... since I started this blogging experiment! I still have a lot to learn and a lot to write before I could call myself 'a blogger'! My first post, the title of which was 'I teach! What's your super power?' was written precisely two years ago. To mark the date, one year later, I wrote 'T@PT is one year old', and offered my readers a (virtual) piece of cake. This time, I present you a poster by an educator whose blog I follow: Krissy Venosdale and her inspiring Venspired.com. I hope I continue to deserve some of your attention! T@PT project is only of worth value if you are still there! Thank you! (By the way, here follows a SLIDESHOW that explains 7 ways to say Thank You!)
Yep!... It's been a year since I started blogging!... And you've been there all the time, reading, laughing, and thinking over with me!... By following T@PT, you are giving it life! Thank you so much! I hope it has been of worth value for you! It has surely been for me! Have a piece of cake and let's hope for another year of newsreports about the Anglo-saxon world events, ELT & web 2.0 tools suggestions, British & American traditions reminders, inspirational people and thoughts, cartoons and the never to forget homage to the work done at schools both by teachers and students!... Before starting our celebration, may I suggest you a tour around T@PT's timeline, as well as the Index, so that it is easier for you to look up for posts at this website. I'd also suggest you to take a look at T@PT's newest page: The Students' Corner. As the name itself says, it is a place in which students write about whatever topic they feel like, in order to develop their writing skills. Having said this, let the celebration begin: Happy Birthday, Teaching @PineTree!...

T@PT is a journal, a daily record of occurrences, experiences and observations...
Here, I write about Teachers, Students, Schoolmates, and my School... I also write about the English language, ELT tips, and web 2.0 tools, the world wide web, and social networks... British & American traditions, world events, celebrations, and curiosities; humanitarian causes, as well as environmental issues; books and reading, motivational quotes, and inspirational people; last but not least, HUMOUR! In order to keep you on track, I have inserted an INDEX BAR at the top of the page so that you can easily find the topics that fit your purpose the best, besides the BLOG ARCHIVE on the righ side bar, and the SEARCH THIS BLOG button.
When I began writing I didn't quite know which direction I was heading to... Six months later I realise it's hard not to write on a daily basis (except for the weekend) as it has been very therapeutical to me!... This has been my innermotivation, along with some fantastic students and schoolmates that make my school day a better day, nonetheless some greyish clouds!... It's been a while since I've felt this motivated!...
I'm very proud that students are part of my followers list. I not only write for or about Teachers, but also for and about Students! Actually, they feel they are part of this project, which explains why they follow, read and comment some of my posts!... In addition to, the right side bar has some links that lead them to useful learning tools, such as monolingualdictionaries and a grammar online!
The RIGHT SIDE BAR is constantly updated with quotes, cartoons, visual statements and events of the month. It also has two creations of mine: a word cloud powered by TAGUL, which summarizes what T@PT is all about, and a 'Keep Calm and...' poster, powered by Keep Calm-o-matic, that invites everyone to join this site!...
T@PT is in constant change. You should expect novelties at any time!... Make sure you don't miss them!... The latest one is that you can see what I'm following on TWITTER, and eventually join the conversation! Overall, I hope you continue to follow T@PT and consider your time reading this blog enjoyable!... Your comments are more than welcome and very precious to me, as they make me think over whether this blog is a project with a future, or not!... THANK YOU!
Celebrou-se, no passado dia 24 de Março, o Dia do Estudante.
Este é um dia profundamente ligado à luta da Juventude pela Democracia em Portugal.

Este ano, o Dia do Estudante coincidiu com o início da pausa lectiva relativa ao final do segundo período. Terá sido o momento mais desejado pelos discentes para comemorar este dia (?) ...
Um pouco de História:
No dia 25 de Novembro de 1961, realizou-se uma manifestação contra a guerra colonial, onde participaram milhares de estudantes. O governo fascista confrontava-se, nesta altura, com várias acções de luta por parte de vários sectores da população, entre os quais os estudantes. A sua resposta era o aumento da repressão. Nesta manifestação vários estudantes foram presos. Contrariando o governo fascista, em 1962, é realizado em Coimbra o primeiro Encontro de Associações de Estudantes, no qual se aprova que 24 de Março será um dia de luta e comemoração para os Estudantes. Também nesse ano, em Lisboa, os estudantes concentraram-se dentro da cantina da Cidade Universitária, como forma de protesto contra a repressão e exigindo a libertação dos estudantes presos. O governo fascista responde com o envio da polícia. São vários os estudantes espancados e presos. Mas a Luta não pára! Em resposta a isto declara-se luto académico e greve às aulas. É neste contexto, que em 1987 a Assembleia da República Portuguesa fixa o Dia 24 de Março como o Dia do Estudante.
