== = Welcome to the Open Tuesdays! =

//"C'est à plusieurs qu'on apprend tout seul"//
Please let me know what you would like to share with us by filling out this table: it could be an article, a book, a workshop you attended, a question you want to raise and discuss etc... Let's keep it short, meaningful, so that we have space for discussion. Everyone should leave with a concret idea/project to implement in their classroom. If needed, we can have "follow up sessions".
