Today I had a most productive class in Polish on YM (both text chat and voice) with Agata from Poland and Babi from Hungary. Agata is a native speaker, formally educated in the language and living in Poland. Babi is Hungarian, learning Polish (chatting with a native speaker once a week but mostly on her … Read more

So here I am, back to blogging my way to paradise…lol Came back from the country yesterday under a torrential rain…we haven’t had a nice summer…I bet the sun is going to appear as from tomorrow when we go back to class…Murphy’s Law…If anything can go wrong, it will! Anyhow…I deleted all the comment boxes … Read more

“What are the key trends and developments in online learning and collaboration”? This is a wonderful presentation I had the opportunity of viewing and listening to yesterday. Jay Cross from Internet Time has been credited with coining the now-popular term “e-learning” and stresses the need of creating a “culture of learning” as in the end … Read more

Ok…I managed to change the look after some messing around. Please do not ask me to reproduce it, I cannot report here what I did because it was literally a mess. The stats (blue square at the very bottom on the right) are quite easy to insert and the information given on the website is … Read more

I have just followed the Power Point Presentation about how to be a moderator and present at Talking Communities. I get amazed at how fast technology is developing and all the tools that we can use to enhance our teaching. They also offer us FREE 300 minutes in a room of our own to present … Read more

So…Blogjet is not exactly like Dreamweaver because although it generates code (you will see it on the blogger post window), it does not allow you to post HTML as well. I discovered this when I tried to link the image. When you are working inside the blogger, to post an image you just put <img … Read more
