All about me

Rodrigo is brain n. 1 at the house. He is the guy of “useless” culture. He knows about religion, war and peace, history, planes, world politics. But don’t try to get his reply in an email. He’s the last romantic! If you want to know just about
anything, Rodrigo might tell you!

James Bakker

This is my second wiki page. Check out my first attempt at ELT Poetry.

Maria Claudia Bellusci

This is the last day of week 3. The days have passed in the blink of an eye. I have spent whole days at my computer, reading messages, looking at websites, bookmarking the most interesting ones, building my blog, reading and commenting on others’ blogs, attending webconferences at Alado and LearningTimes, chat sessions at Yahoo Messenger and Tapped In, printing the readings to take to bed… bed? Not until 3 a.m. every day. Fortunately it’s holidays here in Argentina! The busiest holidays I’ve ever had.

Susan Canelo

Well it seems easy, but when I uploaded the photo it took a lot of time and I can’t edit it properly.

_________________________________________

Maria Teresa Ciaffaroni

I had already tried Wiki posting comments and editing them. It’s the first time I create a page. It’s not so difficult once you master the not so many formatting commands

_______________________________________

Elise Couper

This is my initial foray into the world of wiki’s – so it’s very bare bones. I have to explore ways to use it with my students, but it seems like it could be a fun tool for a class.

Analia Doboletta

Why doesn’t my name appear in blue? Not in the sidebar either ;-( I need your HELP!

Angeles Hernandez

After a few trials I was able to get my page. It’s already week 5 but I promised myself not to give up!

Mary Hillis

This is my first experience with wikis and I’m anxious to know if I’ve done this right.

Hello, just playing for the moment

_________________________________________

Vanya Katarska

in BAW the atmosphere is slightly more academic. Tutors give suggestions, a million articles to read and links to follow. It’s more or less like a university – you could play hooky and fall in love instead of studying or you could read all night long, discuss issues with like-minded colleagues and do your tasks. BAW sets no limits – when you conquer one thing, another one appears on the horizon; the student could choose what to learn and practice.

My first page in a Wiki, WoW !!! (vertical bars before and after for box)

Er… Is this the original tabula rasa – the empty board? This application looks like the original drafting machine for the cooperative production of texts – though in ‘real’ life, for this kind of work, I’ve always used the tracking
option in WORD.

In January 2005 when I first joined “Becoming A Webhead” (BAW), a six-week online course in TESOL’s Electronic Village, I felt very nervous because I didn’t know much about Internet technologies in general. I was just learning how to “walk” in cyberspace and got lost every now and then.

My spot in cyberspace – By Berta Leiva

This is the magnificent view I wake up to every morning. Rain or shine, the imposing and majestic Avila Mountain is always there, even if hidden behind dense clouds. In a city of five million people full of high-rise buildings, rush-hour traffic jams, permanent political conflict and surrounded by slums, it is a natural oasis where multicolor butterflies dance in the air, turpial birds are in tune with swinging bamboo clusters and large tall trees waltz to the cool breeze that embraces this natural giant.

Nina’s first Blog – By Nina Liakos

I’ve just spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out how to add a picture to my profile or blog. I’ve installed Hello and something called BloggerBot, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the pictures from my hard disk into any of these things, or to the blog. Then I wrote what I thought was a post, but it disappeared (I think). Aarrgghh!

Babi’s Blog – By Mariana Sava

I’ve read dozens of blogs before but never thought of trying one myself. My idea was that you had to be a techie to manage a blog. Now I see that all you need is a big push from people who know these things (like the baw06 team), then some cheers and…responses, of course. I could use some hugs as well! I am hopeful that I’ll be able to do useful things in this space for and with my students.

I’m Sasha Sirk and this is my first attempt ever to create a website. It’s my BaW06 homework and another of the many new things to learn.

A reusable non-linear personal web notebook. A TiddlyWiki is like a blog because it’s divided up into neat little chunks, but it encourages you to read it by hyperlinking rather than sequentially: if you like, a non-linear blog analogue that binds the individual microcontent items into a cohesive whole. I think that TiddlyWiki represents a novel medium for writing, and will promote its own distinctive WritingStyle.
