Dear Friends,
I'm writing to a group of close friends to share with you some very nice news that I got this morning by phone from Brussels.
I entered an eLearning Award competition of the European Union with my two blogs (each one a separate entry) and I'm one of the finalists (category is a surprise!) who will receive a cash prize (for the school) in Brussels next Dec. 6 at an Education Conference with Ministers of Education from different countries. You can take a look here:
I'm thrilled and still digesting the "fantastic news" that makes me very proud of my students and of my regular BaW and WiA collaborators" without whom none of this would have been possible. My sincere "thank you" to all who collaborated with me and believed in what I was doing.Naturally, I'm also very proud of myself! :-)
There were 561 entries, but I don't know how many finalists. I believe that I'm the only one of 60 Portuguese proposals.
I will be emailing BaW and Evonline2002 after I come back with photos, etc. Joao will be traveling with me.
I just couldn't stand not to share the news with very special friends.
Beijinhos all, Teresa
Dear Tere,
Congratulations!!!!! This is really exciting news! You deserve it, without a doubt. Brava!!!!!!!
Love,
Nina (Liakos) (MD, USA)

This is simply fantastic, and no one deserves it better than you!

Clarinha (aka Claire B. Siskin) (PA, USA)

561entries!! You *should*be proud of yourself.
You deserve it and much much more.You are an inspirer of all of us and a crazy teacher who plants those seeds of encouragement, enthusiastic and learning in a creative and fun way.

Tight hugs,
Hala (Fawzi) (Sudan)

I second what Hala said, Teresa!! That is an amazing accomplishment! Many congratulations to you and your incredibly lovely students!

Paula (Brussels, Belgium)
P.S. If you need a place to stay, my home is a bit out of Brussels, but I have a room with your name on it and I'll drive you wherever you need to go. :-)
Wow Teresa--that's fantastic!!!!!!!! Congratulations and tons of terrific tight hugs!
Jane (Petring) (Quebec, Canada)

Fernanda (Rodrigues) (Portugal)
Dear Teresa,
This is just fantastic news! It's just the reflex of passionate teaching, believing in the power of education to help your kids become informed citizens of the 21st century. You are an inspiration to us all and to your kids. I'm sure they must be thrilled as much as you are! I'd love to see the reaction of the administrators of your school!
Parabéns. Você nos inspira a sermos melhores educadores e acreditarmos no que fazemos.
Please, ask João to take a lot of photos!!!
Beijos,
Carla (Arena) (FL, USA)
Dear Teresa,
it is indeed fantastic news but not surprising news. It is just the confirmation of your hard work and dedication. It does pay off in the end. Congrats. you deserve it. you are a winner. I am proud of you. Thanks for mentoring us all the time with such a collection of good examples and good will.
beijinhos
cristina (Costa) (England)
Dear Tere,
Congratulations. We are very proud of you and your students; you've always been an invaluable asset to our community, WiA, and to teachers worldwide. Frankly, I wasn't surprised by the fantastic news, as you do deserve it. Your devotion and contribution to the profession speak for themselves through your work for your students, Webheads, and teachers wherever in the world.
You are an inspiration to many of us; and I'd like to second Tom Robb when he once described you as a "World's Teacher"; indeed.
Way to go!
XOXO
Buth (Al-Othman) (Kuwait)
Hi Tere!
That's wonderful!! You deserve every Euro of it! I hope there is still money left after you pay for transportaton to Brussels to pick up the reward -- or will that be included, too??
Cheers,
Tom (Robb) (Japan)
Olá, my friend Teresa--and everyone!
This is absolutely marvelous, and it's also 1000% deserved: Parabéns! What you've done for and with your students in Parede is a model for what CMC and CMT/L can and should be.
By the way, are the finalists listed anywhere? I didn't see anything like that at the portal.
You should be proud of yourself--and also of your students.
I was amazed at how many proposals came from Portugal . . . at first. However, after I took a few minutes to reflect and thought about you, Cristina, Fernanda, Ramona, those involved with Ecola 2, and many others, it suddenly seemed only natural that there should be a lot of proposals from there.
I was pleased, by the way, to see a number of proposals from Romania.
I can't wait to see the photos!
Enjoy Brussels! I've been there only once, and that was a very long time in the past (about 40 years ago!!!), but I still have fond memories, especially of La Grand-Place. Travel well and have a fantastic time there!
And I'm sure that all of us are just as thrilled as you are!
Muitos beijinhos e fuertes abraços para você também!
Otra vez, meus felicitações!
And of course, my best regards to João, too!
Dennis (Oliver) (AZ, USA)
This is brilliant Teresa. Congratulations. I'd be proud of myself too :-) And thank you for sharing the news.

