About Me:
I’m passionate about education, and its evolution towards a more interactive and flexible environment.
Main areas I’m interested in are social pedagogy, psychology applied to tailor-made lessons, and sharing feedback on applied experimental teaching techniques.
Adults’ education as main focus, but interested in the rest of the groups as well.
There are few links I'm using to prepare my classes, and mostly try to learn the great art of teaching in this 2.0 environment.

Hope somebody finds them useful:

Hey Esther - that's right I'm a kids author. I specialize in writing graphic novels that engage reluctant readers. I'm very interested in using other "alternative" literacies like video games to boost reading and writing skills in kids and instill in them a love for words, whether it's on a page or on a screen.

Thanks for that video Esther! It was a perfect choice. I'm a kids author who does a lot of school visits to get students excited about reading, so I can relate to many of the scenes in the video. Dr. Ken has some great ideas to make science fun and engaging. Thanks for sharing it with me.

Welcome Esther from Bavaria/Germany!
I focus on Web 2.0 apps as to education.
Have you ever heard about "ukgermanconnection" - schools could get together and that would be financed.

Hi, I'm sure you will be a very good teacher1. I have noticed that when you involve the students into projects they feel very happy, you know, the learning by doing approach, if the project is relevant to them it will be a success, and don’t forget to show your enthusiasm that make wonders and it’s contagious. Good luck!
