Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog! It is for creative teachers and students. I truely believe that "Ideal teachers are those who use themselves as bridges over which they invite thier students to cross, then having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own" (Nikos Kazantzakis). Hope that you'll be able to find something useful and encouraging here!
