What about hearing some experiences?

I work as a teacher in Greenville Elementary School.

I use modern teaching methods and web 2 .0 tools for e -learning, like Moodle with my students.

Also, I have experience with many European schools.

I try to connect my pupils with the pupils from other European countries

and encourage them to use different web tools too.

For now, we are part of a new Comineas project called Citizen of Careland.

I learned a lot about American working style

and I improved my English thanks to my American friends.

The hardest part was when I went there for the first time.

I couldn't clearly understand the customers in the beginning,

but then, things got much better and easier.

The most enjoyable part was when I gave parties with my friends.

I really missed those days.
