I'm Barbara Dieu or Bee as people call me online. I am presently on a sabbatical from the Franco-Brazilian secondary school, where since 1983 I have been teaching English to middle/high school teens preparing for the French baccalauréat.  Before that I worked at the Cultura Inglesa, a language institute in São Paulo, as an advanced level assistant coordinator, teacher and oral examiner for FCE and CPE (Cambridge Certificate and Proficiency Exams).

I have been online since 1997,  involved in collaborative projects with my classes and more recently, organizing professional development workshops/courses for teachers using open and social media tools and platforms. I am a member of a number of national and international communities of practice, coordinate the EduTech SIG for BrazTesol and co-run Dekita.org, whose aim is to showcase, highlight, discuss and promote open and participatory uses of the Web in ELT.

I'd like to welcome you to one such moment in the Dekita kitchen and hope you will enjoy preparing and sharing the meal :-)
