Week 1: Introductions. Creating an Academic Blog

The Fall 2013 online "Building Teacher Skills Through the Interactive Web" course is a real experiment for me, it is both very interesting and responsible as it is conducted publicly. They say that teachers are often the worst  students but I still believe we will succeed and get really much for our practical work.
I hope this blog will become a good reflective log of our course activities.
And  my initial reflection is that I feel very lucky to have such a great chance of professional development. It was my first experience to get online on Nicenet . And I am happy I managed to get acquainted with my new colleagues with the help of this tool. I have already created two blogs:
TEACHING EXTRAS  http://zubrilina.blogspot.com/ (a blog for my students)
LANGUAGE CLUB BELARUS  http://englishclubbelarus.blogspot.com/
(a blog for teachers). They are both in English and Russian, so if you have any questions, you are welcome.
This blog will have another functions and I am sure we`ll share our ideas on its pages with great pleasure.
