    My Learning Journey

    A question of trust …?

    August 30th, 2010 by Cristina Costa

    My 3rd grade teacher

    July 28th, 2010 by Cristina Costa

    Academic publishing

    July 24th, 2010 by Cristina Costa

Once I fully recover from all the traveling, and provided I survive my interim assessment, I might post something about effective writing, which was what made me apply for that summer school in the first place. Today however, I want [...]

    July 15th, 2010 by Cristina Costa

    Making it personal and meaningful

    July 13th, 2010 by Cristina Costa

    We’ve made it! I just can’t believe that the first edition of the PLE Conference already belongs to the past. But it’s true. It happened last week.

    Lunch break reflection

    May 12th, 2010 by Cristina Costa

    I am still stranded in Europe, waiting to return to the UK. If everything goes as planned I will touch British soil tomorrow. Meanwhile I have been working online. And if it weren’t for the fact that I had to postpone some rather important meetings, my absence in the office would have probably gone unnoticed. And [...]

    Our role…our goal

    April 20th, 2010 by Cristina Costa

    So today I don’t have many words. Well, to be exact, I have none. I think Heidi says it all in the video below. This is set in the context of school education, but if we are able to see beyond it, we will realise that in any other learning context… in any other life context [...]
