Arrival
Coming back to NILE brought back a lot of memories which had been buried somewhere at the bottom of my memory. Before I came to Norwich, I didn't seem to be able to remember much about the topography of the city. Walking to NILE, however, triggered all the interred images and put them into the foreground of my mind again.Classes
What did we do? Russell made us - the six participants from four different countries - get to know each other with an image spider on paper.We were then introduced to Blended Learning when we discussed different definitions of the term. It turned out that we have to differentiate between technology-enhanced learning and real Blended Learning which has a component of in-class-activities and home activities closely related to them.

TodaysMeet
We used a website called TodaysMeet which allows students to make written contributions to an ongoing discussion, brainstorming or any other activity in class. All the texts can be projected on the screen for everybody to see.TTV
Luckily, Russell runs a website with videos that explain all the technologies we are learning.http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/sharing-discussing/todaysmeet.html
