Today with the option of using other video conferencing tools like Google Hangout, many teachers now call them Mystery Location calls. Come learn how to do one in your classroom. I will help you find another class to connect with, explain how to "play" the game, and walk you through the classroom jobs you could assign to your students so that your Mystery call turns into a true "learning call" as Silva Tolisano likes to call them. </span></p><p><span id="docs-internal-guid-0cf0dddb-3944-872e-ff9b-47ab3ba24051"><span>Websites / URLs Associated with Your Session: <strong><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/mysterylocationcalls/">https://sites.google.com/site/mysterylocationcalls/</a> <a href="http://pnaugle.blogspot.com">http://pnaugle.blogspot.com</a></strong></span></span></p></div>Visually Inspire Your Learners!https://futureofeducation.com/groups/2013-rscon-presenters/forum/visually-inspire-your-learners2013-09-17T09:51:12.000Z2013-09-17T09:51:12.000ZJanet Bianchinihttps://futureofeducation.com/members/JanetBianchini<div><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" id="docs-internal-guid-344eeb6c-2b32-1559-b821-3143a6b54719"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Session Title</strong>: Visually Inspire Your Learners!<br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Your Name</strong>: Janet Bianchini<br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Work Title</strong>: Teacher / Teacher Trainer<br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Area of the World from Which You Will Present</strong>: Italy</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Language in Which You Will Present</strong>: English</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Target Audience(s)</strong>: EFL teachers, practising teachers<br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"></p><p><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Short Session Description</strong>:</span> The effective use of images can play a big role in shaping our lessons and creating motivating activities for our learners.</p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.15;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;"><strong>Full Session Description</strong>:</span> This practical session will share how I exploit some of my own images to create visually engaging materials for my students.
