I'm a retired EFL teacher, but once a teacher, always a teacher. I'm also a lifelong learner and a teacher trainer both f2f and online. I've been a Webhead since Jan. 2002 and have learned immensely with this fabulous online community of practice along the years. I will be coordinating and moderating with Dafne and a great group of mods our 7th round of Becoming a Webhead. You'll find most of my work, my teacher-student blogs and activities for students at my website under School.

I'm joining this group because I like technology and teaching is continuously changing and adding new tools. Web 2.0, CMC tools are basic for learners today and part of their lives. I hope I can finally get students to use as many tools as they can to learn better. 

I am fascinated by Web 2.0 and I am particularly interested in blogging. This is my third BaW. Every year I learn something new and meet great people.

I am Tatiana Kobzina (Tanya) from Russia / Moscow. I teach English at university. I’d like to be in the know of the recent studies in the area of e-learning tools to make my classes more dynamic. I believe implementing e-technologies  plays a crucial role in shaping students' ideas and expressing themselves on a variety of issues. It’s great to be part of teachers’ international community and share ideas with peers.

Hello everybody! Nice to meet you all!

My name is Sheila Passos but you can call me Shee. My yahoo ID is sheellahh. I work at two language institutes in Brasília: CIL (CIL is a public school where only languages are taught) and Cooplem, which is a cooperative of language teachers. At CIL I’m a teacher and at Cooplem I’ve been managing the department of technology. Such department deals only with the physical part, but I’ve been trying to be involved with technology in a more pedagogical sense. I love technology and I am fascinated with what it can do for us and for students who are learning a language. It is not easy to use technology when the school doesn’t provide us with the basic tools but I really think CMC can work miracles in students’ engagement and motivation. I’m finishing a post graduation course in English teaching. I joined this group because I want to learn more so that I can improve my teaching. I believe I can enrich my classes and my expectations are really high because I could feel people’s involvement in the kickoff session. Everybody is really collaborative and it is wonderful to know people all over the world are interested in teaching, learning and collaborating.

Hi! My name's María Luján Dolabarás and I'm a 33-year-old graduate EFL teacher from Bahía Blanca, an important city in the south of Buenos Aires province. I've been working in this field for 12 years so far, teaching all levels both at public schools and private academies. I'm currently working at a technical school, E.E.T. Nº2. I'm deeply interested in the use of ITC in the classrooms, and have been experimenting with blogs for two years. Last year I took part in EVO's Blog based lessons and E-portfolios, and this is the outcome of that wonderful experience: http://construccionesweb20efl.blogspot.com/ and http://web20intheeflclassroom.blogspot.com/. I've learnt so much working on these blogs, but at the same time,  I know very little and  that's why I'm looking forward to learn from you all and sharing what I know!!!

I am no longer teaching face-to-face, but I'm still passionate about children's literacy and literature. So I reach out to parents and teachers via my blog.  

I am fascinated by technology and what it can do for us all.  

My expectations are that I will learn more here that I can share with my blog readers, that I will make new friends, and that I will have fun. What more can I ask for?

I live in Ayacucho, a small town in the Andes of Peru.  I teach in different institutions.  I have only just got an internet connection and I'm keen to see how technology can help improve my classes.  I'd also like to connect with like-minded professionals.
