Wed 26 May 1400 UTC - TESOL CALL-IS webinar on EVO: 20 Years of Free Professional Development in Online Teaching/Learning for English Language Teachers Worldwide
What?
Christine Bauer-Ramazani is organizing a special celebration of the 20th anniversary of EVO sessions as a CALL-IS webinar, in conjunction with the Electronic Village Online's 20th anniversary.
This Special EVO 20th Anniversary Webinar features a panel of speakers that were instrumental in making EVO such a success over the last 20 years. As of 2020 EVO has trained almost 50,000 ELT professionals around the world! Critical in making this enormous feat of volunteerism happen are the EVO Co-founders and Lead Coordinators, who orchestrated the many activities carried out by the teams of EVO coordinators, some of whom have been with EVO for most of those years.
Who?
This special celebration of the 20th anniversary of EVO sessions features the 3 EVO Co-Founders, 10 former Lead Coordinators, and Vance Stevens on a panel of speakers. We would like to commend you for your energy, dedication, tenacity, and joy in this feat of volunteerism called EVO. It is important to highlight that you have been part and parcel of EVO’s success in hosting over 50,000 ELT professionals from around the world in our sessions.
When?
This is a special 20th anniversary Webinar hosted by TESOL on May 26, 9:00-10:30 am US EDT on “20 Years of Free Professional Development in Online Teaching/Learning for English Language Teachers Worldwide”

Vance's Presentation
|
Webheads
and EVO: Truly Lifelong Learning
|
I plan to show how a popular EVO session I organized in 2002 led to my becoming a coordinator of EVO in 2003 and nurtured a series of Communities of Practice which have persisted, sustained themselves, and involved quite a number of my professional colleagues in TESOL CALL-IS and in EVO to this very day. For more information, find the slides here http://bit.ly/EVO20Vance
|
Program on the day
There are 14 presenters in a 90-minute time frame.
In the first 20 minutes
- Christine will start with the purpose of the Webinar, an explanation of what EVO is, then introduce the EVO Coordinators
- Susan and Tom then talk about the founding of EVO,
- Christine gives a brief walk through history, including updates on the latest data on EVO participants and countries reached. I'm hoping this can be done in15-20 minutes.
Each presenter has 5 minutes to talk about main accomplishments during your tenure and possibly any recent endeavors in "free professional development in online English language teaching and learning worldwide."
All slides need to be combined into one slideshow to allow smooth transitions. Thus, slides/files should be uploaded to the EVO-20th-Anniversary-Webinar wiki page by May 16.
A request for the slides Please use our EVO 20th anniversary logo on your slides;
Since this is a TESOL Webinar, TESOL will record it. Based on our experience at the recent Virtual TESOL Convention, streaming is not possible for these TESOL events.
Christine Bauer-Ramazani posted on Facebook April 19, 2021 that she is p
roud of our EVO Coordination Team and what we accomplished this year as part of the 20th Anniversary of EVO sessions. While we were unable to fly the EVO-20 years flag at the TESOL Convention, it is here with us as a reminder of the over 50,000 English teachers that have joined EVO for free professional development worldwide over the last 20 years.
Christine posted to several myTESOL groups
The Electronic Village Online (EVO) is excited to invite you to a special TESOL Webinar to celebrate the 20th anniversary of EVO sessions, the first 10 online/distance sessions held in 2001. During the pandemic, the 19 EVO 20th anniversary sessions held in January/February 2021 were especially pertinent to the 2,682 participating English teachers from 71 countries worldwide.
Presenting will be the three co-founders of EVO, Christine Bauer-Ramazani, Tom Robb, Susan Gaer, as well as the 11 lead coordinators of EVO--Dafne Gonzalez, Aiden Yeh / JoAnn Miller (Co-Coordinators), Carla Arena, Nina Liakos, Mbarek Akaddar, Nellie Deutsch, Carolina Buitrago, Martha Ramirez, and Vance Stevens--all known authorities in CALL and TESOL. They will address their contributions to EVO as well as their latest endeavors in the area of online teaching and learning.

bio note (51 words; if you need just 50 words, delete the word TESOL below ),
Vance Stevens hosts the podcast seriesLearning2gether with over 515 episodes. He founded the CoPWebheads in Action in 2002 and has coordinated TESOL CALL-IS Electronic Village Online since 2003, He has been lead moderator of EVO Minecraft MOOC since 2015. He received the 2019 CALL Research Conference Lifetime Achievement Award.
Title of talk
Revisiting learning about blended & hybrid eLearning through engagement in communities of practice
abstract (75 words max. )
Participation in CoPs is critical for ongoing teacher professional development. Drawing from experience coordinating teachers’ CoPs for the past 20 years, the presenter illustrates the evolution of groups into CoPs, as well as how CoPs interact in distributed personal learning networks, continually leveraging participant’s PD and modeling ways to be applied later in teaching practices. This strongly suggests that teachers must be trained not only in the use of social media, but through its use.

