This project gave me a great opportunity to evaluate myself,
to improve my teaching abilities and to develop selfconfidence to my students. It was a difficult period in my
activity and a productive one as well. I have learnt how to use
online resources easy, for free and how to relate them to each
group particularity. I am extremely thankful for being part of
this team. Thanks to Blogging School my lessons are much
more creative, interactive and diverse. I am a good example
for my colleagues, the most creative teacher for my students,
and of course just a brave for myself (because I have finished
it successfully). Thanks to my mentor Christiana, my students'
motivation has raised enormously. She was like a Durasell
battery for them. Now, they call me and speak to me in
English, ask about her only in English and are very eager to
see her again.
As I said during the Final Conference- Blogging for me is like
a "lady purse". It needs little space, it contains all the
necessary things I need , and thanks to it I look fashionable
and stylish.
For those who will read this message and will think about
getting involve in this or not- just do it, you will not regret about
anything.

My dear Blogging Family! This is exactly how I
feel about everything that happened to me during
these 5 months. The experience I got, the people I
met, the things I learnt - make a whole universe for
me as an EFL teacher. As I mentioned in my
presentation earlier, teachers leave legacies of
relationships and those are priceless. I want to say
a HUGE THANKS to all our trainers!
Speaking about the contribution Blogging school
brought into my life - it's obvious! Can you imagine
- my students keep asking me about the next
round of assignments and they MEAN it!
A special THANKS to my mentor, Mrs. Lisa Gill,
who was really supportive and motivating!
Final Conference was a REAL success and I am
proud that I was a part of this extraordinary event!

"The EFL Blogging School Project" meant a great
improvement for me. As a project participant, my
interest was continuously piqued through various
new teaching technologies.
Sometimes I felt like a student who has weekly
homework, but it was done with pleasure. My
students felt the same pleasure by taking part in
different interesting activities and they liked to have
information in electronic format. They like to work, to
assimilate new knowledge and using new
informational technologies.
Also I would like to add the fact that we can
collaborate with other EFL Blogging School Project
participants and exchange teaching ideas.
Now I am proud to have my own professional ePortfolio, where I keep my teaching materials.
I am very thankful to the EFL Blogging School
Project team. THANK YOU!!!

"I still can't believe it's over. I feel such a pity deep in my
soul... I don't know why, but I still keep planning my end-ofday time to make room for accomplishing assignments:)).
It was such a huge experience for me unlike those ones we
are supposed to gain during our regular courses aimed to
"enhance" our professional qualification.
I indeed learnt so many new things which I am going to
really USE in my teaching practice and which, I Am SURE,
will increase my students interest in studying English.
Thank you for all your efforts, Thank you for being patient
with us, and thank you for this amazing world you let us
discover and become a part of. I will definitely keep asking
all trainers for advice and, know for sure, will receive it in its
best form accompanied by some even more useful tips. I
am grateful a lot and looking forward to something new!

"I am very glad that I had the possibility to participate in this
very interesting, knowledgeable and useful project. It gave
me a lot of opportunities and formed many skills, first of all
digital, writing, speaking, etc.
This project developed me like a teacher for the 21st
century. My students are very proud of me. My colleagues
were very surprised to see so many tools that can be used
at our lessons. They couldn't understand how I could learn
and use so many tools during this project.
My students told me: "Mrs. Mary you are a very cool
teacher. We are the only one school that can complete the
tasks online." Some students told me that blogs can be
very useful tools for their future business.
But, the most important thing in this project is that it made
me sure in my capacity to motivate students in learning
English. I have already observed some results and I am
glad for them.
Also, through this project I could find new friends (my
colleagues from other regions of Moldova).

"What could have been better than a tight collaboration and learning new
things every and single day for a pretty long period of time. How many new
emotions and knowledge had arrived into our souls and minds! How many
new ideas we created in our Teachers' everlasting flow of creativity and
spirit. All these on-line instruments and tools, knowledge and modern
methods and approaches made everybody closer to the other colleague,
made us much more open and discovered unusual possibilities for
collaboration.
That rigorous time and tempo made life indeed different and attractive.
This course taught us many techniques and teaching instruments that we
can implement together with our traditional approach. But at the same time
we realized how diverse our work can be!
Teaching--is a noble profession indeed.
And thank to the American Councils for International Education in Moldova,
US Embassy and all the Organizers of this wonderful course, all those who
made it possible and advance our possibilities and skills, we grew
considerably.

And what is more important, is that such fruitful communication and work
made more teachers collaborate and share and formed a fantastic
community of peace and perfection, spreading the atmosphere of harmony
and desire to make this teaching world a better place.
