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
