Personal Interests and Passions
Currently, I am working on my Professional Development Curriculum and Personal Learning Network participating very actively on online educational debates, discussions, Facebook for Educational purposes and groups (currently 30 Goal Challenge for Educators), attending free webinars by Cambridge, Oxford, and Pearson Education all concerning ICT, Education, Language Teaching, Classroom Management, Digital Literacies, Storytelling, using Twitter for Education updates (Graham Stanley´s concepts finally convinced me) and Pinterest, thanks to a great virtual colleague friend Sylvia Guinan (an Irishwoman living in Greece): to post articles I am really interested in. Lately, I have become a volunteer advisor for Cambridge English Teacher (CET) where I have completed an online course on Classroom Management and working on Grammar Awareness for Teachers. Also, I have received my OneStopEnglish Fan Badge by MacMillan (by regular mail=very rare in Argentina where many things get "lost". Besides, I have completed a couple of online Professional Development courses in British Council Connecting Classrooms website. Thanks to Gonzalo Ronzetti (Argentina) I started blogging a couple of days ago, when I finished an online course on Blogs. Last but not least, I am studying a Specialization in Education and ICT offered by the Ministry of Education in Argentina. Even though my participation in Social Media started about a year ago, I have made online friends with the most interesting and kind educators: Maria Bossa, Shelly Sanchez Terrell, Rita Zeinstejer (TIC en el Aula together with the great Jennifer Verschoor) Barbara Hoskins, Dr Nellie Deutsch, Jason Levine, among others I am going to mention in my upcoming blog post: "My Online Friendship and Collaboration with Educators around the world": Does my husband understand it?, no, he does not!!. Preparing students to sit Cambridge International examinations is a very interesting task but it limits you to just presenting, explaining and testing if your classes last from 40 to 80 minutes like mine. So, this year to spice up my classes, I decided to step out of my "comfort zone" and started “flipping” and "blending" my lessons using Edmodo. I am just a rookie in this field, I feel I still have a long way to go: in 2012 I took an online course with Jennifer Verschoor (Argentina) about technology in the English classroom which really helped me understand how to use some tools: my baby steps (Shelly Terrell´s piece of advice) are slow but anything I achieve, no matter how little it is, fills me with true pride and joy!. My desire to stay connected grows more and more every day. The more I read, the more that I want to learn. Since then, I have made friends online with whom we share passion and knowledge. However, this passion is not so easy to hold because being a full time mom, educator and learner takes a lot of time and effort, not to mention my precious hours of sleep.

More About Me
My name is Fabiana Laura Casella. I am a passionate EFL-ESL teacher, blessed mother of two angels God sent us and very interested in art, music, literature, history, education, psychology and being a connected educator. I am a certified Teacher of English as a Foreign Language in my home country, Argentina. In 1989, I got my Bachelor’s Degree in TEFL/TESL which enables me to teach from Pre-Elementary to Secondary School students. By the time I became a teacher of English as a Foreign Language, I had already been working at Primary School level, teaching private lessons and businessmen very early in the morning, during lunch time or in the evening. It did work for some time, but I really enjoyed teaching pre-teens and teenagers much more. I would be totally unfair if I do not say that my evening adult groups as well as my very early in the morning groups were fantastic learners. However, I made my choice and decided to teach only Secondary School classes for a very long time, which is what I still do. Moreover, since 1988, I have been teaching Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate and Advanced EFL to children, adolescents and adults in private international educational institutions preparing them to sit Cambridge Assessment Examinations. Later, I began to work as a private tutor of Spanish As A Foreign Language to Business travelers and exchange students f2f and online, during their stay in Argentina.