congratulations, WONDERFUL TEACHER and FRIEND !
Your friends CHEER and toast to your well-deserved success...!!
( I'd also love to see certain people at your school after the piece of news ;-)))
Wish I could hug you and celebrate together!
Rita (Zeinstejer) (Argentina)
Here's another BIG hug from me! Congratulations Tere :-) Your success is Webheads' success.
Cheers,
Aiden (Yeh) (Taiwan)
Thanks for including me on your list of friends. I went on to the eminent site and it seems they have the right approach. I tagged the site eminent2007 in my del.icio.us and if you blog it be sure and tag it the same way. It looks like we can also follow your photos on flickr if you tag them there, and someone should register that tag with David Warlick's hitchhikr site.
Well, congratulations on being among the finalists. As do many webheads, you work hard at your craft and deserve recognition for perseverence and creativity.
Can't wait to hear more through Webheads,
Vance (Stevens) (UAE)
Dear Teresa, what wonderful news.
A very well deserved honor and recognition to your expertise, kindness,
generosity, creativity and so many other things that are hard to express in
words but the positive vibrations you spread over the world are simply
magnificent and part of all your fantastic qualities. I am so proud of you and
so happy I have met you.
Thanks so much for including me in this wonderful group of people you consider
your colleagues and friends. I hope to meet you someday in the near future.
Muchos besos y cariños,
Berta (Leiva) (Venezuela)
Hi Tere:
I am so happy for you. You have worked hard and are certainly a professional educator with a passion for leading our youth into this dynamic and often turbulent 21st Century. My heartfelt congradulations to you. I know you and Joao will enjoy your time in Brussels, their frets, mussels and exotic beers.
abraço
Andy Pincon (IL, USA)
Hi Tere,
This is excellent news! Well done to you and those lovely learners in Portugal!
I hope you and Joao enjoy the chips, chocolates and Christmas lights! December 6 is a special day too, so watch out for the le Père Fouettard
Hugs to you!

Teresa,
Another stellar accomplishment! Way to go! You deserve all the recognition you get for being innovative and setting such a good example. Well done!
Beijinhos,
Ramona (Dietrich) (Portugal)
Dear Teresa,
I was delighted to read that once again, you have hit the jackpot and one that you richly deserve. At this point in life it's wonderful to see that all of the effort and creativity that you have expended over your years of trying to go against the mainstream with, heaven forbid....something as intimidating as technology, is now paying off with the accolades that you so richly deserve.
Yikes, Tere...did I write that last verbose passage? Ummm, I'm developing into a regular wind bag, eh? LOL
Love and blessings to you from a very cold and expecting snow tomorrow, Boston.
Sharon (Holdner) (MA, USA)
Dearest Teresinha,
Tons of hugs for you! You really deserve this prize. I
am so proud of you and your students. Bravoooo!!!!
Sorry I did not reply before. I have been attending a
F2F seminar with Graham Stanley and the whole week has
been very hectic, no time to read email.
I wonder what the administration in your school will
say about your prize. Tell us!
Enjoy your trip to Brussels :-)
beijinhos!

Dear Dafninha,
I am so thrilled to be receiving this award, because it is also a BaW and WiA award and of how much I/we both have learned and taught.
Lots of hugs and beijinhos,
Teresinha
My dear Tere,
your pride is well deserved and your persistent work in Parede is exemplary; a long lasting demonstration how your young beginner students may enjoy world wide communication with experimental web 2.0 multimedia
I'm certainly going to blog this and will look forward to learn the result. I am sure that your school would benefit from the reward, and hopefully this would also be an eye opener to leaders in your local community of less web savvy teachers!
yours, Sus (Nyrop) (Denmark)
3Dec07
Dearest friends,
Thank you for your lovely and very heartwarming messages. They felt/fell so good!
It's great to have such close friends all over the world and to have received so many enthusiastic messages.
I'm still enjoying this very special moment. My parents are very happy and proud, and so are Joao and my two sons, and my brothers and other relatives.
Joao and I will be traveling on Thursday morning to Brussels. The awards cerimony is at 5.15 pm local time and then there's a gala dinner. Then we stay till Sunday to do some sightseeing. Paula, hope you get in touch with me. :-)
I still don't know which category I've won, nor the prize. It's a surprise! I love surprises. I know that I can say a few words, so I'll take my PDA with me and record what I say and send you. After all, it is an elearning award and my PDA is a big part of my eteaching and elearning.
BTW, this is also a Webheads award, because that's where most of my online change started and where I got the know-how to do what I do. So... kudos to you all!
Thank you again! Beijinhos, Teresa

