Braz-TESOL Photos

The Braz-TESOL convention was all about networking, sharing ideas, and connecting to what others are doing.

Well, it was a thrilling moment to meet a great Webhead who has taught us so much about blogging, Bee Dieu! We finally could see each other f2f without a screen in front of us. Great time for us, Webheads in Brasilia, Carla and Erika. Then, Isabel Teixeira also joined us after getting back from her trip in Holland.

In no time, I guess, there will be more Brazilians sharing our Webhead enthusiasm!

Check out what happened during the Braz-TESOL.

Teaching and Learning Networks

Creating your personal learning networks, as mentioned by Daniel Tobin, is part of the teacher's professional development. There are people in the cyberspace ready to collaborate with you, solve problems, share ideas, and give you advice on the best practices. These are just some of our fantastic partners, part of our network, that have been closely interacting with us! We are most thankful to all their time, effort and care that they devote to us and our students.