The topics for presentation are as follows: Curriculum Development, supplementary materials, autonomous learning, online material design, teaching material adaptation, personalized learning, special needs of students, etc.
Tue 01 June 2300 UTC IDEA informal networking session
Sharon Tjaden-Glass deserves kudos for setting up these sessions. Not only does she share the live event announcement but she provides a link to a YouTube playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLqYX_uge5bz_lE2Csu1G2yoABHo1M4Jy where the recordings of these sessions will end up, and you can see videos from the sessions that have gone before. That's a great IDEA. It's what I do with all my presentations, and it's a model I wish that others would follow as a matter of course.
Are you an educator who is experiencing teacher burnout? Are you seriously considering another career path that builds on your current skills as a TESOL professional? Ever heard of "instructional design?"
Please join us for one or all of our informal networking sessions between instructional designers and educators, known as IDEA Networking (Instructional Designers and Educators Alliance.) Since August 2020, we have welcomed 30+ current instructional designers--who were once educators--to share their stories of how the moved from the field of education into the field of instructional design. Each session begins with 20 minutes of guest speakers, 25 minutes of breakout room with guest speakers, and 15 minutes of whole group Q & A.
We will have three sessions over the summer on the following dates:
Tuesday, June 1st, 7-8 p.m. EST: Registration Link
Tuesday, July 6th, 7-8 p.m. EST: Registration Link
Tuesday, August 3rd, 7-8 p.m. EST: Registration Link
Agendas with the names of guest speakers for each session will be emailed to registrants several days prior to the event. All sessions are free and recordings will be shared with registrants who are unable to attend live.
You can also watch recording of previous sessions at this link.

June 3-5 MELTA in Penang Cancelled
I don't know if this one has been rescheduled
I submitted an abstract in Feb, 2020 and received an aknowledgement via Google Forms
How to teach English through computational thinking without having to know coding
The workshop seeks to show how language skills can be developed when the focus of a lesson is not necessarily on the language itself but more on tasks involving using English communicatively and thoughtfully. Many students and teachers realize that some knowledge of coding is an essential skill in the modern workplace, and are therefore receptive to learning more about it. The presenter gives examples of language teachers who integrate computational thinking and even coding into their language classes to promote the 21st century skills of critical and creative thinking, analysis, and problem solving, in addition to the more obviously language-related skills of collaboration and communication stimulated by information gaps and having to articulate algorithmic processes with acceptable fluency. The workshop introduces and guides participants through simple activities using step-by-step approaches, presented in accessible terminology, that can clarify for them this relationship between computational thinking and language development. The activities are set out in handouts that participants can use during the workshop and with students later in class. The activities require neither a computer nor prior knowledge of programming, only the instructions on the handouts, and participants will be pointed to repositories of many more such resources online.

Presentation Title: An analysis of two decades of EVO moderators’ decisions on platforms facilitating online distributed learning
(paper, 25 minutes or longer)
Abstract (149 words):
EVO moderators have been conducting free and open online 5-week workshops in January-February every year since 2001. The all-volunteer moderators of these workshops must choose a platform for mounting each session, and the choices made of suitable online tools to best accomplish their goals can be instructive for colleagues wishing to host their own online courses and communities online.
The recent loss of Google+ Communities, Yahoo! Groups, and other online platforms heavily used by educators for facilitating online communities of practice has impacted Electronic Village Online moderators and their ability to find robust, stable, free, and open platforms for hosting projects promoting collaborative and shared learning in distributed CoPs.
This presentation analyses decisions made by EVO moderators over the 20 years that EVO has been in existence, and the choices they have made in coming up with serviceable tools despite the occasional sudden loss of many of these platforms.

