Greetings all
Greetings all,
The idea of extending the deadline on this CfP has been mooted, but at present the Nov 15 deadline remains. This is an excellent opportunity to share your expertise at the next TESOL Conference in Seattle this coming March, especially if you missed the much earlier deadline for mainstream proposals. There's still time to respond to this one:
The TESOL CALL-IS is pleased to present the Call for Proposals for the Electronic Village and Technology Showcase at TESOL 2017. Please re-post and re-share the following Call for Proposals to all interested parties:

Event Summary: In the Technology Fairs, teachers or teacher-developers share their use of technology-based and/or Internet-based resources. These resources can be software; Web sites; Mobile devices or other hardware. Demonstrations may highlight student projects, activities, or curriculum created for students or educators.

2. Mini-workshops http://call-is.org/ev/#workshops
Presentation Time: 90 minutes

This event only accepts proposals that are non-commercial and presents original work by the presenter. Unique features, functions, and content are required.

5. Classroom of the Future http://call-is.org/ev/#classroom

The Classroom will be located in the Exhibition Hall and will include a showcase of the future of classroom design, technology, and pedagogy. The sessions may reflect what might be already happening in classrooms across the globe, but have not gone mainstream yet. However, proposals that focus on what might be happening for ELT teaching 5 or 10 years from now are highly encouraged.

Hi all, here is the video we made at our last playdate Oct 22.
Hi all, here is the video we made at our last playdate Oct 22. I was able to make the stream happen though a YouTube watch page, but to do that I had to use XSplit encoder (OBS was not working with YouTube watch pages). I found that OBS at least sustained the stream whereas XSplit started fine from the watch page but was frequently dropping us out of Minecraft, which might have resulted in audio not syncing with video in this video. I haven't quite found the ideal encoder yet, still testing.
You can read more about this event here

Incidentally I can't make a playdate this Saturday, son visiting from Doha with his wife. The plan was to meet at 1300 on Oct 29. I will try to make the next playdate. Let us know when it will be.

Hi everyone, thanks to Rose Bard and Linda Gielen, who help me get around and stay alive each week, and Mircea Patrascu who makes the quests (modeling how a master can manage class activities in #Minecraft ) I'm getting better at the game, or more correctly, the toy, as Jeff Kuhn points out. But this evening I punched through my latest personal learning goal. I managed to figure out how to stream our #evomc17 events live, capturing virtual play along with voice.
Our next playdate will be livestreamed. I'll set the event in YouTube/Live, and invite you join us in world or just follow what we're up to in real time.
When watching YouTube videos, be sure and use the settings gear to play back in highest resolution. The default setting may be grainy.
