They will explore how images can be used in educational settings for photo sharing, storytelling, slideshows and comics creation, as well as understand how Creative Commons licensing can be beneficial for classroom use.

I'm a Brazilian EFL educator who's passionate about teaching. I'm curious and always in search of online tools that can add value to my teaching practices and hook up students to learn. I truly believe in the transformational power education holds when we find the right means to engage, enchant and motivate our learners.
I'm a teacher trainer at a Binational Center in Brasilia. I've been more and more involved in e-learning projects, devising online sessions and teaching them. I'm a a blogging fan (or addict!) and enthusiastic Webhead.
I'm really excited about this online journey. For the past two years, I've co-moderated the Blogging4Educators session, but I'm up to this challenge of a session with wonderful souls.

Hello, I am a Collaborative Content Coach for Technology for our school district of 1460 students in Wells Ogunquit Community School District, Maine. In 2005, I completed a course during the online Electronic Village, Becoming a Webhead. That one course opened the door to so many opportunities that I am happy to "pay it back" by being part of this collaborative course. I am also a Webcaster at EdtechTalk, blogger at TechLearning.com, member of WoW2.0, presenter and lover of technology.

Hi! I am an EFL and German teacher at a secondary school in Portugal. I'm passionate about technology and also about teaching using it. About one year ago I joined the Webheads and since then I haven't stopped learning about the potential of the Web 2.0 tools in education. Last year I started using these tools with my students, namely blogs, Google Docs and wikis. I have blogged about this experience in my blog here http://joaocarlosalves.eu

I'm a Brazilian EFL teacher and teacher trainer and have been working at Casa Thomas Jefferson, a binational center in Brasília, for the past 7 years. Carla Arena and Erika Cruvinel, who also work at Casa Thomas Jefferson, were the guilty ones for really getting me involved in technology-enhanced language teaching/learning by inviting me to become a webhead, so I'm very thankful to them. I'm now an enthusiast about student-driven online projects and am willing to share ideas and experiences.
