Non-verbal communication
Following Anna Franca's suggestion I visited this website http://home.learningtimes.net/learningtimes?go=1668588 and I was captured by an interesting video about "non-verbal communication".
Would you mind watching it and expressing your own ideas ?
How meaningful is it in your daily social dimension?
Yours,
Antonietta M.D.P.

Hi everybody !
it’s me , Mauro , from the north-west of Italy.
As you know, I have been working in Milan for a very long time…
but I come from Naples.
I studied at “Istituto Universitario Orientale” where I graduated long time ago…;then the journey from learning to teaching started and is still going on.
During these years I have found that this journey ignites the wonder, excitement, emotion, and awe of discovering virtual lands and learning with new friends like You are.
All the best and good luck to all the bloggers!
CU soon

Hey Bloggers let's get goin'
Hi Bloggers,
the CoP is warming up as you guys are breaking the ice with self-introductions and interesting issues. While we're waiting for other more than welcomed bloggers (maybe they're just lurking), don't forget to have a look at the video at http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=dGCJ46vyR9o.
In the meantime, please also go to LearningTimes at http://www.learningtimes.org/ and become a member (it's free :-)) ) as from here we'll try to organise our first live CoP meeting in the upcoming weeks.
Cheers!!

Web 1.0 vs. Web 2.0
After watching the video and reading Daniela's and Paola's posts, I think the difference between the two modes is clear enough.
I started using the web very late ( 6-7 years ago) so I directly experienced the web 2.0 tools, even though I was not able (and still I am not) to use them.
Now, something is evident: our students are completely familiar with these tools and we can only capture their interest if we can cope with the new communicative ways.
Should we start trying with the new tools? should we create a blog to be used with our students to post materials and/or exchange ideas? would it work? or should we wait to be a bit more expert?
Yours,
Adela

Introducing myself
Hello, everybody!
I am Adela Agostinelli. I teach English as a foreign language in a Secondary school in the province of Avellino. I have been teaching English for many years and I always try to follow all kinds of innovations in the field of teaching.
This is my second experience with Tesol members in an online ativity. Last year I took part in an e-learning course with the colleagues from Venezia, Benevento and Cosenza. It was a very intersting experience. That is why I am here again: to learn more about how we can use ICT to meet our students' needs.
Thank you to Anna Franca for this wonderful opportunty. I hope I will be able to give my contribution , even though this is my first blogging experience.
Nice blogging to everybody,
