Anna Varna, virtually last year and this year in the flesh

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by on April 14, 2011

Anna was one the people I watched ISTEK with last year, but she was in Greece and I was in Hungary. It was an amazing experience and one which I will never forget. We both went in for the roving reporter competition when it was announced, we both got to the voting stage and thankfully we both ended up in Istanbul.

I was interested in asking Anna about how it felt like to be actually in Istanbul this time as well as about her session.

Anna, together with Marina Kollatou, did a workshop entitled ” Is the kid Inside You Alive? This is the Workshop for You” It was about teaching young learners as they started teaching very young learners in Greece this year and they put the participants in the role of young learners. You can see Anna’s slides from her talk here.

Anna is a keen tweeter and one of the many people I met in Istanbul face2face for the first time.  It makes such a difference to actually meet up and I’m sure it won’t be the last time we run into each other at another conference but we’ll definitely keep up online.
