Lee Ann Spillane, USA, Secondary, English

Close to 45 years experience in education as a student, a high school English teacher, Reading & Writing Center director, literacy consultant, and curriculum writer. I love learning and working with students of all ages. I currently live in Orlando, Florida and teach English at Cypress Creek High School.

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.

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.
