Before the Start

Electronic Village Online (EVO) offers ten various sessions this year. Rich and interesting as usual.

Among all the interesting descriptions, this one attracted my attention:

Learning happens in our brains. It's a physical and biological process. Brain-based teaching and learning focus on how the brain learns best and how language teachers can learn to understand and use this knowledge to help students learn English effectively. Much is already known about brain functioning during learning processes to orient the practice of teaching. The brain and learning are the bridge that teachers can and must cross with knowledge that effectively connects them to learners.

It's an abstract from the session outline of the Neuroscience in Education: Braining-Up Your English Lessons course. That's my choice for this year. For more info, take a closer look here.

My unfulfilled wishes are these courses:


 Becoming a Webhead 2013

 Multiliteracies for Social Networking and Collaborative Learning Environments
 Mentoring

I loved so much these ones last year! :)

 Podcasting for the EFL/ESL Classroom 
 Digital Tools with Purpose in the Classroom

You may want to see my portfolios for the above mentioned courses from the last year:

 Portfolio for Podcasting Course
 Portfolio for Digital Tools Course

The week before the course have just started. Can't wait the actual beginning. Many people have already written intro messages on Edmodo group. I've read some of the materials for the first week, joined and explored group environments, created a space for my digital portfolio.

Waiting for open access to some files and a few links' corrections.

Started with this blog.

Being happy! :)
