The Internet is fortunately no longer an arena that only few computer-savvy individuals can visit -- instead, it is becoming a friendlier and friendlier locale for teachers of Young Learners. Join Caroline Linse for a webchat focused on helping YL teachers become more aware of the types of Web sites they could find useful. During the webchat, participants will discuss sites ranging from those that can help teachers figure out what to do on Monday morning, to sites that can make it easier to address special needs that Young Learners may have.
