Barbra Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 (edited) Hi, I am Barbra' Oxstrand, (Barbra' is short for Barbro which is a female name in Sweden where I come from, but I have learnt that it's a male name in Italy, Spain and other southern European countries). I am a Swedish primary teacher and have worked as a class teacher a long time but now I am ICT-teacher and librarian in the Media Hall in my school, Nya Varvets skola in Goteborg, west of Sweden. The school has about 400 pupils aged 6 - 12 years old. My school is an ENIS school and I am the coordinator and run the home page. Have a look at my school in English and the Media Hall in Nya Varvets skola, Goteborg, Sweden In my "spare time" I am working with National Montessori teacher training. Between 1999 and 2003 I have been an active member of EUN-Virtual school - Special Needs Department. There I learnt to know many nice people from UK and other countries in Europe.

Juliette Taylor Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 My name is Juliette Taylor-Lallau and I've been ESL Co-ordinator at the International School of Toulouse (yes, I'm another colleague of Mr. Jones-Nerzic's!) for the past three years. Having started my working life in television, I changed direction when I moved to France ten years ago. I've taught at university in Paris and Toulon, battled with students at a Lycée Professionnel in Aix (not one of my more fulfilling experiences) and run countless courses in business and professional English for various companies. My most recent job has involved adapting the Common European Framework of assessment for use within the IST, and trying to provide a meaningful programme for my pupils which bridges the gap between an intensive EFL programme and an ESL support programme. My particular interests are in the applications of NLP to the teaching of languages, as well as working with stories and theatre. I'm also very interested in language acquitision by the very young learners and am following my own son's bilingualism with great interest. As far as technology is concerned, I'm just beginning to spread my wings and I find the whole world of Internet fora and CALL projects very exciting, if a little intimidating I look forward to interacting virtually with many of you over the coming weeks!

ilovesooty Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Hi. My name is Joy Archer. I taught English for 23 years in high schools in Leeds. Iretired on health grounds from my last post as Head of English. I had a complete breakdown and recovery took a long time. I'm an active cotributor to www.tes.co.uk/staffroom, and have only just discovered this forum. I have a couple of email addresses where I lend a friendly informal ear to teachers who are having a rough time; ilovesooty@postmark.net and racheljanehowarth1956@hotmail.com I have become very involved with the difficulties faced by teachers today, particularly abusive pupils and workplace bullying. I've appeared on radio and TV several times over the past two years, and have enlisted MP support to get questions asked in the House. I'm now training in counselling, and hope eventually to forge a new career in this direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fd10801 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 My name is Frank DiSalle. I am not a classroom teacher, but I apply educational principles, and computer programming, to help empower people diagnosed with a mental illness. By giving them power in a virtual universe, it is my hope that they carry with them this feeling into the real world. I graduated from Iona College in 1994, at the age of 46, after 15 years with the federal government, and 4 years in the US Army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
