Welcome


So this is it! Seven months ago I commenced a new role in my teaching career. Being a support eLearning teacher is no mean task. It is a challenging role but very rewarding. The role means researching and experimenting. Without any doubt trying new things also brings some failures ... but that is expected. Mistakes are important because we learn from them. I learn from them. And yes, my end product will always evolve because of these faults.

This is the whole scope of this blog. I want to share my experience with you. As I research and learn, I want to share with what I found.

I am eager to start this blog. I want to do constant changes, but above all I want you to contribute and tell me what I can add and deduct.
