Currently,I am part of a team that is redesigning some of the courses in the Virginia tech Master's Program. Before that I had an assistantship at the Educational technology lab. I am Brazilian, from Rio de Janeiro. In Rio, I cooperate with the Rio Metro School Board of Education and I am an international relations assistant for the Educopedia Project (Link above). I have been an educator for about 20 years. When I finish my course, in about two years, my plans are to get into higher education in a resort in Rio (Buzios - Cabo Frio) and run an exchange program for teacher training purposes.
I read a lot. Wrote the Lit Review for the ePorffolio project. Prepared myself for the oral qualifying and worked on the SMART Board project as well. It was a very productive spring Break.
