The magic of ! Teresa Almeida d’Eça University of Pittsburgh 23 October 2000

and me love at first sight! inseparable ideal match: we go together like soup & sandwich

favourite means of communication enhanced personal and professional development: peer contact, student exchanges, etc.

and the teacher/my career opening up of perspectives and horizons no more excuse for typical teacher ‘isolation’: fabulous world of contacts at fingertips infinite world of information 24hrs/day, 365 days/year

constant sharing of hints, ideas, plans, experiences, knowledge invaluable tool for professional development: mailing lists, newsgroups, distribution lists [pn], updates [nytimes], personal messages discovery of a New World: similar to Columbus´s discovery of this New World 5 centuries ago??!! ;-)

and my students magic words  exchange (eyes brighten up and ears seem to grow antennas) magical new world of contacts and experiences

atmosphere –total support and solidarity (back me up 100%) –excitement about getting in touch with kids from distant cultures, countries, continents –high levels of motivation, interest and engagement (including weaker students) –good standards of collaborative work –good and healthy support of weaker students

–healthy added confusion, excitement and noise –permanent expectation: ‘have we got mail?’ –absolute excitement: ‘you’ve got mail!’

curious peculiarities –added care and attention to their writing:‘phobia’ of correctness –correction: peer (mainly) and teacher (minimum) –more easily notice keypals’ mistakes than own! –some improvement of writing and reading skills

–mixture of business and pleasure training & added knowledge in new communication and information skills ( & the Net for research) integration of new technologies into the curriculum in a natural way –excitement about being part of a pioneering experience –proud of having work and names on the Net

, friends and family informality of new contacts and friendships magic of daily contact with my family –convenience (assynchronous: different time zones) –speed (of light) –immediacy (‘just-in-time’) –low cost (‘a local phone call away’)
