My B4B week 2 task
January 25, 2007
Another year, another EVO workshop, another homework. Actually it’s 3 EVO workshops this time and a whole lot of homework. It’s been a lot of fun but also hard time trying to keep up with everything. I’m taking Becoming a Webhead (BaW), Blogging for Beginners (B4B), and ESP Potpourri (ESP). There are other workshops I’d love to take, but 3 are already way too many.
Anyway, one of our 2nd week tasks in the blogging group is creating a Blogger account. I thought instead of creating a new blog, I’d rather keep breathing life into this existing, sadly neglected one. As explained in the previous post in Slovenian, I opened it last year as BaW 06 homework but I never really knew what to use it for. BaW 06 (exploring web 2.0 tools) was my first online course and a wonderful experience – I liked it so much that I have returned for more (like a whole lot of other old friends). This time I was thrilled to find aboard another Slovenian BaWer, Jasna from Ljubljana. Anyway, unsure what to use the blog for, I named it Cyberattic – after my grandmother’s attic which was crammed with lot’s of interesting stuff - my favorite getaway in the childhood years.
Encouraged by Šarolta, a dear colleague and dedicated blogger from Slovenia, I published the first post months after opening the blog, after attending another computer-related hands-on workshop (this time physically, in Ljubljana, Slovenia) organized by our LSP association (The Slovene Association of LSP Teachers). Blogs and wikis were used for collaborative work following the workshop.
It’s been a while since my last and only post here was published, my universal excuse for not keeping up with everything I would like to being my sweet little family (on the picture below, drawn by my 4 year-old). I’m not sure anymore which one is me though, I’ll have to ask the artist when he returns from the kindergarden.
I don’t know if my posting habits are going to change drastically in the near future, but at least I’m fulfilling my 2nd week task in Blogging for Beginners. 
If I manage to get more into the habit of writing, I would like to use this blog to record my cyber explorations and implementations of interesting tools in classroom.

Hi Sasha!!!
)Loved the drawing of your family by your child!!!
Glad to see you’ve posted in English this time… Now I can join in! (not sure you want that, anyway!
I’m a terribly irregular blogger in my personal blogs, so I can’t give you sound advice there (shouldn’t, at least!), but I’ve found huge rewards in blogging with my classes… Whatever your blogging path is, don’t despair! When the time is ripe, you’ll take off!
Love,
Gladys

Hi Sasha,
Your blog’s appearance is very attractive and you’ve made it so personal by adding the drawing!
Even though we have a lot of EVO tasks to do, it is a pleasure to complete them because we can interact with teachers and friends from all over the world! Keep blogging,

Dear Sasa,
Now that you opened for comments, I could finally talk to you…
You know, when I saw your son’s photo, I started laughing! Caio, my 4-year-old son, has very similar drawing! So, my conclusion is that drawing is certainly a universal language!
Hope that from now on you keep blogging, blogging and blogging!
Beijos,

Oh, I forgot to mention that I just love the title of your blog, Cyberattic! It seems a cozy place to be…

Hi sasha!
I wonder how did you do go open your comments so beautiful? It look as if they had a template too, mine open up in a different window however without a colour background..
Apart form that I love the cyberkitchen idea. I am working on an etwinning project and you have made me come to a good idea to deal with: giving directions (I am teaching primary) this is to share in a “cyberkitchen” our favourites recipes from our students and the ones from the twinned school…lots of smells and tastes and lots of English.
Thanks for the inspiration and take care.
