Last week I had a wonderful opportunity to attend a Master Teachers Course organized in Prague by Intel Teacher Engage  and led by the one and only Ollie Bray . Ollie had 18 of us from Eastern Europe + Spain glued to every word he said and  made us do all the activities eagerly and enthusiastically for almost ten hours every day. He's an exceptional presenter, a skilful teacher trainer and a great person. Everything was meticulously organized by the wonderful Ruth Merrett from Intel who made it all run smoothly and who took care of all of us with a smile on her face. It was an absolute honour for me to be there with teachers from different countries, some of them Glogster ambassadors like myself, and to learn together with them and from them. One of the teachers in the course was my dear friend Rose, who I had the pleasure of meeting virtually almost three years ago when she joined my Greetings from the world project. It was a special moment when we first met in person - o...

It's this Oscar-ish feeling again. Indescribable. Deena from Edu.Glogster created a glogster to celebrate ME ! Thank you!

This is a video about the Greetings from the world project that is officially representing Croatia at the Innovative Education Forum in Berlin from 23-25 March. Unofficially, however, it is a truly international project with participants - students and their teachers from Australia, Brazil, India, Portugal, Turkey, the UK and the USA. Here's also a slideshow that I created for the Forum.

The proud nominees for the Best Educational Wiki.

Yes, I'm thrilled, I'm overwhelmed with joy and I'm sure this is how the Oscar winners feel.... Thank you Eva, Valentina and Karenne for nominating my wiki project Greetings from the world . Thank you Edublogs judges for shortlisting it. My heartfelt thanks to all the members of the wiki who created such amazing glogsters. You're awesome!!! If you feel like voting, just click here . There's another nomination I want the world to know about: talk.ed is nominated for the Best Educational Use of a Social networking Service. Monika and her webclass definitely deserve this award because they help, they encourage, they support.... they care !

I can hardly believe that it's been a month since my last post. But what a month! Full of amazing web 2.0 adventures. In my last post I wrote about the successful launch of Ning with my 16-year old students as part of their Elective English Class. Only two students didn't join as they claimed they didn't have either a computer or the Internet access. However, after seeing what fun the other students were having, they suddenly got both a computer and the Internet access. Now I can't say they are eagerly participating in our online class, but they're there with us, and that's what matters. With time, their attitude might change. Anyway, I decided to integrate glogsterEDU , an excellent tool for creating mulitmedia posters, in my classroom. I wanted my students to present parts of Croatia to their peers from all over the world so I set up a wiki where they could display their glogs. We called it the Greetings from the world project and after several weeks of total...
