Blog Anniversary #1

One Year, 365 days of hard work around a class blog that have paid off!
A year ago, I was attending a UO Teacher eLearning course with other incredible teachers from around the globe, led by an equally incredible Teacher Trainer, Donna. Both as a course challenge / task and a personal one, I created this blog with my form class, which I have had the privilege of having been given continuity.
Until this date and together, in a true TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) work spirit, we’ve already published 163 posts, have had 1004 comments, and visitors from 59 different countries, which is really a feat. Our posts have included introductions, hobbies, family ties and trips, religion, citizenship, readings and obviously, school activities using different 2.0 web tools, games, and more recently, flipped activities.
We’ve created a united and amazing real and virtual learning community, leaving a remarkable footprint, learning English and digital literacies, committed 21st century learners as we all (including the teacher) are!
Yep, as a teacher, it’s hard for me to believe, but it’s been a year – a very successful year, with a national prize last October, thanks to this amazing class - 8ºA and their parents - and to all of you, who from far and wide, have visited, read and left your precious comments.

A huge THANK YOU!

Introductions

Dear all,

This is our first post in our class blog.
Please introduce yourselves to the world :)

My first name is Alexandra and my surname is Duarte. I am Portuguese and from Coimbra though I am currently living in Condeixa, a nice place well-known for its Roman Ruins.
I have been a teacher of English for over twenty years now, and this school year I am proudly teaching this bunch of seventh graders, 20 boys and girls  - these Shining As from Soure, whose class representatives are:


So, welcome y'all to (y)our new blog.
Hope we all enjoy it.
Teacher Alex
