European Union International eLearning Award 2007 for Teresa!!!

Dear friends, 
I've just created a wiki about the eLearning
Awards 2007.

http://ela07.pbwiki.com/

It includes messages from BaWers and WiAers,
because they are very special. However, if any of you
do not want yours online, please let me
now.My photos are not up yet, but there are several photos
from the awards ceremony.
Hugs all,
Teresa

 I have been in Brussels since Thursday where I received the
European Union International eLearning Award 2007. It was a
Gold Prize, I believe in the category of "the school of the
future". I must say that I blocked out when I saw the CALL
sessons 2005-2007 blog on the big screen and I don't remember
a word of what was said. There was suspense till the lastminute
about who was winning what! A mini Oscar Ceremony!!!! ;-)
I was given a chance to say how honored I was with this award,
above all, to dedicate the award to my students in the project
and to all the dear BaWers and WiAers who participated in it. The
ceremony was very nice. There were 13 finalists from Iceland
to Israel. We were referred to as "a group of excellence who
was doing amazing work" by the President of the jury. A very
pleasant Gala dinner on Thursday closed our very exciting day.

Thank you once again to all those who participated in my project
and to these two wonderful communities, BaW and WiA, without
which this award would not have been possible.

Hug and beijinhos all,
Teresa
