Hello! My name is Liudmyla and I teach English and German in Kyiv, Ukraine. Most of my students are adults and teenagers, but I also used to teach small kids before and enjoyed a lot. I teach at a private language school and also as a private tutor. I really hope to learn a lot of new things here and to know what teachers all over the globe do at their lessons. I am sure that sharing expericence is essencial part of learning, so I am really excited. To my mind, only if used wisely, technical tools can make our lesson super useful and interactive. I love using Google products (all of them I should say), adore quizlet, have recently discovered Edpuzzle. 

I enjoy teaching, listening to music, travelling and colouring by numbers. Wishing all of you lots of fun at the session!

Hello, my name is Nuhi Bllaca I am from Kosovo. I am a teacher of English at a primary school in my town Podujeva. I like teaching English with technology and this is the biggest reason for me to join this course!

Hi there! I’m Priska from Indonesia, currently taking an MA in English Language Teaching at the University of Warwick. Before coming to the UK, I taught for roughly a year as an English Counselor in a Self-Access Centre at a university in my hometown, as well as an IELTS trainer at a private language institution. Although I haven’t used a lot of ICT in my classroom practices, I’ve been introduced to quite a lot of useful learning application, like Triptico, Padlet, Draw.io, Kahoot, FluentU at Warwick Uni, which really inspired me to delve deeper into the subject. Joining this MOOC was also a recommendation from my tutor.

I believe ICT will increase student participation and make learning more enjoyable – even more now that students are becoming so tech-savvy and comfortable with using online and IT resources. So, I’m here, not only to “keep up with the time”, but also to learn how to help students gain autonomy in language learning. 

Greeting from Bhutan!

I am Tshering Dema and I am an English Teacher currently teaching In one of the remote part of Bhutan. It is really a great pleasure to be in this course with talented and enthusiastic teachers from different countries. I am looking forward to having a rich experience and getting an opportunity to interact with you all in the days to come.

Cheers!

Hi. I'm Gail from Sydney, Australia. 

I have been interested in languages for as long as I remember, and,  having studied post graduate language overseas, returned to work in the travel industry, but fortunately followed a passion in teaching ESL, which I have now been doing for several years. I completed a Masters in Applied Linguistics and was fortunate to teach in private colleges, government organisations and charities, and  was a co-owner of an ESL college , and so have been able to teach a variety of ages, abilities and nationalities over my teaching career. I've been teaching most recently in a primary school environment and, with a recent Masters in Teaching, am now fascinated with where IT in education is going. Have so much to learn, and am looking forward to learning and sharing with you all......even to how to make this enormous picture a little smaller ( I did listen to instructions, but it didn't seem to work for me!!) 

Hi.  I'm Maryanne Burgos from Maryland in USA.   I love tech tools and two of my favorites are TEDed and Twitterchats.  TEDed is a great teaching tool and Twitterchats are good for learning and sharing with other teachers. I teach an online course about using technology for L2.  

Each year I take one or two EVO courses and I always learn something new!

I first participated in EVO on a coworker’s dare several years ago, and now I am hooked. In EVO I have grown in ways I couldn’t even imagine in my life pre-EVO. I teach EFL and Writing in a public university in Mexico and elaborate materials for a Self Access Center as well as coordinate my own SAC in a Test Coaching Center, in class and online. My passion is learning and facilitating learning.

When I am not learning/teaching I love to look at the clouds and the stars, go hiking in the hills and enjoy camping on the beaches of my adopted sunny Mexico in the company of my incredible family.

This is me in Dubrovnik, where I attended a course for teachers and I started my first eTwinning project. It happened a couple of years ago. It is an important event in my life and I consider it my baptism into digital learning. I learnt how to share materials and experience with colleagues in many other countries.

Hi! I'm Cristina , an EFL teacher in a middle school settled in Pisa. I hope to learn from this on line course because time is limited and I am not a so called "digital teacher" but I do think I have to do something to upskill my competences in ICT and motivate my students more.

I am Julie from Maryland in USA. I live between Baltimore and Washington D.C. I have a B.S. in Modern Languages and Linguistics and worked in the linguistics field for many years before I stopped to raise my four children. Now that my children are getting older, I've started a part-time job teaching ESL to adult learners at a local private school.  I fell in love with teaching and returned to school to complete my TESOL certification.  This is my first time participating in EVO or any type of online seminar. I have very little experience with the use of technology in my teaching, so I am looking forward to learning a lot in the forthcoming weeks.  Thanks so much for letting me a part of this program.

Hi, I am Efrossini Zoniou from Greece.  

I was born and educated in Belgium, but I have been living and working in Athens for over 25 years, teaching English, German and French as foreign languages to young learners, teenagers and adults, learners from 7 to 77, so to say. This year I am teaching pre-primary, primary and early secondary school children in a private language institute  in Athens.

Living on the tiny, remote island of Kastellorizo for several years made me realise the importance of ICT, that is why I would like to learn more about how to integrate it in my classes. I attended the 2015ICT4ELT session, which got me hooked on e-learning, so here I am back this year, eager to brush up and build up on the wonderful insight I gained.

Hi, I'm Karen from the United States.  I teach ESL to students in grades K-12  in a public school in Ohio.  I'm in my 5th year of teaching ESL, but previous to that I taught second grade for 10 years, and Special Education for 5 years.  I am the only ESL teacher in my district, so I look forward to learning from others.  I do not have much experience using technology, other than really easy applications like email and Facebook.  So I'm excited to learn more!

I live in Slonim, a small town which is situated in the west of the country and is famous for its historical sights, churches and cathedrals and, of course, for its picturesque countryside.
