Today on 19 October the new technology group met at the English Teaching Resource Center (JCD ETRC)
at the English Department of National University of "Kyiv-Mohyla Academy in order to present an overview of their projects to members of the group.

I told the participants about the idea of creating Students' blogs-portfolios and the first steps of my students. Ms Savchenko told about topic blogs she would like to create with her students.
