Work through the lecture introducing video chat tools, and consider the different devices and media skills that you can use to liven up your lessons. In the following worksheet, I will give you some suggestions of useful tools you can use to work with your students. Choose your favourite as your Plan A, then make notes about how you will create that all-important Plan B.

You need a Plan B because:
