ELTjam exists to promote innovation and experimentation in the ELT industry, and to explore the question "What 's next for ELT?" We are Nick Robinson, Laurie Harrison and Tim Gifford. We created the eltjam.com blog to champion the free exchange of expertise, skills and innovative ideas between ELT professionals. This is where we share ELT-relevant news, reviews and opinions on EdTech, gaming, mobile and online learning, publishing and learning. We invite contributions from publishers, teachers, authors, game developers, EdTech entrepreneurs and anyone else who is driven to identify how things can be done better.
