When your eyes take in something that pleases you, your brains’ reward system is activated, lifting your whole mood. So let me express my style in print
. A couple of weeks ago I was talking to @mtranslator by DM and I was curious about what were her favourite blogs she is an expert in edublogs to me.
RT @Mtranslator: My latest post about some of the blogs I always follow: http://bit.ly/aJ6oCb #esl #edtech Yessssss. (In @technolanguages)
Later she delivered a post about the subject. Why not? I was so happy that I did RT instantaneously and I saw it by chance because she didn’t tell me anything. Yesssss I wrote. Because I wanted to learn from her experience. Foreigners are doing that. I’ve seen some fabulous Portuguese blogs and I decided to do the same. Asked for help and some fantastic followers answered me sending their links. So professional they were worried about subjectivity. Well yes I must give a general view but I must tell you my opinion too. OUR experience here on social networks is golden and we can learn a lot from each other. Even if the goal is to get to a particular place , during the journey maybe we realize that meeting people and learning from them, from their experience, is very important. It is worth what it is worth but it came from my wish of doing an informal survey and discover more about the subject. I must add that some other followers were tweeting their blogs when I asked for help and I did RT. See in @technolanguages . Some of them are very interesting and need collaboration. I read several and like doing so even though I’m more interested in edublogs.
So this is my first OPEN POST. I begin and invite you to post your comments here if you wish. Feel free and at ease to do so. Tell me what are your favourite Portuguese blogs, please. I will complete it too as soon as I discover more.
For now I will suggest the following based on what my followers sent me and what I like. Simple and clear as I tweeted.

MY FAVOURITE BLOG:
via @technolanguages https://contocontigo.wordpress.com/ Edublog. (Others could have been chosen but I often use the texts of this one to work with my students. The stories are small, beautiful and very important values are shared. I used these texts for the activity “STOP, let’s read”. Students and other teachers loved them). The author is Maria do Rosário Pontes.

Very interesting post, Leonor! It’s thoughtful of you to find out blogs in Portuguese. I understand your point when you explain why you write in English. My native language is Spanish but I also write in English because it’s the language I teach and because it’s the language that allows us to reach a wider number of readers. As a translator from English to Spanish, I read posts in Spanish, especially about the Spanish language.
Thanks for quoting my post!

Marisa
