Movie man Joe Dale

Zapp, Sizzle, Pop,Buzz! The air was electric with creativity, fun and productivity when Joe Dale revisited WA for a series of workshops on using ICT to enhance teaching and learning in the languages classroom. As a sequel to his March 2013 workshops on creating podcasts and other audio resources, Joe inspired and empowered his °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï workshop participants to plan, shoot and edit their own live action and stop-frame animation movies. Joe was in Perth at the start of an Australia wide tour, that includes the AFMLTA biennial conference, spreading the word and developing teachers' capabilities in harnessing computer technologies for language learning.Visit  and follow him on Twitter .
