An EFL teacher/translator since 1988. I have now been really interested in the better use of technology/web 2.0 in the classroom. An avid learner - gemini.

A work in Progress
My online space to reflect upon my daily teaching and different issues that come along. I will occasionally write about a webtool I may come across but I'm more interested in using this space to consider motivational, psychological things that are so important for any kind of learning to take place.

Portable Teacher
Welcome to my teaching blog! Portable-Teacher reflects what I'm doing or thinking about doing in the classroom. I started the blog with a few teaching friends, who occasionally post to it. We envisioned it as a collaborative space where we could share and engage in conversation about our practice.

I use the blog to remember and reflect on my teaching as well as a place to share ideas or tools I've found helpful. I would like the blog to push teachers and others to question, imagine and or reflect on their own practice.

Marina Petrovic, Serbia, Foreign Language School, English as a Foreign Language

I have been teaching English and managing a private language school for 14 years now. This dual aspect of my work gave me invaluable insights into language school dynamics and enabled me to comprehend and empathize with students', teachers' and school owners' problems, needs and aspirations. I believe that technology has enriched learning experience to such a great extent that it cannot be denied, especially by teachers.

Evolving E-circles - currently offline
I have several blogs, but this one is my favourite because there I share my experience of different online tools, virtual classrooms, online teaching methodology, etc.

I started blogging about Psychology in ELT in 2006, but I had this impression that no one was reading, so I stopped and turned this blog into Learn Serbian in 2007 - it's still alive and kicking, becoming more and more popular. What I think I will be doing in the future is creating digitalized language learning content.

RJ Stangherlin, USA, Secondary, Educational Technology

Since 1967, when I graduated from Moravian College, I have taught in Salisbury schools. My career began in the high school as a 7th grade English teacher, then moved to what is now the Administration Building for 3 years (looked very different in those days), and then to newly-constructed Middle School until the mid-eighties. At that point I took a five-year educational sabbatical and revisited my Masters Degree work at Lehigh University (Lucy B. Moses Teaching Assistant Fellowship in conjunction with Dr. Peter G. Beidler) and began studies in 18th Century British Literature, Medieval Literature, and Gender Studies in the Ph.D. program (degree incomplete). During my degree studies, I learned to read in Old and Middle English, Classical Latin, Medieval Latin, German, Hebrew, and Yiddish.

A first-year member of Keystone Technology Integrators and the Discovery Educator Network, I am also a first-year member of the PA DEN Leadership Council and have and continue to serve as PA DEN Blog Coordinator. In 2010, I was surprised with the DENny Legend Award.

A believer of lifelong learning, as part of my continuing education, I have published, presented at conferences, engaged in staff development training, been awarded educational fellowships, and joined professional organizations that have furthered my classroom learning and teaching skills.

In March, 2010, I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Follicular Lymphoma, and decided to make my diagnosis a learning and teaching experience. You can learn more about living with and beating back cancer at my newest blog, Beating Back Cancer.
