Savas Savides, Greece, Primary, Secondary

Student turned teacher, turned examiner, turned teacher-trainer, turned publisher, but still a student at heart; I buy more books than I can read; I spend my days between three countries; education is the only thing that can really set you free; I organize the world in tidy little boxes; standing in awe before my incredible toddler; I am silently correcting your grammar; my wife is a far better teacher than I’ve ever been; still can’t find a decent profile picture; traveling for business and working for pleasure; sleep is overrated.

I am Kohila, working as a school assistant teacher in Sreemoolam Rama Varma Higher Secondary School, Kanyakumary District, Tamilnadu State, India. I am very interested in innovative teaching methods like project based teaching and teaching through technology....

I was awarded by our state government as well as central government for using technology in my teaching processes. I wish to invite educators around the world to disscuss the teaching/learning process which they practice at their schools.

John Otterstedt

John Otterstedt, USA, Elementary

I have been an elementary teacher at Ridgewood, New Jersey for the past 12 years. For the past 7 years, I have "looped" with my students, usually taking a class from 3rd to 4th grade. My primary interest in education is a big one - how to do it all. An enthusiastic person by nature, I have dabbled in just about every new education movement that has gained popularity over the past 12 years.

Although the "gurus" associated with these movements tend to think that their method is the only way, I tend to find the best elements of each and integrate them into my eclectic teaching style. It is a style that ranges from "old school" direct instruction (I am big on the "3 R's") to hands-on, interdisciplinary projects that bring the students outside the classroom.
