I used to work as an EFL teacher, but am now working as a Learning Technology Development Officer @ the University of Salford. And all of that thanks to my dear Webheads fellows. I have learned so much with this wonderful Community and made just great friends, that I truly feel a Webhead - in body and soul! I used to involve students in ICT activities. Currently I help academic staff in the efficient use of edu-technology. I believe technology can help educators to develop more efficient strategies to involve students in learning situations, provided they don't try to replace the humanware with the software! :-) Warm Greeting from a Portuguese in the UK! http://knowmansland.com

I would like to welcome everyone to this great community. This is my third year as a Webhead, and I am happy to be a co-moderator for the second time. Each time I learn so much, and meet so many wonderful people. I teach both English and French, and am currently living in Japan. I look forward to another extraordinary learning experience.

I joined Webheads in Action in 2002 moved by Teresa's contagious enthusiasm and I've learned a lot since then. I've been teaching EFL for 34 years and have been coordinator and responsible for several ICT projects at my school. I enjoy producing educational resources and integrating technology and the Internet in classes. I was a co-moderator last year and I am happy to be with this group again. I hope to learn a lot with you and share some of the things I've learned so far. I started a blog for my students this year: http://myonlineclass.edublogs.org

I joined BaW in 2006 for the first time and I am so pleased to being a part of this family. I am from a tiny country called "Tajikistan". I am from Isfara town, currently living in Dushanbe. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Education is my top interest. After University graduation in 2002, I started working as an EFL teacher at school and later in 2004 joined RISOL Global Connections and Exchange Program in Tajikistan in which I am currently working as an Education Coordinator.

I am a Brazilian living and teaching in Brasília, our capital. I consider myself quite lucky to live in such a wonderful city and in this great country. I have been an EFL instructor for almost 20 years now. I took part in BaW07 and was the luckiest person in the world to be part of such a wonderful group of people. My first experience with EVO was in 2006 and since then I have been a big fan of the event and recommend to everyone I have a chance to. I love technology and as such I am a big fan of blogs, wikis, and podcasts. I love spending a great deal of my time creating things on the web and interacting with my peer teachers or students. One of the things I like about learning on the web is how accelerated it can be. I look forward to sharing some of the things I have learned and learning much more with you all.

I'm Kat Urbaniak and I'm a Scot living in Canada. I'm an EFL and Business English instructor and first took part in BAW 2 years ago. As a 'techie' before becoming a teacher, and a blogger for the last 7 year, I love technology (most of the time) and am an advocate of Blended Learning. I look forward to learning with all of you. :-) Kat. Email: yellowsmock@yahoo.co.uk YM: yellowsmock. Skype: katurbaniak. Website: www.katurbaniak.com

I'm delighted to be part of this fantastic group, this time as a moderator for week 3. I am Brazilian and although I have a degree in Journalism, I have been an EFL teacher in Belo Horizonte for the past 20 years, teaching mostly intermediate and advanced students. I joined BAW last year and you can't imagine how much I've learned (and still do!) from this incredibly supportive community. Working with technology is a relatively recent thing in my professional life and now I'm really enthusiastic about it. I wish you all have a great time here! Monica (blog: ProjectPlatypus)

I am very happy to be here with you. I am from La Plata, Argentina. I am an EFL teacher who enjoys exploring and using Internet tools for personal and professional purposes. In 2007 I learned a lot and made many Internet friends with BaW07 experience, and this year I have the pleasure of being part of the co-moderators team. I hope you will enjoy this session. If you want to know about my achievements on the web, have a look at my blog: http://englishvirtualcommunity.blogspot.com

I'm an American living in Portugal and have been teaching English for more than a decade. My first BaW initiation was in 2005 and since then I have enjoyed integrating the skills that I have learned into my teaching practice. My teaching has taken a "interesting" turn as I was recently employed by an international school as a technology teacher. It just goes to show you that the journey you are on can take an delightfully unexpected detour! Welcome aboard/back and I'm happy that we will be sharing our time, experience, and knowledge.

I'm happy and excited to be here. I’m from Nova Gorica, Slovenia. I have been teaching English at a small local college (Tehnični šolski center Nova Gorica) for the last 4 years. I started exploring technologies in teaching 2 years ago, when I took my first BaW. It was unforgettable and importantly influenced my teaching and learning. I came back for more last year and am here again now for round 3. I look forward to learning with all of you. My blog

It is a pleasure to work with you during BAW08. I have been in education for over 30 years. Each of those years has brought me new ideas and challenges. I have taught at Iran Dokht, a girls' high school in Iran, Dept. of Defense schools in Germany, and public schools in Ohio and Maine. I believe that technology should be a staple, not a privilege. Through my work, I am always striving to bring my passions, children and technology, together for the betterment of both. I love what I do. SharonsShare
