Since early 2006 I‘ve been involved into blogging with LwC and B4B as well as Blogging for Educators as a co-moderator thisin (2008)2008 year.and Images4Education in 2009. Though, at the University I mostly use Moodle platform for creating materials for students’ autonomous learning. However, I took a try to involve my students into blogging and, hopefully, we’ll continue exploring these tools next academic year. To learn more about blogging I’ve created one for TESOL-Ukraine and Hawaii-TESOL partnership and the other one for Webheads Greetings. Our primary blog for students also is placed in Blogger: Luckyones.
I have the only son who lives and works in Poland. He is crazy of Kite-boarding.He runs his business in Warsaw. And the only grandson who brighten our days here in Ukraine.
