Hello Everyone,
I thought you might be interested in seeing the CMC Event site. Go to Programme where you can read the abstracts by clicking on the TITLE and see the Powerpoint presentations clicking on the word Presentation beneath each author's name.
Here is the link to the CMC-SIG Yahoo group if anyone is interested in participating in it.
Could you forward these links to your country's members?
Sincerely,
Suzanne Cloke

Padova's CMC SIG Event
Hi Everyone,
I just thought I'd give you an update on the EuroCALL CMC SIG Event we held last week at Padova University. We had about 65 participants representing 17 different countries: Ireland, Russia, Spain, The Czech Republic, The UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Holland, Mexico, Poland, Bielorussia, The US and Hungary.
The first day, we had 3 successful workshops, one given by Antje Neuhoff our national rep in Germany. Nice work, Antje! Contemporaneously, one was given by Sarah Guth and Lisa Griggio whose workshops are always informative and hands on. In the afternoon, Robert O'Dowd presented a lively workshop to round out a very successful launch to our CMC Event.
There were 15 more presentations on Friday and Saturday with the plenary given by Robert O'Dowd. The participants seemed quite enthusiastic throughout the event. (We're still waiting for the results of our online feedback questionnaire.)
Even though the last item on the schedule, the panel discussion on CMC and Language Learning: Future Drections, took place after noon on a beautiful, sunny Saturday with Venice beckoning, we still had great attendance. Mirjam Hauck, who was on the panel, says she is already planning next year's CMC SIG Event!
We had the blessing of our Language Center, of course, as well as the the University of Padova. The Event was also endorsed by the city of Padova and the Veneto Region. We were even able to get the Event recognized by the Ministry of Education so that high school teachers could get credit for it as teacher training.
Several participants expressed the desire to have a place where they could find partners for intercultural exchanges. Any ideas of where we could put this...maybe attach a wiki to the EuroCALL site, under SIG>CMC?
It's only about 4 months until the EuroCALL Conference in Hungary! Wow, time flies. Any news about the 2009 Conference venue?
Sincerely,
Suzanne Cloke
