make learners profit more from lessons and enjoy learning this language.

I love education cause I love learning and all the transformations that learning involves. Three years ago I founded a Spanish school with my partner Magdalena Cambiasso. We try to make the school we dream of.

I have also been working in a formal education school for 10 years (collaborating in the institutional communication, the ICT insertion in classrooms and in thinking the new ways of learning). It´s a great place for learning.

I´m online since forever but I had not seriously started creating a personal learning network up to now. I´m having a great time in this new chapter of my learning process.

Amber Walraven, The Netherlands, Tertiary

I graduated at the University of Twente in 2004 at what was then called the faculty of Applied Educational Technology. I graduated at the department of instructional technology (IST). My project focused on the predictive measurement of metacognitive skills. From December 2004 till October 2008 I worked at the Open University of the Netherlands in Heerlen to obtain my PhD.

The title of my dissertation is: ‘Becoming a critical websearcher. Effects of instruction to foster transfer.’ I studied which criteria students and teachers of secondary education use for evaluating information on the Internet.

Together with history teachers I designed a lesson series to teach students in their third year of pre university education how to evaluate information on the Internet. Extra goal of the lessons was to achieve transfer of the evaluation skills to other subjects, like biology.

Since October 2008 I have been working as an assistant professor at the University of Twente, faculty of Behavioral Science, department Curriculum Development and Educational Innovation.

In this blog I’ll try to keep you posted on the research and the teaching I am involved in. Since October 1, 2008 I am an assistant professor at the University of Twente (UT) in the Netherlands.
