Interview 4 of The 30 Goals Challenge for Educators. Click the link to find out more about the 30 Goals Challenge for Educators.
For 2013, we are Hanging Out with some of the past and current participants of the 30 Goals Challenge for Educators. Today, I had the pleasure of hanging with Sylvia Guinan, who is one of the newest participants of The 30 Goals. Sylvia is an online teacher from Greece who does very creative lessons in an online platform. Her blog has won awards for its vast ideas and is one of my favorite blogs. Watch the video interview and/or leave Sylvia a comment! You can also type in a question by visiting our 30 Goals Facebook group and adding your question there. The recorded video interviews are on this Youtube 30 Goals playlist.
A New Idea: Tagging Participants
Sylvia is the first one to take on a new idea we are doing for the 2013 30 Goals. We will be Hanging with current participants of the 30 Goals Challenge as well as past participants. I am letting you decide who I interview next by a tagging system. The way this will work is when I interview a current participant, that participant will have to name another current participant for me to interview next. Sylvia is the first one to tag someone and she tagged Fabiana Casella, a teacher from Argentina.
