What do people think about their participation in the Forum?

To begin with, I'd like to let you know how important it is for us, teachers who live so far away from Buenos Aires, to have the chance to take part in a forum and in an event in which there is no need to spend a $ 1,000 in tickets and accomodation (this one was much cheaper :-)))) . I think it has been a wonderful experience and so many things were shared. It would be wonderful if you could give us the chance  to take part in a new forum. Thanks to Patricia for being such a terrific moderator and for suggesting so many interesting tools.
Warm regards to everyone,
Nanci (I Forum)

Dear People,
I really enjoyed your forum. It was great to share so many ideas with colleagues. I wish I could have more time to be able to participate in more topics. May be if it is held once again, I will be able to make myself more time.
Congrats! And thanks for this cyber space where one could share and profit from others' ideas and comments.
Regards,
Ana Maria (I Forum)

Equipo de English and Fun, quiero contarles que fue la primera vez que participé de un foro sobre las canciones en la clase de inglés, y me pareció fantástico. Tanto el moderador como los docentes que participaron fueron precisos tanto en las preguntas como en las respuestas y ayudas a otros compañeros.
Espero poder participar de otro foro, si es que realizan otro en cualquier momento.
Gracias y saludos a todos.

Dear team of "ENGLISH & FUN" and ALFREDO BILOPOLSKY, thank you so much for this opportunity you offered us to participate in the FORUM . A fantastic experience, indeed!!!! Hope it is soon repeated!!!
Warm regards,
Fabiola (II Forum)

The International forum was great! I had the possibility of exchanging experience, knowledge, even activities or fantastic ideas to work with my students. Thanks to all of you!
María Silvina (III Forum)

Ante todo gracias por esta brillante idea de compartir un foro on-line con colegas! Fue muy fructífero para mí esta experiencia y tomé nota de los sitios web que recomendaron los participantes del foro y por supuesto lo que sugirió el moderador, Carlos Galizzi. Es de gran utilidad también el handout que se envía para cada foro, orienta y enriquece la base de datos de c/u de nosotros/as. Para mí es súper útil y práctico,cómodo hacer esto a distancia, on-line ya que tengo un bebé que obviamente es muy demandante y de otra forma no podría hacerlo! Una vez más gracias por esta gran idea-proyecto!

I enjoyed the forum a lot; I consider it is a practical way of learning and getting in touch with other teachers.
María Inés (IV Forum)

Mi opinión sobre el foro es que me resultó útil, y me gustaría que me sigan contactando para poder participar en otros. No sólo las sugerencias de Fernando me sirvieron bastante sino también la posibilidad de escuchar a otros colegas con sus ideas.
Laura (IV Forum)

Gracias por esta instancia que permite ponernos en contacto. A veces los profes del interior no tenemos tanto acceso como Uds. a cursos, seminarios y demás.
Esto es una vía genial de compartir y aprender.
Pablo (V Forum)

It was really an enriching experience to participate in this forum thanks to all of you for sharing your experiences, ideas, material.
Alicia (V Forum)

This has been the first time I participate in a forum via Internet, and though I did not have enough time to check the other teachers´ doubts due to personal problems, I really enjoyed it!!!
It was fantastic to know diverse experiences and viewpoints!!
I think that Alfredo made a superb contribution and was a great moderator!
I hope you go on organizing this kind of activities so as to share our ideas and learn things related to our area: L2 teaching.
Thanks a lot.
Silvana (VI Forum)

Estimados, Quería comentarles que la participación en este Foro me fue de muchísima ayuda y resultó ser realmente más interesante de lo que supuse.
Creo que es una excelente forma de aprender y mantenerme actualizada, ya que por mis compromisos actuales me resulta casi imposible concurrir a todo tipo de charlas y seminarios.
Muchas gracias a todos ustedes y de más está decir que me interesaría participar en otros foros. Saluda atentamente,
Cecilia (VI Forum)

I’m very thankful for having participated in this Forum! Not only were the topics very appealing and interesting, but also the outcome!!! I’ve been participating in many of these Forums already and I can really say I keep on learning!!! This idea of sharing is really fantastic! Meeting people from different places and with different experiences can’t be more enriching!!! Thank you, Maria Teresa for the valuable comments and support and a BIG THANKS, English and Fun Team for this new opportunity!!!
As for feedback, things are better and better each time! Timetable, fee, topics, choice of moderators, length of the Forum...
Things can't be better, I guess! A detail I would like to point out is the efficiency and commitment of English & Fun!!! We participants, feel things are taken into consideration, there is professionalisam behind and above all, people WHO CARE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! YOU MADE ME FEEL I'M REALLY INVESTING MY TIME ON STH WORTHY NOT ONLY FOR MY PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE BUT ALSO MY PERSONAL LIFE! HOPE ONE DAY WE CAN MEET TO THANK YOU PERSONALLY! VERY WARM REGARDS!
Fabiola (VII Forum)

EXCELENTE!! Aprendí muchísimas cosas que nunca se me hubiesen ocurrido y menos ponerlas en práctica ya que a veces por temor uno deja de lado ideas "brillantes".
Ojalá podamos seguir haciendo FOROS tan "JUGOSOS" como los que ustedes organizan.
Desde ya, estaré presente en todos!! Saludos cordiales
