Douglas W. Canfield

Yahoo ID: canfieldpuc / Language Resource Center, University of Tennessee I learned about the WebHeads during TESOL's Principles and Practices of Online Teaching Certificate Program, where I met Daf and Tere (excellent instructors, BTW), and I beleive Dennis O. was in a few of the classes. I tried to do BAW06, but I got caught up in the maelstrom of contract negotiations that precipitated my move to Tennessee, and I had to back out. Now that I have that out of my hair, I hope to get really involved this year...I'm amazed at how the technology curve has exploded this past year, and can't wait to see what's in store and to make new friends!

I work at a public Language Center (CILT)in the evening and during the day I run a private Language Institute with a group of other teachers - it´s called Ability.So, as you can see I´m in contact with English teaching all day long.(I love it!!!). I´ve enrolled in this course to have more contact with some tools to be used in the classroom to enrich my classes and to spread the idea to other teachers. But I must confess I´m a little scared with so much information!!! I´ll certainly need help!!!

JoAnn Salvisberg

Hello from Switzerland. I’m a native Texan EFL teacher/trainer currently teaching business communication college students and primary and secondary teachers who want to improve their English proficiency to CAE level.

My Yahoo ID is jotex54

Most of my business students are more proficient in IT skills than I am, but they don’t use them at the moment for English learning. My teachers are either still getting used to using the internet and email, and/or they don’t want to go online at the end of a long teaching day. I am hear to soak up as much of the new technology as I can and contribute as a member of an online community. Apologies for the late start, but I'll try to catch up and hope the saying Better late than never'' is true!!
