Olá a todos!

No espírito de partilha que caracteriza os Webheads, escrevi-lhes uma mensagem, especialmente dirigida aos que falam português, a dar conhecimento da nossa formação. Seguem as respostas recebidas.

Hello, Webheads!
 * 25jul11**

Sorry for crossposting!

This is a message for Portuguese speaking Webheads.

Joao and I just finished a 25-hour PD workshop on Web 2.0 tools for Portuguese language teachers in our area. You may find it interesting to look through the wiki and see the work that our teacher trainees carried out as well as our "grand finale" (see the "Fotos" page). Rita collaborated with us through Skype and the Webheads Elluminate Room. Thank you, Rita! http://web2-jul11.wikispaces.com/

It was a fabulous group who'd never had this type of totally "hands-on" workshop, nor been introduced to so many different tools. They definitely and bravely entered a "new world" and will certainly change their practices next year.

A great sign is that they all feel sad that it's over and want more next year. :-)

Joao and I are very happy with the success and just hope that word of mouth will bring about more workshops so that we can get teachers to embrace blended learning and bring about a peaceful revolution in education in Portugal.

Hugs, Teresa

Hi Teresa Congratulations for a very well organised and successful workshop! I'm sure you (and João) conveyed your enthusiasm for web 2.0 tools and did a great work! Let's hope the participants start using these tools in their teaching practice.

Dear Tereza,

I took a look at the wiki and will sure bookmark to share with my colleagues. It was great to hear your voices in the audio section. Great job. I am sure teacher will always want more.

All the best

Hi Teresa, I liked the idea of "peaceful revolution in education" and could see the participants' enthusiasm in the wiki Eyejot and Winkball videos! Well done Teresa and Joao! Anisoara (Romania)

Beijinhos,

I second Claire in her praise. Thanks for sharing, Teresa! I loved the feedback comments at the bottom of the pages. Good reminder for the next sessions. B. (Bee in Brazil)

Hi, dear Tere and all Webheads,

Once again, the Webhead Spirit from a Webhead Factory has manufactured our product, and many new teachers in Portugal have joined this wonderful "company". Thank YOU for your invite, dear Tere, it was an amazing experience from home, reaching these colleagues from so far, all in awe at watching our communicating so easily and successfully..., with everything this entails as educators.

It was my pleasure, Tere!

Rita (Argentina)

Teresa,

Thank you for sharing it with us. I'll share it with my friends in Brazil.

Best regards,

Aryane Sartori (Brazil)

Hi Teresa!

I hope you are doing well!!! Thanks for your nice post about your wiki. I've shared the link of your wiki with a colleague of mine who teaches portuguese. She works with me at the same Institute and she's doing her first steps on technology. I do hope you or Joao don't mind my sharing! If there happened to be a problem, please, let me know. I love reading alllllllll your and the rest of the webheads' posts though I'm passive to reply! I'm looking forward to the new BaW2012!!! Smiles to you and Joao, Maria :)

Dear Teresinha,

Congrat’s, and thank you very much for sharing your wiki here!

As usual, perfectly arranged, planned and organized platform!

On reading your email yesterday, the word “Perfect!” loudly came out of my mouth!

I scheduled the Educational Technology class, started three hours after reading your email, to show some examples of how teachers around the world use wikispaces with their EFL/ESL students, or for their PD. It was also “perfect” because it was not in English.It’s a pity that wikispaces does not allow Arabic language, but hopefully they will consider this in the near future. (Anyone here from wikispaces?) We are in middle of the summer semester. They are complaining, as usual, about the too many tasks they are supposed to accomplish:-) Did I share the link of the first term students work? http://edu401yuc.pbworks.com/w/page/31990796/E-portfolios

One of the students’ comments was that; this teacher (you) is organizing her wiki using the same style you (me) are using with your wikis and our class wiki. I smiled! Then 10 minutes were devoted to talk about webheads.

I left a message on your Skype chat area some days ago.

Teresa,

Wow! This looked like a great workshop. I'm sure the participants learned a lot and are now on their own journeys through cyber-space with their students.

Keep up the good work.

Beijinhos,

Hi Teresa

I was impressed by you when I first met you, but I must say you never cease to surprise me.

Great job, will check the wiki even though I don't speak Portuguese but will learn something for sure.

Congrats to Joao and the rest of your team!

Bye, Marijana (Croatia)

BTW I thought you retired
