Recent works_Teaching, Writing & Lectures

It's been some time since I last published here in this blog where everything started ...

In the past years I've been very active teaching and that's where I get my inspiration to help develop course materials, blog and give online workshops.

Real grounded teaching practice does make a difference because it enables us to have the necessary understanding of the classroom challenges and the creativity and flexibility to adjust accordingly.

In this blog I'll share the links of my most current work focusing on the creative and collaborative use of technology to teach and learn during the pandemic.

If you think this can be insightful to other teachers, I'd appreciate it if you could share <3

We teachers everywhere in the planet have been making an herculean effort to learn, adapt, adjust and reach out to our students so that learning can still happen, despite the barriers.

I feel glad that, within my power, I've been contributing the community of teachers. 

I do believe  by sharing what we learn we inspire each other.

Thank you for reading and for the support.

Rescuing your purposes and resolutions

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. My new resolution back then was to start vlogging. http://informedteachers.blogspot.com.br/2014/01/informed-teachersvlog.html What I had in mind back then was that I would start posting more like in this fashion: a written part + a video http://informedteachers.blogspot.com.br/2014/02/apps-for-your-learning-success.html I kept this going for a short while and then went back to my traditional writing.
