I'm a retired EFL teacher and currently an online and f2f teacher trainer in Web 2.0 tools. I taught English for 33 years at most levels. I live and work from home in a small town in the suburbs of Lisbon, Portugal.

Hello everyone! I'm Catherine and I live in Grenoble, France - right next to the beautiful French Alps.

I have taught EFL for many years in France bit I come from the north-west of England and I love going back to the UK when I can. I teach in engineering universities but I like to do some in-business and 'fun' adult classes to keep up a good variety of teaching.

I started with BAW last year and was immediately impressed by what other teachers were doing all over the world. Scared to join in, I soon made some good friends with whom I often sat up until very late trying to find the right buttons to press. It was all challenging but such an eye-opener! And we did often succeed in the tasks! I look forward to doing the same with you all soon!

Hi Everyone.  I am an American living in Japan. My husband and I have a small English school.  We teach all ages, but mainly children.  Our students come to us one time a week for English lessons.  A couple years ago I started getting interested in integrating tech into my school and lessons, so I am always on the look out for good PD.  I love online learning because I live in a rural area with very few opportunities for traditional PD activities.  I love to see where everyone is from and learn about what other English teachers are doing all over the world.  Thanks for offering the course.  I'm looking forward to it.

My name’s Debbie. I'm a passionate EFL teacher in Buenos Aires, Argentina.  I teach f2f and online. Technology plays an important role in the class; students get more motivated and enthusiastic when they can use some technology. I have been infected by the "I can" bug, and as it is so contagious my students are slowly but consistently getting infected, regardless of their age.

I strongly believe in the power of social networks, I actively and enthusiastically study to develop as a teacher. So, I am looking forward to becoming a Webhead to continue learning about better ways to create memorable learning moments.

Hi,

business school and I teach General and Business English to adult clients. I would like to join the group to meet other Webheads and to

within a group wiki. I'm also very interested in creating interactive exercises.

Thanks,

I am a teacher of English in Argentina, my L1 is Spanish.  I´m currently learning how to incorporate international collaboration, cooperation and sharing among teachers all around the world, and the way I´m doing it is helping teachers-friends with whaterver it is that they need, eg. videos, or exercises, or pictures.  I´m brand new to many tools especially wikis!! That´s why I tend to spend a lot of time in front of the computer trying to figure out things, since I´m a computer immigrant.  Looking forward to learning and sharing with this new group of educators!

I joined the Webheads in 2002. Since then, I've taught in Arizona, USA, and in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I retired and moved back to Arizona in 2010. I've gotten rusty in my online skills, so I joined this session to get more up to date.

Hi, I am Sneza, an English teacher from Belgrade, Serbia. I have been teaching adults for more than 20 years, I first joined BaW last year not because I loved technology, like everybody else, but because I was scared of it and because my best friend had finally persuaded me this was the best place to be converted. How right she was! I can`t possibly imagine a better place to learn, with so much help from coordinators, moderators and other friends with who I  shared the quest for the right button! It doesn`t happen often that you completely change your views on something so crucial  so I decided to write about it in my blog  http://www.digitalsealogbook.blogspot.com/ . This year I can say I am here because I love technology but I love even more  BaW spirit,  the wonderful, extraordinary people I meet here!

Hi, everyone. I am Heidi Kotun Dawes from Upstate New York, and it is COLD right now!  I coordinate a very small ESL department at Elmira College, and have only this year begun to incorporate technology tools in my classes. My favorite collaborative tool at present is Google Docs because everyone can work at the same time without worrying about "breaking the lock". I am eager to become part of a larger network of educators on a similar path of exploration.

My name is Anzhelika Vladyko. I live in Yekaterinburg, Russia’s fourth biggest city located in the Ural Mountains. I’ve been teaching since 1991 and have experience of teaching all ages. I currently teach 8 and 9 grades at school.

I’m interested in meeting colleagues from all over the world to involve students into more projects using technology and also integrating technology into my classroom and online teaching.
