OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE

This is me.

My name is Romina and I am 31. I have been teaching English for some years now. So far, I have seen quite a few students parade along the timeline of my teaching life; I have, in many cases, had the chance to see them grow and mature and, I have, in some way or another, seen them change. In fact, I sometimes believe I have somehow changed a little myself. Still, there is one thing that has remained intact: my passion for teaching--I simply love our profession.

Personally, I have always believed that stepping out of the comfort zone is one of the greatest challenges we should all face day to day, both in life and in our teaching profession--somewhat of a macabre craving for glorious uncertainty; you know that there, in the realm of uncertaintly, is where the magic happens--or it doesn't, but at least you tried.

I mean, look at us: after all (and despise all facts and weathers) here we are: making some room in our lives for blog sharing, and online avatar making, and padlet using, and power-point screening, and blog adjustments and, and... only to become a better version of ourselves as teachers. And suddenly --and quite unexpectedly and rather serendipitously, I daresay--here we are: hopefully, one step "wiser" and a little more knowledgeable, somehow?

What if technology has arrived, not to be the biggest curse in our excessively modern teaching life, but to force us all teachers leave the comfort zone, once more?--that is, "if we cannot beat them, why don´t we better join them?"

Ready to spice up our teaching journey out of the confort zone with some technological tools?
