Hi everyone!

It’s Héctor, from Girona (Spain). I’ve recently moved myself here, because I’m Spanish. However, I was living for almost five years in Bogotá (Colombia). Since 2012, I’m working teaching computational thinking doing a sort of different activities: bootcamps, workshops, robotics, creating videogames, and so on.

At this moment, I’ll work advising teachers around to implement maker and innovative methodologies to their classes.

To conclude, I want to do this course, because I desire to know more teachers, school leaders, and parents, linked with the same educational feelings as myself.

Hi All! My name is Vladěna, I am Czech, living in Germany. It is my second time in the community, this time I have some learning/thinking objectives at intersections of LCL & physical activity - I am thinking towards reducing sedentary learning time : )

I have read the Lifelong Kindergarten book couple times since my first LCL, and have been inspired to a include the Ps in design for tertiary and adult education and teacher professional development.

I always appreciate the opportunity this community gives us for peer learning, and of course for playful projects and passion sharing. I would also love to discuss any ideas you may have that touch on LCL and democratic education and transferable skills development.

Cheers, V.

Hello! I am Julia, originally from Maine but 24 years into teaching computer science at the elementary level in a suburb of Pittsburgh in the USA. Like many, my courses have been interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic since the spring of 2020. I will resume my full schedule in the fall of 2022 so I am making sure that I am up-to-date with my understanding of the LCL topics! Looking forward to learning with you.

I am Debbie from Pittsburgh (now) and DC (originally). I have been in education for almost 16 years as a teacher, instructional coach, and professional development specialist. I am passionate about teaching and learning – and I believe that both should be joyful. I am looking forward to learning from everyone here over the next few weeks!

Outside of work/school, I love to spend time with my family and travel – anywhere. I have two teenagers – 17 & 19, one of whom is out on his own and the other is starting to look at colleges. I also have two dogs – a German Shepherd and a Pug. The dogs actually have more in common than my children; at least they agree that they hate each other!
