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. In January 2002, I joined the Webheads in Action for the EVOnline 8-week teacher development workshop - yes, back then it was 8 weeks!!! - and since then I've been actively involved in the cyberworld of education! I've been coordinator and moderator of BaW with Dafne González since 2004. It's the longest-running EVO workshop celebrating its "10th Anniversary" this year. So far we've reached 2800 colleagues in 104 countries. I also co-moderate with Dafne the TESOL Principles and Practices Certificate Program course "Teaching Vocabulary and Grammar Online". You're welcome to visit my website and get in touch with me at teresadeca-at-gmail.com . YahooMessenger: teca2002pt Skype: teresadeca Twitter: teresadeca SL: Tere Short |

I'm delighted and excited about taking part in this marathon of EVO courses for the first time. I've been teaching privately in São Paulo, Brazil, for over 20 years now. My biggest challenge with the constant globalized and tech world is to be up-to-date with the latest and cutting edge online teaching resources with the Web 2.0 tools. Therefore, my participation in the BAW2013. I teach BE both online and f2f, and I try to engage my private students into some blog participation: www.thecreativeenglishlearning.blogspot.com , as well as offering some resources on my site: www.creativeenglishlearning.com.br .I'll be glad to learn and exchange ideas and experience with all of the participants. Look forward to it. A great 2013 to all of you!

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! Yahoo ID: catherine.boissier Skype: catherine.boissier |

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.

Hello everyone, |
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, My name is Maria Ossei. I'm from London but I live in Saint-Etienne, France where I work as a freelance English teacher. I teach in a business school and I teach General and Business English to adult clients.

I would specifically like to learn how my students can create individual wikis within a group wiki. I'm also very interested in creating interactive exercises. Thanks, Maria |
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!

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! Yahoo ID: sneza.filipovic Skype: sneza.filip7 |
