Dates coming up
Our next teleseminar is tomorrow July 25th (next Monday) at 12.00.
After that we meet on August 29th.
I’ve kept the dates lean in the summer because of holidays and I’ve done the same in Dec/Jan.
Need help with anything?
If anybody else needs help with anything just post in the forum, or on twitter or email me or message in Gapfillers. I am really pleased that you are using the forum – it’s becoming a buzzy place.
The recordings
I have the recordings of all the sessions so far and am trying to get these uploaded into the Gapfillers ELTMentor space. I’ve had several failed attempts but have now got the techie guys on to it so we should be able to do this soon.
In the meantime you can access the Wiziq ones on the Wiziq site and I will try and email the first one to you all.
Sorry for the delay.
Until next week
