"WikiEducator is a place where I become we"

I would like to see e-learning available and free worldwide

Since then, I have been involved in the forum discussions via google groups on how to improve communications on WikiEducator, to promote WikiEducator on other social networks I belong to like facebook, ning blogs, wikispaces, wetpaint, pb wiki, learnhub, and wiziq, and pursue my goal on how to make e-learning free worldwide. My interest in sharing and developing free e-learning, inspired me to create a Moodle learning environment called Integrating Technology: Exploring New Domains and use WiZiQ as tool to invite experts to present live online sessions. As a Learning4Content graduate, I hope to start courses on how to make the most of WikiEducator. In addition, I have applied to moderate online courses for new members on how to use WikiEducator via Moodle. I also volunteered my services as Chief Electoral Officer for the First Wikieducator Council Elections.

Next year, I plan to change strategies and involve teachers and students in collaborating on an international literature-sharing project on WikiEducator instead of my Building Relationship Moodle website.

My formal educational background is varied but my informal studies are even more so. I have a BA in English literature and linguistics, an MA in education specializing in curriculum and technology, and am currently completing a doctoral program in educational leadership specializing in curriculum and instruction at the University of Phoenix online. I have been teaching English as a foreign language for over 30 years and integrating technology into the ESL/EFL classroom since the 1990s. I have been involved in international collaborative projects and WebQuests via Moodle for the past 5 years. My first website, Nellie's English Projects was an experiment that evolved from a WebQuest and started me off as a webmistress in the days of html before web 2.0 tools. I facilitate online (Blended and full) and face-to-face workshops on how to use Wikieducator as a collaborative tool to improve instruction and learning and conduct online workshops and conferences. I also moderate live online workshops for Electronic Village Online which is a project of TESOL's CALL Interest Section, storytelling and cultures, and integration of technology and web 2.0 tools into the classroom on WiZiQ.

I am passionate about learning and am currently completing my doctoral studies in educational leadership specializing in curriculum,and instruction online at the University of Phoenix and writing my dissertation. I am researching blended learning and instructor use of technology in higher education. In my spare time, I mentor educators on how to integrate web 2.0 tools for instruction and learning. I would like to see e-learning available and free worldwide.
