How-To - CTJConnected

The Ed Tech Monitors have set the main goals for this semester:

• Give tech support to teachers and encourage even more of us to become content creators
• Give tech support to teachers who are in the process of turning themselves into Educational Technology users

Never have we had such a great response from this wonderful crowd of educators in relation to the technological field. It has been some years now that we´ve had a team working for CTJ, but the time has come. Now, everybody sees the importance of adding this digital element into their lesson plans. It´s not a matter of being a "cool" teacher or even a "digital" one, but it´s about relevance, content, and connecting our students to the world. It´s about showing how relevant English is in a connected world.

So, here´s our deal. We start this blog to be our open channel, a place where we connect, ask and share. The Ed Tech Team and any of our teachers can be bloggers here to give a tip, to share a cool resource, or to tell us about a nice lesson plan.

Well, we start with a tutorial on how to use our CTJConnected wiki. Enjoy! And we´re waiting for your feedback.

Be a little patient to load the video.

Hi Guys!

We are Carla and Erika, CTJ teachers and Technology enthusiasts. We love to look for new applications of technological resources to the classroom.

We invite you to join us on the Web 2.0 and experience all our excitement of using online tools with our students and partners around the world!

During this workshop we will only give you a taste of what is out there!

How about you? What kind of online tools have you been using?
