Formal learning is always organised and structured, and has learning objectives.

Hello everyone. Nice to see you here on my learning diary blog page. My name is Alyona Kelleci.  I'm a teacher of English in Antalya, Turkey. And I'm interested in building friendship with foreign schools, not only for myself, but for my students, so that they will be able to communicate in English with students from different countries all over the world. I am not an ICT professional but I like learning new things and using technology. Now I am attending " The Networked Teacher – Teaching in the 21st Century" course on European Schoolnet Academy. Hope it will be useful for my professional development.
