You've been working away on your blog too - it can seem rather frustrating at first when pupils don't seem to pay much attention - but I keep reading the encouraging words in baw09 to keep me motivated ! I've just started the 31 day challenge on edublogs ( more like 93 days for me !) - have you seen this ? bye for now Helen in Nice ( soon Grenoble !) Hi Elizabeth

As I live in Grenoble myself, I can say we live in a wonderful town surrounded by the gorgeous mountains you captured so perfectly in your lens. I am a retired ESL teacher, who is delighted to have experienced this digital revolution. The Web 2.0 is not only a fantastic resource library at the click of a mouse but also the possibility for people all over the world to share their creativity. Today students need not be passive listeners, who only regurgitate what the teacher has explained. They can organize their own learning and “teach” others what they have discovered. We can all learn from each other. For language teachers like myself the Web 2.0 is the opportunity to listen to authentic accents in sundry tongues from all over the world and to learn how to “speak” these languages. Thank you, Elizabeth, for reminding us how lovely our world is and how lucky we are to be able to share our feelings with others. Marianne Raynaud Crolles (Grenoble) France Dear Elizabeth,

I love mountains too (Caracas is set in a valley with the Avila Mountain range at its North and several lower ones to the South) and yours in Grenoble are spectacular. The same thing happens here. There are no clouds early in the morning and in about 30 minutes or an hour, the peaks are completely covered. We have no snow, though, and our temperature is from 15-30 degrees Centigrades all year long. I would love to have our students collaborate sometime but most of my courses are on EST reading comprehension and we have no computer labs available for all of them at the moment (I usually have two sections of 25 students each). It would be great to match them for a couple of weeks sometime. I see you have been very active in BaW09. That´s great. All the best, Berta Dear Elizabeth Ann and students,

Grenoble is amazing !I adore moutains and rivers like you .I grew up in Midelt , a similar region to yours in the Mid Atlas mountains of Morocco .A few miles away from Midelt , Al Ayachi mountain which is 3737 meters high stretches like a rainbow in the south East of the town . I used to stay long hours contemplating the greatness and the beauty of this mountain especially when it was covered with snow .Oudad river crossing the town flows from a huge source at the foot of the mountain called Tatiwin .In my childhood , I used to spend summer holidays in the jugly areas of the river .There , I learnt swimming for the first time .There too , I caught my first birds with traps and sling shots .There too I had the dearst and the most terrible souvenirs of my childhood. Now I am a teacher of English at Hassan II high school in Benimellal , Morocco .I have been a teacher of English for 21 years .This year , I teach common core , 1st and 2nd year Baccalaureate students .I like teaching English because English is a beautiful language . Moreover , I can communicate with the whole world .I love and respect students who are hard working and have a high sense of responsiblity because learning ,for me , is a mission that students should do successfully .It is a result of efforts students make ..I still remember when I was chased out of the class by my ex teacher of English when I was 17 because I couldn't understand a single word of what he was sayning and I couldn't catch up with my classmates . I was at the first year of high school which was the first year to learn English in the Moroccan educational .system . From that day I decided to learn English no matter how difficult it might be .Despite the scarcity of resources and books , I managed to become a brilliant student by the end of that year. Since then , I have been convinced that willing is being able . Now the resources are abundant ! Web 2.0 tools are effective and free ! With a few click you can get the information desired .With a few click you can register your voice or publish a comment or participate in aforum . Moreover , teachers are more , understanding and motivated . Take the example of your wonderful teacher Elzabeth , she has created this beatiful blog just to help you communicate with the world and to learn English at your own pace . There are many other web 2.0 tools which you can try by yourselves such as chinswing , vaestro , voicethread , wordle , mychingo , webpaint , pbwiki , netvibes , pageflakes etc Finally , I highly appreciate the efforts your teacher makes to introduce and integrate these tools in her teaching and I will be delighted to see the results of her commitment translated into your hard work and total engagement .

The photos you have taken tell it all!! I am Hala Fawzi, an English language teacher from Khartoum, Sudan. One the major advantages of Web 2.0 is the connection we make. See how apart we are, and , in the mean time, how close we are because of the use of blogs, yahoo groups, wikis and voice tools? Have fun learning English and best wishes. You are lucky to have such a teacher :-) Hala Hi Elizabeth,
