Dear all,
As of today, Gary Motteram is the new Learning Technologies SIG Coordinator.
I have completed my term but will remain with the SIG committee for another year helping out wherever necessary. I have also taken on other duties within IATEFL and I'm sure I will be in touch with everyone.
My two years as the SIG Coordinator have been really full. We've had nine successful events, in places ranging from India, China and Japan to Milan and the UK, thus assisting the SIG to better establish its international character. We've had numerous issues of our CALL Review, LT SIG travel grants, a transition to an e-newsletter, a revamped website and preparation of two publications which will be ready to reach you in a few months.
I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it all and have had the opportunity to meet many wonderful colleagues and forged meaningful friendships. I would like to thank all of you for making this such a successful time. I also owe thanks to the great group of people who make up the LT SIG committee and with whom I have been very lucky to work with during my term as Coordinator.
I will always be happy to hear from any one of you so do keep in touch.
Very best wishes and lots of smiles
Sophie Ioannou-Georgiou
