5 February 2012

My name's Michelle - I'm an Australian living in Prague.  This picture is of me on a peddle boat on the Vltava river (which is obviously hard work).

I've been living in Prague for 7 years now and I still love it here.  I work for Akcent International House Prague as an EFL teacher and teacher trainer (IH CYLT, CELTA and CELTA YL Extension).

I did my CELTA with IH Brisbane and worked there for a year afterwards.  I miss the multilingual classroom but I love the variety of lesson types that I have with Akcent.  It's quite a big school but a small community.  I have always been interested in technology and I'm particularly interested in its classroom applications.  The PodcastingEvo2012 course is the first one like this that I've done and as well as being impressed by everything that's been covered I'm happy to say that it has made me even more enthusiastic about incorporating technology in mine (and hopefully others) teaching.

Outside of teaching I enjoy hanging out with my friends, cooking, craft, reading and travelling - especially my annual camping holiday I have with my sister.
