About Me

A gadget girl who wants to be as wonderful as her dog thinks she is!

In my spare time when not using my lovely Mac or iPhone I like to go running with my dog in the fields. I also like playing the piano and trumpet, which I studied at Universtiy when I left school. Although my dog thinks I'm wonderful at playing these instruments I don't know about my bass guitar where I think I'm a cool Suzie Quatro without the leather trousers - just jeans!

Now you might understand why I am enthusiastic about using the voice and music to bring learning alive combined with technology.

Here are eight random facts about me:

Yes, I can confirm that I do now have a class and we will start working on the March task on Monday. I have a question. I would like to recommend your site to a large group of teachers around the world. I attended the ECIS ESL and Mother Tongue conference in Dusseldorf last week and believe working with you is a very good way to promote children's mother tongues in international school settings. This was being advocated strongly by the top people in the field of applied linguistics and TESOL who were presenting at the conference. Would it be ok to pass your details (the website address) on?

Thank you,

Helen

Sorry for the lack of communication.
Yes, I hope to participate in the March task.
We do our mandatory state testing here in
March, so everything is a little crazy the
month leading up to that.I am looking forward
to the March task.
Thank you,
Dana

Apparently our district is blocking anything that could be construed as social networking-we wouldn't want the kids to actually TALK to anyone else, would we? I'm going to try doing it from home, but it would be a lot more fun if the kids could see the stuff too.
