Online tutor at the MA in Digital Technologies for Language Teaching. Integrating Web 2.0 tools for active and creative learning.
I have a Master’s degree in e-learning from the University of Edinburgh, UK and I am a teaching associate at the University of Nottingham, UK and an Information and Communication Technology teacher at the Directorate of Secondary Education of Drama, Greece. I have extensive experience in teaching ICT and computer science subjects to students of all ages – from primary school children to mature adults – as well as guiding in-service teachers on how to integrate digital tools effectively and in a meaningful way in their courses.
It is my conception that teacher collaboration, though challenging it may be, is the basis for creativity and innovative teaching as it allows for a synergy of minds and skills bonded in a synthetic endeavor that no single member could have completed independently. Therefore, I have been actively involved in several pedagogical projects (eTwinning and Comenius - now Erasmus+) in collaboration with teachers across Europe. Additionally, in collaboration with a small group of teachers, I started an initiative titled ICT4ALL (http://ict4all.gr) with the aim to organise and run professional development courses on digital technologies for in-service teachers. At the University of Nottingham I developed and currently tutoring the module “Telecollaboration in Language Learning” for the distance learning MA “Digital Technologies for Language Teaching” and supervise students in their dissertation research.
My research interests revolve around the use of social media for educational purposes, online course design, assessment as learning, and telecollaboration.
