  Hi, everybody.

  It's a pleasure to be here with friends and new acquaintances connected in the same purpose of taking a step ahead in our learning and helping shape 21st century education.

  I'm Carla Arena, a curious EFL educator, Brazilian, but temporarily living in the US. I work online for the Binational Center, a language institute, I work for in Brasilia. Right now, I'm devising and soon will start moderating an online session for educators in Brazil. I'm passionate about the connections and learning possibilities we have online. I'm part of the Electronic Village Online Coordinating Team, a group of educators who are part of TESOL. Our main objective is to offer free training for educators all over the globe on topics of their interest. In fact, I've been co-moderating for the past two years the Blogging4Educators online session.

  I blog at [explorations.bloxi.jp]

  Bee, thanks for organizing our gathering here!

  Beijos,

  Carla

  Welcome Gutemberg and José Antonio.

  I know Jose Antonio is a big fan of Connectivism and has been closely following all George Siemens' posts and articles. What about you, Gutemberg? What has made you join the Connectivism course?

  I'd love to read how you will go about it and why in this thread.

  Hello Everyone,

  My name is José Antônio da Silva. I am an EFL teacher in Brazil. I am happy to see so many familiar names in this forum. I am currently living in Brasilia. I work for a binational school here in Brasilia. I have been teaching for almost 20 years and technology nowadays represents a great part of my teaching and learning. I have been connected to Connectivism for the last two and a half years.

  I am just starting a new semester and lookig forward to having my students use technology for learning.

  All the best

  Jose Antonio

  Hello guys,

  My name's Gutemberg Raposo and I'm a college student at UFT in Porto Nacional and English teacher at CNA here in PAlmas-TO. Oh boy! I'm really glad to be writting these lines right now.
  Well, I'm in the beginning of my carrer as an English teacher comparing to you even because I'm so young, but I love technology and I also love teaching just like learning and I have to say I have so much courage to be here right now writing to you, because we have so many Teachers here, but I never saw any of them talking about this online world. I mean they know how to use a computer and stuff, but projects, conferences, lectures, online? Forget it! I just know one thing. As I have never had opportunity I'm giving the opportunity to me and that's the way things work to me.
  So, last semester I started working with blogs. Now I have some of them. As I'm into a researching project I decided to put it on online ( www.krahoproject.blogspot.com) and last semester we introduced some people to the internet and developed some online skills with the monitorship in the subject of pragmatics, so as a monitor I taught the students how subscribe since e-mail accounts til blogs and we finished with google reader, because I tought of doing something collaborative, then they had to create theid blogs and comment the topics posted by each mate on their blogs. P.S. Topics which were discussed in class by the professor. Well, it's here (www.monitoria2008.blogspot.com) . As last semester I worked with writing and reading on blogs, I plan to use skype for online conversations in class. What do you think about that?

   

  Regards,

   

  Gutemberg
