Out and about sharing EdTech practices


The title explains everything, apart from using technology in my daily classroom practice, I also believe it's important to share knowledge.
I very intensely do so in social media:

And also here on Informed Teachers blog!

Here in this post we take a look at two posts I wrote for Brazilian magazine Nova Escola giving more information on how Google Educator Groups work:

and to IATEFL LTSIG (Learning Technologies Special Interest Group) describing my presentation on IATEFL Glasgow. It was about the integration of Virtual Reality with EFL syllabus.

In Glasgow I took part in a great event organized by ELTJam & Cambridge English Language Assessment on Learner Centred Innovation in ELT.
Here's the full account and the videos:

Blogging, livestreaming , speaking in conferences are the main ways I use to share my passion for teaching and the improvement of the learning process I witness by interwining technology to my teaching practice.
There's more on the way!

This is the first post of 2018. May we all have a happy and prosperous new year !!! When blogging we tend to start off by having some resolutions in mind. Today with me it was not different but for one detail: Facebook brought up a memory of a blog post from january 2014.

When I came across this blog memory the first thing that came to my mind was:  why is it that we start off with many ideas for the new year and we actually get to work on them but this usually lasts for a short while , or at least shorter than we thought ? How about starting a new year by looking back...
