About Me
I have dual roles in the Division of Adult and Career Education: I'm an in-classroom teacher of ESL for adult immigrant students at Pacoima Skills Center, and I'm a teacher adviser at the division level in ESL programs. My main area of focus as a teacher adviser is training our division's ESL instructors in the use of and integration of technology in their teaching. In that role, I also collaborate with other teacher advisers in integrating technology into our ESL course outlines and other publications. Being a classroom teacher gives me the opportunity to experiment with the technologies that I learn about with my own students. For me, it's a perfect combination!

    Hi Barry,

    Wiziq is very easy to use. There are examples of students participating in public sessions, but I don't think full on presenting. In the private sessions I think there are examples of students presenting but they are, of course, private.

    I think you should give it a shot. :)


    The basic service is free.

    Hi Barry,

    I know that videos brought into the session are not made part of the recording. This was a decision a year ago by Wiziq but now they're changing this.

    Does blogging diminish feelings of writing anxiety in EFL writing class or increase it? Because their works being read by others.
