Retired from Univesidad Industrial de Santander, Bucaramanga (Colombia) where - during 30 years - I taught french and training the trainers to use ICTs in distance education.
Between 2002 and 2009 I was the coordinator of different virtual courses for teachers...
My first participation in BAW was in 2003... I continue to register in order to learn what is new with ICTs, to meet teachers from around the world and look at their reactions with the use of ICTs.
BAW is a great workshop; coordinated by great persons and moderated by colleagues who were students during the last sessions.

Hello and good day. My name is Anke. I am a German teacher currently living and working in Slovenia. By training I am a teacher of English and have worked as such for over 10 years in Germany, before taking up this position abroad. Now I am teaching German to Slovenian high school students - a new experience.

I am sorry for not leaving a picture or an email here, but this page is openly visible and I am a little cautious with my data. However, I sure hope to be meeting you during the course of baw2011 and hope to be learning a lot!

Hi, everyone! I come from Croatia, but live in NZ where I have taught ESOL and French for the past ten years. I have BA in Literature, English and French, MA in TESOL, currently working on PhD in applied linguistics.  All my teaching experience has been f2f, but I am very interested in the application of web tools in language teaching. BaW-09 inspired me to start a wiki with my French ex-class at Mt Albert Grammar School www.tiare.pbworks.com. Now would like to “revise” many of the wonderful things I learnt two years ago but haven’t used and probably have forgotten. Great to be here again J)

My name is Claudia and I teach English in Uruguay. This is my 4th time here. I hope to share experience and ideas with teachers from around the world and learn more about blended and distance teaching and learning. 

My students have been working mainly with blogs, online exercises and e-mail projects.

I have a Bachelor in TESOL ( University of London) and run my own small language school where students mainly prepare Cambridge and Trinity exams. Let's enjoy the course!

I strongly believe that educational technologies enhance lessons and help students in all age and language level groups. That’s why I have joined you for the third time - to learn how to make my teaching both more interesting and benefitting for my students.

Looking forward to learning and sharing in this marvelous group,

Sanja

I've been a Webhead since 2002, but I was really busy teaching for 3 years and then moving last year. Thus I got way behind on the latest technologies we can use with students, and I'm looking forward to exploring them. I most recently taught in community college in Arizona, USA, and at Zayed University in the United Arab Emirates. I retired about a year ago.

I have been working as an EFL teacher for more than 30 years in the secondary school in the remote village of the Republic of Sakha-Yakutia . My land is situated in the Russian Eastern Siberia. We live on the Permafrost.

I have to enrich my mastership and enhance my skills. Teaching a foreign language to a teenager  in the neck-of-the-woods  worth studing the Web 2.0 tools.

I am afraid I`ll be able to participate the workshops of the asynchronous mode  only because of our slow and inflexible Internet.
