Janet Bianchini is one of the first people I started following when I stepped in twitter and blogosphere. From the day I’ve met her virtually, I received infinite support from her. So for Brad’s blog interview challenge I also wanted to interview her. Before I got her answers, I tried to answer them. Here are…
When I read Brad Patterson’s blog challenge PLN interviews… who’s next ?, I thought it would be difficult for me to choose a member from my PLN as all of them were so important for me and after meeting most of them they’ve become real life friends whom I can rely on as much as my…

This post is written for Shelly Terrell’s #30 goals challenge. It was some years ago. I had the prep classes then which means I had 12 hours with the class to teach grammar. The students I had that year were the laziest or the most demotivated ones in my teaching career. They didn’t have the…