More about Learning2gether
Currently (August 2020) we are webcasting mostly in Zoom
Blackboard Collaborate is still generously provided to us by Learning Times.
Where: Blackboard Collaborate (Elluminate)
Won't you help out by volunteering to give us a presentation?
Send a short blurb and the date requested to vancestev at gmail.com, or request to join this wiki -
(to avoid spam annoyances, those requesting access are added as readers who can leave comments;
but if you make known your desire to present, get in touch with us, and we will gladly make you a writer)
Would you like to host an event?
Finding out what's on
At the moment people wishing to see what’s coming up on L2G can visit these links, http://learning2gether.net to start with, and from there be linked to http://learning2gether.pbworks.com
From there you can reach the direct link to our next session:
http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/32206114/volunteersneeded#Nextupcomingevents
This is where people expect to see events posted. We also try and post announcements
to various Facebook communities,
and tweet them on #learning2gether
You can also check on the Webheads list (anyone can view messages, they are public)
Once you know what and when, finding the events
If the event is in Elluminate, you can easily join it at http://webheads.learningtimesevents.org/
If the event is in a Hangout, we normally post direct links to the hangout against its date on this page and at
http://webheadsinaction.org/live
Google+ communities is no more unfortunately
What if you want to host an event
If you want to initiate a Learning2gether event, you can join the wiki at http://learning2gether.pbworks.com, and when you are a Writer, you can write your details there. However, alert Vance Stevens (vancestev at my gmail address) what your attentions are. When I get requests to join the wiki from people I don't know and who have not contacted me before, I approve them, but as readers on the wiki.
Up to now, anyone wishing to place an event on our calendar needs to join the wiki. If I recognize the person (I know them or they emailed their intentions to vancestev at gmail.com) then I will give writer privileges on the wiki (otherwise, in order to keep spam off the wiki, I grant reader privileges). As of this writing (May 2019) there are 225 users with reader or writer privileges at our wiki. The increase in the past couple of years has been at the rate of about 1 every two weeks.
There are a couple of other considerations when planning.
Anyone can start and record a Hangout and harvest its YouTube video embed (I used to use Any Video Converter to get an mp3 from that but I am unaware of any such converters at present that are both free and trustworthy).
We also have available Blackboard Collaborate, which we fondly still call Elluminate, available to us on an ongoing grant from http://learningtimes.com. If you wish to use this venue you should reserve it by creating an entry at http://my.calendars.net/eslhome_conferen

If you would like to present an event or host a discussion please let Vance know. Write vancestev at gmail.com
Here's a possibility, posted on https://www.facebook.com/groups/evomlit/
(Ozma might present this when she starts doctoral studies next year :-)
Events archive
Once an event has happened, its archive gets moved to http://learning2gether.net, a podblog managed by Vance Stevens.
This is done in this way:
An entry pointing to the archive is made in the wiki index:
http://learning2gether.pbworks.com/w/page/34456755/archiveindex
Whatever artifacts there were at the wiki as well as any recordings made are placed in the blog at http://learning2gether.net
The blog has a podcast feed. You can find the RSS icon at our About tab

Vance and others, is there anything scheduled for Sept. 1-2? If not, how about a PLN, show and tell? Each participant does a screen share demonstrating and explaining the "what", "how", "why", etc. of current web tools, communities, personal contacts, etc. that contribute to one's professional learning? What do others think?

Sounds like a plan there Ben! It just needs movers and shakers :-) Let's bring our communities to bear on it, Sept 1, 2nd, or both ...

Hi Marouf, this is the right wiki if you want to give a presentation or host a discussion here. What did you want to do here?

Dear Vance Stevens
I am happy to be able to join such splendid community. Maria Colussa told me about it.
If there is some discussion related to gamification, game based learning, inmersive environments or minecraft in education, I would be very happy to participate and learn. I coordinated a research published in Educational Tehcnology and Society. (JCR-Q2): http://www.ifets.info/journals/18_3/9.pdf so I am very enthusiastic with the topic. Thanks again for everything

Hi José-Manuel,
Great to hear from you. I coordinated a session on Minecraft for educators last Jan / Feb and will do so again in 2016, https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/112993649763396826671. We could welcome your participation and perhaps you could come online one Sunday around 1400 GMT (give or take an hour or two) and tell us more about your research Find our schedule here http://tinyurl.com/learning2gether - just find a Sunday that's free and we'd love to meet you online.
