Carla Arena
 

I'm a Brazilian EFL educator who's passionate about teaching. I'm curious and always in search of online tools that can add value to my teaching practices and hook up students to learn. I truly believe in the transformational power education holds when we find the right means to engage, enchant and motivate our learners.
I'm a teacher trainer at a Binational Center in Brasilia. I've been more and more involved in e-learning projects, devising online sessions and teaching them.  I'm a a blogging fan (or addict!) and enthusiastic Webhead.
I'm really excited about this online journey. For the past four years, I've co-moderated the Blogging4Educators , Images4Education and digitalstorytelling sessions, but I'm up to this challenge of another session with wonderful souls.

Hello, I am a Special Education Teacher for our high school in our school district of 1460 students  Wells Ogunquit Community School District, Maine. In 2005, I completed a course during the online Electronic Village, Becoming a Webhead. That one course opened the door to so many opportunities that I am happy to "pay it back" by being part of this collaborative course. I am also a Webcaster at EdtechTalk, blogger at TechLearning.com, member of SEEDLINGS,a presenter and lover of technology, parent, kayaker and skier! Nice to meet you!

Denise De Felice

I am an EFL teacher, a teacher trainer and an Academic Coordinator at an EFL institution in Brasilia, Brazil. My field of study relates to bridging neuroscientific research and education because I do believe that understanding about how the brain learns can positively impact our teaching practice. I am a member of the Society for Neuroscience, whose Annual Meeting I attend regularly, and a member of the Society for the Neurobiology of Language. I am currently the EFL-IS Chair at TESOL. I am really excited about joining this amazing team of Webheads and I am sure that we will all share great experiences and learn a lot together!

Nina Liyulkun

I come from Ukraine and teach Business English for students at the Khmelnitskiy National University. Since joining the online community of webheads I’ve learned a lot from and with the dedicated educators whose major interest is IT for teaching and learning online. Annual TESOL’s EVO sessions give everyone a good chance to get knowledge and experience in integrating technology into educational process. I am happy to be part of the moderating team of EVO sessions since 2007 at Blogging for Educators, Images4Education  and Digital Storytelling 2011. The sessions have given an impulse to continue improving skills in this area. More info about my activities can be found at collaborative WorldCALL 2008 wiki,

Jane Petring

I teach at Collège Édouard-Montpetit near Montreal, Québec.  It seems that I have been involved with foreign language education my whole life as a student, teacher, administrator, author or online moderator and find all of those roles constantly intersecting. I have authored three ESL textbook series that are widely used in Quebec colleges and universities and have co-moderated a number of online sessions such as Collaborative Blogging, Images4Education, digitalstorytelling among others.  I have also wrestled with the relative advantages of using online tools or textbooks in several articles  (e.g. Textbook and Web 2.0: Collision or Collaboration?) and created a number of blogs to help my students explore online tools: Discovering, Deducting and Digging, Exploring 19^th Century Literature and English CEF Blog. I look forward to exploring more digital tools and making sure they have a purpose!

Ana Maria Menezes

I'm Ana Maria Menezes. A Brazilian EFL teacher, teacher trainer and the technology coordinator at a Language Institute. I love searching the net for new learning possibilities and publish my "discoveries" and "trials" in my blog LIFE FEAST. Since 2006 I've been trying out different webtools with my students and organising the tools according to the skills they favor. The result of this work can be found in my two books, Webtools applied to teaching and Developing the 4 Skills with Webtools. At the moment, I've started an MA in Applied Linguistics and have been writing about how technology has influenced my development as a teacher.
