European students got together in another wonderful studentsmeet that took place online on 24 April in Adobe Connect Pro which was sponsored by Croatian CARNET. Our wonderful hosts were again Bart from Belgium and Arjana from Croatia. This time there were students from 6 countries Italy, Hungary, Poland, UK, Turkey and Croatia, and 9 schools. It is great to mention that Croatia was represented by 3 schools; IX. Gimnazija from Zagreb, Gimnazija Bernardina Frankopana from Ogulin and Primary School from Cakovec.
Our school Gimnazija Bernardina Frankopana took part for the second time. Check out the video.
If you want to read more about the first studentsmeet you can find the post on our school page here.
The main topics were about students' countries and volunterism. We learned a lot about Italy, Hungary,Poland, Polish school system, but we also learned that in order to get together and live in peace and harmony we should break down the walls. Presentations varied from a video, power point or even a song. It was a great experience for both students and their teachers.

Zondle games
My son loves Zondle. He saw his mummy attending an online webinar about creating Zondle games and posibility of creating interesting quizzes.
I am still trying to figure this tool out, but if my 6 year old likes it, it must be good.
I will write more about it later, so far here is the simple vocabulary quiz I created so he can play with eggs and chickens.

IATEFL Conference! Where,how, who?
 |
| Following online! |
Today is the last day of the IATEFL Conference which started on 19th March in Scotland, Glasgow.
The IATEFL team is really doing an excellent job this year making it easy for all of us who are not
there to at least be present online and to try and follow some Live sessions and livestreamed interviews with the presenters and wonderful ELT members. All the interviews are recorded and can be found here.
It's great to see ELT members having a talk about their work or presentations. There are some really inspiring interviews. The first one that really made an impact on me was the interview with Chia Suan. The name was very familiar from the ELT world. I know I have seen the name on Twitter or Facebook, have heard the PLN mentioning her, so I finally got the opportunity to see her on the IATEFL Live Stream Channell. She is so interesting, amusing and to the point.
She has done a talk at BESIG PCE about the topic of Politeness and Pragmatics. So, check it out and also don't miss her blog where you can find another of her interviews talking about the same topic.
I am glad to be able to share her interview with you.

I mustn't forget to mention that after her short IATEFL interview I visited Chiew's IASKU site. He did a short interview with Chia about how she became a teacher. What I realised from that interview is that teachers can be anything in the class. We are actors, dramatist, bosses and sometimes even friends. I can finally tell my students who told me so many times that I should have become an actress and not a teacher; well I can do both now at the same time :)))
Due to illness I wasn't able to write more posts before but will make it up, so stay tuned because more stories about IATEFL and the Power of Twitter coming soon.
