach in education, before moving on to consider how mobile devices might be successfully integrated into our daily teaching in a principled way. This active workshop features a number of practical teaching ideas as well as tools and apps which are immediately applicable in any context, with any level of learner.
