12. The idea: Origins (iii)…
How to bring the class ON-LINE?
 Ask the experts in Twitter!!
 But:
- Do all students have Twitter accounts? – No.
- English is not „the language“ in the classroom
- Video, Hangout and the like: several hours difference
Alternative:
 Prepare questions OFF-LINE!!
 Teamwork in the classroom!!