Dear friends,
I have been in Brussels since Thursday where I received the European Union
International eLearning Award 2007. It was a Gold Prize, I believe in the
category of "the school of the future". I must say that I blocked out when I
saw the CALL Lessons 2005-2007 blog on the big screen and I don't remember a
word of what was said. There was suspense till the last minute about who was
winning what! A mini Oscar Ceremony!!!! ;-)
I was given a chance to say how honored I was with this award, above all, to
dedicate the award to my students in the project and to all the dear BaWers and
WiAers who participated in it. The ceremony was very nice. There were 13
finalists from Iceland to Israel. We were referred to as "a group of excellence
who was doing amazing work" by the President of the jury. A very pleasant Gala
dinner on Thursday closed our very exciting day.
There was a prize in cash and a fabulous Smartboard from my sponsor, SmartTech.
In half an hour Joao and I are meeting Paula Emmert for a brunch. It's going to
be very exciting!
Photos will be up asap.
Thank you once again to all those who participated in my project and to these
two wonderful communities, BaW and WiA, without which this award would not have
been possible.
Hugs and beijinhos all, Teresa
10Dec07
My very very dear friend Teresinha!!!!
MORE THAN CONGRATS ONCE AGAIN!!! I sent you my congratulations on this so well deserved award..., and it seems you did not get it...:-((((
For some reason, our messages are getting lost in the cyberspace somewhere!!!! I haven't received ANY of those you mention with a draft, I am sorry to say.
Anyway, the good thing of all is that you have truly enjoyed your trip, that it was a balm to your tired body and spirit (what else, with the efforts you make and the stamina you put in everything you do !!!!)
Well, I hope this bag of vitamins has a lasting effect..., until your next trip!
BTW, it may well be the one to Manhattan, which we'll enjoy together...;-)
Hugs to Joao, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOTS for you!!!!!
Rita (Argentina)
Teresa,
The prize could only go to you and we all knew it from the very beginning
:-). Congratulations again. The work you have been doing at your school and
your involvement with BaW and WiA during these years has been exemplary. I
hope that now that you have won the award, the school and other teachers
will finally decide to model after you. So proud of you !!!
Warm hugs from Brazil,
Bee (Brazil)
Brilliant!
Congratulations, Teresa.
Bill (Williams) (Portugal)

Even though I have congratulated you privately, I have
to join the WiA crowd to say again that this is a
highly deserved prize for you and your students :-)
You have had our recognition since 2002 when we
started in WiA, and this international prize is just a
confirmation of what we have known all along. I am
sure your students will love the Smartboard :-)
A tight warm hug,
Daf (Venezuela)
Dear Teresa,
This is truely a well-deserved price for you, and your students too
have been very wonderful. I therefore congratulate you million times.
I consider this another honour to webheads family.
Keep it up Teresa
Cheers
Lawan (Dalha) (Nigeria)
It's rarely any surprise when a Webhead is recognized for an exceptional award.
In this case, it comes as /no/ surprise that Teresa has been so
accorded. The absolute truth is that all those who have followed her
work, either inside her classrooms, or at various conferences, or via
virtual means, -- all those will easily join in our applause.
Somewhat related, yesterday I watched Al Gore accept his Nobel and
could not help myself but think that it is sad that the world of
education doesn't have a prize as well known as the Nobel. If there
was such a prize, people like Teresa, and many, many, many other
Webheads, would be frequent nominees. (Part of the reason we put on
Global Learn Day was to provide a stage and megaphone....as it turns
out, way, way, way too small for those who helped with the
scaffolding --- and those to whom our spotlight was pointed.
alas.....)
Happily, all this also brings to mind Barbara Dieu and Teresa Almeida
d'Eca -- The Portuguese Twins -- who, like Mr. Gore, performed their
keynote role with grace, acumen and profundity.
Congratulations Teresa for your award. Thank you Barbara and Teresa
for your contributions to our event.
Thank you Webheads for valuable work of an extraordinary kind.
John Hibbs (OR, USA)
Dear Teresa, great award I am very happy for you. Congratulations!!!!
Emma (Miliani) (Italy)

Congratulations and enjoy it!!!

