NEW ERA TEACHING & LEARNING

"a Professional Learning Potluck to share examples of best practice in online teaching and learning"

17-24 Sep. 2010 

I heard about this course from Sharon Betts, a dear colleague and Webhead friend. Its purpose, "to bring educators from across the world to 'show and tell' their successful online practices bringing together innovative and personalized uses of technology", got me on the bandwagon. Sharing what I know and have done is one of the things I love doing.

I decided to take part in the course (I'm a lifelong learner, as you all are, I'm sure) and also give a short presentation on work I carried out with my 5th-6th grade (1st-2nd year) EFL students from 2005-2007, which may give colleagues ideas. The presentation has to do with a curricular blog and Web 2.0 tools.

I'll make a short intro first and will then show a few examples of blended lessons an activities from the CALL Lessons 2005-2007 blog, which I'm very proud to say won the EU Schoolnet e-Learning Awards 2007, Gold Prize in the category of "School of the Future".
