Tips and Tricks for the Successful Online Teaching Environment

Throughout week 5, we have been thinking and discussing together at the EVO sessions Tips & Tricks EVO session and Oral Skills & Technology ways to improve some of our old or current work for pure online or face-to-face and online teaching and learning courses/extensions/ projects for our EFL/ESL classrooms, everywhere in the globe. Today, the focus is on the third type of blended teaching which I preferred to refer to as Web 2.0 teaching and learning approach. The aim is to think together on ways we can make the smooth transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 to share some of the tips and tricks that would help us create effective, connected learning network/environments.