More clapping from another friend, who knows of your dedication, of the
quality of your work, of the investment of time and effort and of joy
as well in all your commitments, with your students, with your
colleagues, with everybody who got lucky enough to approach your wisdom
and generosity.
Congrats once again, now in public, you deserve loud applause!!!

Parabéns, dear Teresa and students, Parabéns!
I am absolutely unsurprised to learn that the 2005-2007 CALL Lessons won a gold prize at the EUN eLearning Awards 2007 ceremony—but I am wonderfully happy to learn that you have gained even wider recognition for the outstanding work that you're doing.
What a shining example you are for all who are interested in computer-mediated teaching and learning!
Felicitações!

Because of teachers like you, there are more students who are delighted to learn. Thank you so much for what you are doing! I am truly proud to be one of your students - I am going to tell about your award to my colleagues and boast that I had a chance to 'know' you on-line.

This is a new blog I began at the end of 2007 and now I am trying to include different posts before I'll try to divulgate it to the teachers of langugages in latinamerica...I still think that it's possible to motivate some of our colleagues to use ICT.
Congratulatios for you and your students for the award...and thanks for all your cooperation with me.

[To Baw08 participants]
I had a two-hour interview by a national radio station about my recent international "eLearning Award 2007" and my work with ICTs since 1996. It was fun. I had never been to a radio studio, only to a TV studio back in 1999. The interviewer was a very pleasant person, who had explored my work online very well.
The interview is in Portuguese and includes music that I like, so if the
Portuguese-speaking participants are interested, I'll give you the Web
address as soon as I get it.
Hugs, Teresa
Dear Teresa,
Nice to hear about the interview!!! Iam happy for you!
Unfortunately I do not speak Portuguese :-(
Congratulation!
Zsofi (from Hungary, also winner of the eLearning Awards 2007)
Dear Teresa,
I would like to join Zsoia in congratulating you on your international "e-Learning Award 2007" and the interview on the national radio!
Though I do not speak a single word in Portugese, I would love to listen to your interview and the wonderful music you mentioned :-)
It just occurred to me that in case there is a transcript in English, we could learn a bit of Portugese :-)
My heartiest congratulations!
Best,
Elfina (Russia)

Deare Teresa,
A deep heartedly Congratulations!
I would also love to ehar your favourite music in Portuguese!
Did you take photo for the Studio?
Hugs,
Hala (Sudan)
Dear Elfina and Zsofi,
Thank you for your very warm "congratulations" messages. I thought it was quite interesting to be invited to talk about a very special part of my career that started in 1996, the point in time when I delved into a whole "new world", ICTs in education.
I'm just now listening to the interview. It's at
http://ww1.rtp.pt/multimedia/index.php?prog=2754
There is no English script, so you'll have a great chance to learn
Portuguese. :-)
Hugs both, Teresa
Dear Teresa,
I am joining in with everyone else with my warmest congratulations
on your getting international
"e-Learning Award 2007" and the interview on the national radio!
I feel very happy to meet you and learn under your guidance.
Thank you for the work that you are doing for the international
Community of teachers interested in ICT
With best wishes,

dafne: a good presenter

Dear Teresa,
It´s so nice to hear your Portuguese that sounds a little different from ours! "Miudos" is really a nice word for "children".We never use that word in this way here in Brazil.I also loved the interviewer´s voice !
In fact, it´s so nice to see your work being recognized ! Now you´re really famous!
Nice to be here again this year!
Um grande abraço,
Isabel Teixiera (Brazil)
Dear Teresa,
Along with the others, I would like to congratulate you on your award. That's wonderful! Thanks for sending the link to the radio interview.

Congratulations on receiving this prestigious award! This
is so impressive, but not surprising, considering the innovative
work with have done on the CALL Lessons blog! It is also amazing
what you have been able to accomplish with such young learners
who are at the beginning levels of language proficiency. Very
exciting and well deserved!
