“We're changing the world with technology.”


My experience in using ICT is quite..depthless. I know what I need to know: I know how to use SKYPE, I have an account on FACEBOOK, I have a BLOG, I know how to read and write E-MAILS, I use MSN and I use COMPUTER & INTERNET in my everyday life.

Technology is not my best friend but we are quite close. You simply can´t be a teacher without knowing how to use different kind of technology. Actually I think that nowadays it´s hard to exist without (using) technology. Of course I don´t know everything but if I need to use some new programs or do something unknown I try and experiment as long I succeed in it. So far this method has worked! :D

My expectations to the course are simple: I want to know about programs that can help me in the future, I want to know how to design my worksheets, games etc. so that they are attractive and motivating for students, I want to know how to make a video by myself. Of course that´s not all- I´m sure that during the courses many new expectations-questions will come into my mind.

To sum up: I can´t wait for this course!


Best wishes,

“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”

Hello, welcome to my blog! My name is Mariliis. I have to confess that I stared at my computer for some minutes and nothing came into my mind..nothing that would help me to describe/present myself. So I decided to spare you from boring hymn of praise and do something differently. Below you can see some keywords about me.

Previously I mentioned that I live in Vana- Vigala. Every time I say that I am from Vana- Vigala, people say: "Ha-ha, Old-Error!" and that because my homeplace´s name consists of two words old (vana) and error (viga). :) To give you a little information about this lovely village I prepared a poster, which you can see below.

Best wishes,

Mariliis
