About Me:

I'm a curious Brazilian EFL educator currently teaching an online course for my school in Brazil. I haven't been blogging that long, but ever since I started I never stopped, always trying to find ways to connect, to learn and to move further. Nowadays, I blog about teaching and learning in general in the Explorations hub, but I also keep a personal blog to report, reflect on things other than education and to keep a log of my life in the US. Who knows some day my kids will read it and remember what it was like?

For the past two years, I've been a lucky co-moderator of the EVO blogging sessions and I guess I've learned much more than I'd ever be able to pass on, for in each connection we discover.

I really hope this space becomes a sandbox for trying out, reporting and keep learning about blogging.

Just yesterday he pointed to a very interesting reading which is totally related to my own reasoning, questioning about blogging.

Our new school year starts in April, so I have been busy prepping my classes, and thinking about how to integrate blogging and technology into the courses. My writing class is going to meet in the computer lab every other week this year.

Anyway -- can't wait to see you in NYC!!
