Just a quick update to let you know that we will be moving our site to a new provider this week and we may experience some downtime. We are making the move in order to provide more comprehensive services to you and make sure our website has the type of functionality we would like to offer you.

If the site goes down, it should be back up and running soon. Sorry for any trouble this may cause you.

Regards,

CT SIG Executive Board

Looking forward to Tsukuba! We are excited to have three very interesting presentations at our forum at JALT 2014. Keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming CT Scan with more information about the presenters.

We will be looking for articles soon for our very first CT SIG Journal. We will release more information about the submital requirements on this site soon.

There are a lot of things happening and we want our members to have a chance to be a part of it!

If you have time, please head over to the livestream site and log in with your account. You can see the videos we took there. The first video was at an odd angle but the second one looks much better. The audio is fine and we hope you can join us again the next time we live stream an event.

Looking toward the future, we are excited about the CT forum in Tsukuba. This November should be a great event with a lot of interesting and useful ideas. Keep tabs on this page for the most up to date information on the happenings of the SIG.

We hope to have photos of the Nara event and the Miyazaki event up soon. Bear with us as we get them together and I will post them as soon as they are available.
