A wonderful few days working with teachers from Technical University of Košice, Slovakia about how to design and run #VirtualExchange projects with partners of the Ulysseus European University. Wonderful to see how they offer seed funding to support online collaboration between partners.

A brilliant first day at the TEFL9 conference in Lisbon. I was amazed by the number of language teachers who are now doing #VirtualExchange in their classes. Some excellent presentations about the topic too. lnkd.in/d9vyd_5q
