eLearning Awards 2007: Brussels, Belgium

Dear kids and teacher-friends,

I came to Brussels yesterday morning to be at the EUN eLearning Awards 2007 ceremony. I was one of the 13 finalists. It was a very simple, but very dignified hour-long event.

Our blog - CALL Lessons 2005-2007 - won the international eLearning Awards 2007 Gold Prize in the category of "The school of the future". I am very proud of our work and our achievement at the international level.

At the ceremony I dedicated the prize to you, students and colleagues. It wouldn't have been possible wthout your collaboration. This award belongs to us all! At the Gala Dinner I recorded a few words to you and all our teachers-friends-collaborators.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! 

Your "crazy and radical" teacher,

Teresa Almeida d'Eça

eLearning Awards 2007: Winners

Blogue português vence prémio de eLearning

 

Earlier today I went to visit students involved in the project who are now in a different school. I was in 5 different classes and was able to give them all the great news and a very special Christmas present. It was a very exciting and moving event with students with their arms open to hug me and big smiles on their faces.

I created a wiki with the messages I received from friends and family in different parts of the world and with photos (though not mine yet!). Take a look!

I gave an hour and half interview about the award and my work with ICTs to Jorge Afonso, "Histórias e Músicas", Antena 1 (national radio). It also features some of my favorite music. VIP: Between minutes 48 and 59 it's the 1:00 am news. You can advance the timer.
