British Council Online Courses

Half a year ago , when I was about to give birth, I got an e-mail from British Council in which I was informed that British Coucil opens several online courses and I can participate. The courses  fee wasn't very high , each one was about 50 euro, today is about 100 euro each. I took two courses, one is Learning Technologies and the second one is Primary Essentials. I found both courses very useful for me as they gave me much knowledge and a lot of ideas to think about. The fact that I studied together with the teachers from different parts of the word and the cooperation between us was great makes me reccomend  to participate in these courses each person reading  this post
