About Me
I am a high school English teacher in Jerusalem, originally from London, England.
I am interested in integrating more technology in the EFL Classroom and doing collaborative projects with classrooms in other countries to promote understanding and tolerance.

    Lucky woman : i dream for sabbatica year ;-). Maybe you can help me even if you have no student this year. We'll watch soon with my students "Promises" and i would like join by chat or visio some persons living like you in Israel. I visited a few tears ago Hand to Hand School at Jerusalem and i think they work very well for education to peace. Same feelings in an arab school at Tamra. And same feelings with a palestinanian NGO in West Bank. I met also Hannah Lazman, the mother of the twins in the film Promises: she was so fine ! This is the reason why i try to contact israelian teachers... Check out our site at http://horslesmurs.ning.com , i'll put very soon pages about history of Israel. I worked a few years ago with a brilliant french historian Georges Bensoussan who has writen an excellent history of sionism, one of the best book in France on this topic
