Summary of the #ELTResources discussion with Diane Ramanathan

On November 20, 2020 we gathered on twitter to discuss English Language Teaching resources with Diane Ramanathan. Diane is the Tutela outreach coordinator as well as a @LINCHomeStudy instructor and TESL professor at @AlgonquinCollege.  In her free time she can be seen in Ottawa paddling up the Rideau with a merry band of friends.

These questions guided our 1-hour long chat:

1- What is your favourite source for online learning materials?

2- What is your go to place to source for workplace materials?

3- How would you rate your knowledge of copyright?

4- What materials are you using to teach about COVID?

5- What types of resources do you have difficulty finding?
