I am currently the Head of the Foreign Languages Department in the private school Aristotelio College in Thessaloniki. I hold a Bachelor in ELT, a full DELTA (mods 1, 2 & 3) from Cambridge University, an MA in Educational Psychology from the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and an MA in ELT from Leeds Metropolitan University. I am fond of lifelong learning and I'm always trying to do my best in teaching my students in a way that will turn them into decent global citizens. I insist on carrying out various sisterhood projects that aspire to enable my students to bridge the cultural walls and learn how to survive in multicultural contexts.

Digital Storytelling. June 24, 2014 Here is a great interactive Thinglink image on the process of digital storytelling I want to share with you today.
This graphic is created by Tonia and features a wide variety of iPad apps that go with each of the stages of the digital storytelling process. Tonia used the concept of process writing (popularized by Donal Murray) to design this digital storytelling process visual. This process is made up of 7 stages namely :prewriting, drafting, editing, conferencing, revising, publishing, and sharing. If you hover your mouse over any of these stages you will be able to see a clickable button that you can use to access the list of iPad apps for that stage.
I have spent sometime going through the different app suggestions included in this visual and I find them really interesting. Digital Story-Telling. TED talks.

April 30, 2014 There is nothing that beats mind maps when it comes to increasing one's retention rates.
Mind maps enable our minds to visually process information creating thus strong neural pathways to hold the learned information for an extended period of time. I have always used the power of mind mapping both in my personal studies and also with my students in class. With the proliferation of web 2.0 technologies, you no longer have to depend on pen and paper to draw your mind minds, there are now a number of great web tools and iPad apps that you can use to create mind maps.
Also the benefits of using mind maps are multifarious. Here is a great mind map which highlights 6 benefits of mind maps. Photographs taken by J.C. Burrow show Cornish miners digging for tin in 1890s. Photographs taken by J.C.

Οι μαθητές Πάνος Οικονόμου και Γεώργιος Νικηφόρος Αυγουστίδης βραβεύτηκαν για το παιχνίδι «Behind the Red», το οποίο είναι βασισμένο στην εξερεύνηση του Άρη. To Εuropean Kodu Kup είναι ένας σχολικός διαγωνισμός που πραγματοποιήθηκε για πρώτη φορά στην Ευρώπη και απευθύνεται σε νέα παιδιά ηλικίας 6 – 16 ετών. Στόχος είναι η εξοικείωση των μαθητών με τη μαγεία του προγραμματισμού και της κωδικοποίησης, μέσω μιας διαδραστικής, καινοτόμας και διασκεδαστικής διαδικασίας. Στο πλαίσιο του διαγωνισμού, οι μαθητές κλήθηκαν να αναπτύξουν τα δικά τους παιχνίδια δουλεύοντας σε ομάδες και μαθαίνοντας πώς να δημιουργούν φανταστικούς κόσμους, μοντέλα και προσομοιώσεις.
Στον τελικό προκρίθηκαν οι νικητές της κάθε χώρας (Ελλάδα, Βέλγιο, Εσθονία, Φιλανδία, Λιθουανία, Νορβηγία, Πορτογαλία, και Βρετανία). Nina simone - my baby just cares for me.

Step out at the Oxford Circus stop in London and your ears are immediately assaulted by several different languages at once. That's understandable, considering Oxford street is usually quite crowded—tourists and Londoners alike buzz in and out of the shops and restaurants the street is known for. One of the languages I heard most in that region was French. I thought this was because, in general, London has the most French nationals living there of any other city outside France. A more targeted review shows it's also because a lot of French speakers live in that area. Canvanizer - Photos de couverture.

Feast Your Eyes on This Beautiful Linguistic Family Tree. 552K 18.4KShare337 When linguists talk about the historical relationship between languages, they use a tree metaphor. An ancient source (say, Indo-European) has various branches (e.g., Romance, Germanic), which themselves have branches (West Germanic, North Germanic), which feed into specific languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian). Lessons on language families are often illustrated with a simple tree diagram that has all the information but lacks imagination.
