My Dream Classroom

I used Gliffy to design my dream classroom. Gliffy seems to be very user-friendly and have lots of tools you can use. My dream classroom: with tables which allow several room layouts: round, square, etc. mobile devices available to each learner (laptop, tablets, smartphons, etc), IWB, TV,  printer, copy machine, access to Internet via wi-fi, good room temperature = air conditioning, good lightening. Some plants to make it more pleasant and at the back some extra round tables and devices in case of invited learners/teachers would come.

My hobbies

One of my hobbies is playing football. At work we created a women´s football club and last May we had our first tournament, 15. Atomiade 2015, in Geel, Belgium. We were the single women football team and therefore we played 7 games against male teams - we acquired a lot of experience. However, we got the "Best Fairplay Team" trophy and others.

I also love swimming, travelling, writting and playing with my nephews and nice.

About me

My name is Catarina Pascoal and I am very interested in using technology for teaching Portuguese for Foreigners. I started exploring this subject in 2008/2009 and since then I am in love with it. It´s amazing the variety of tools available to teach and to engage your students!
