It's time for some changes. I've been running this blog for some years now and it's high time I opened it up to other educators - EFL teachers just like me - to exchange their ideas and share their experiences; it will also be a different chance to have their voices heard.
I truly thank my colleagues / longtime friends who are doing so - it's as rewarding for them as it is for me and for all readers/visitors!

Lifelong Learning
Experiences
The
European Commission’s Lifelong Learning Programme – Comenius Sub – programme
enables teachers and trainers to participate in enriching and motivating
training sessions across Europe.
The Course “Digital
Storytelling in Classroom” was organised by the University of Piraeus Research
Centre and it was held in Crete, Greece from July, the 15th till the
19th.
This course included 30 hours of teaching and
workshops, as well as collaborative, project work that required about 5 hours
of individual work and it was attended by teachers of Portugal, England,
Ireland and Poland.
Together they had the opportunity to explore
several WEB 2.0 tools in order to facilitate Storytelling in classroom:
