What is Chinese Teachers Connect?
For a long time now I have been thinking of ways we can harness technology to connect teachers of Chinese from around the world. We can all learn from each other, so why not use technology to connect us together?
It’s great to get together with teachers of Chinese at Conferences and workshops, but in this age of digital tools, we can meet online and share our experiences teaching Chinese.

I will welcome all teachers and give you an outline of the day's session.
I will share my computer screen allowing you to see the presentation, and there will be time allocated to discuss issues related to practical classroom applications.
I will also enable you to download any handouts and worksheets that are mentioned in the session.
