Dear All,
My name is Mariia Ruban. I have been teaching English at secondary schools in Ukraine since 1984. Have had a lot of experience facilitating teenagers with the opportunity to become conscious sitizens.
Believe that the teacher has more power in their classroom than any Prime Minister in their Cabinet. So I have been doing my best to use this opportunity and make a difference in my learners' lives.
I have been thinking teaching and teaching thoughts since I graduated from the Pedagogical University in 1984.
I am here on the course to learn and share.
Hope the course will be enjoyable to all.
CU there :)
Oh, forgot to mention i haven't had experience in teaching online, but have always wanted to start doing this. It's the right tine to develop the skill as the system of education in Ukraine is going through changes and the emphasis is on online facilitation and collaboration. So I am here because of this. Thank you iTDi team for giving a great opportunity.
