About Me

My photo
Portugal
I am from Coimbra, Portugal, and am currently teaching in a school in Soure, about 30 km away from Coimbra. I have been a teacher of English for over 20 years and have already taught different levels and age groups. After all this time I can say I love working with adult groups because there are no coursebooks and I can create my own resources. I am an avid reader, a blogger and very curious about free tools and their implementation in the classroom.

Happy New Year

Google Doodle
This is the time for a 2011 review. It was indeed a true revolutionary year of protests worldwide and that's the reason why Time Magazine's Person of the Year was The Protester. In their own words, "In 2011, protesters didn’t just voice their complaints; they changed the world."
Maps of the World also has a fantastic compilation of the main events and you can even vote for the event of the year. However, as usual, Google has produced a short video reviewing 2011 (embedded below) that's really worth having a look:



By this time, you are already making all the necessary preparations for a farewell to 2011 and for the warmest welcome to 2012, just like everybody else, right? Before you go, have a look at this slideshow by REUTERS.
As far as I am concerned, thank you so much for your trust and inspiration to keep me and this blog going :)
I wish you all a HAPPY NEW BOOK - a brand new book with 365+1 white pages for you to write on the best way possible.

I feel I have just been given a wonderful gift for 2012, I have discovered your blog through Claudio's Movie Segment blog in Brazil.

Living in the land where the Mayan calendar profesizes an end to the world, 2012 will be a year of beginnings. I will be including your wonderful slideshow on Art or Vandalism in an advanced EFL writing class I teach in the Universidad Michoacana in Mexico (class bog http://writingcu.wordpress.com)

My subscription to your blog is...just the beginning. Thanks you for the inspiration.
