I’m curious who managed to make it over here from the Papyrus News email list (or from anywhere else!). Take a moment to introduce yourself in the comments section, mentioning at least where you are, how long you have subscribed to Papyrus News, and what you’re interested in.

Papyrus News 
Hi Mark and others. I’m in Portugal, subscribed to Papyrus News for lots of years (I can’t remember how many). I’m interested in your (and other people’s) work on literacies. My own passion and doc. research is communicating and collaborating in international online communities and I keep my own blog (http://btrayner.blogspot.com/) which is more or less about living two languages – and all that that represents to me.
Hello Mark and all,
I teach at the Franco-Brazilian secondary school in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have migrated to the blog from Papyrus News, to which I had been subscribed for about 4 to 5 years. I have my own blog and site. I have been actively involved in many international projects online and just love working this way and connecting people across the world. I also belong to the WiA (webheads in action), an international community of practice (CALL).
Hi Mark,
I’m glad you’re back in the saddle, so to speak. We have all been thinking of you.
Like Bee, a fellow Webhead, I migrated to the Blog from Papyrus News, which I have been perusing for several years now and always ask the graduate students in my online Computer-Assisted Language Learning course to subscribe to. I teach ESL and TESL at Saint Michael’s College in Vermont, where I usually tax our resources and system by my heavy use of technology in teaching and learning. I have co-founded EV Online and coordinated its sessions for 4 years. Online teaching, professional development, and collaboration with other professionals are the things that keep me going!
yes, welcome back Mark! Your writing and research has been such a source of inspiration in the past, and it’s great to have Papyrus back under your wing.
Here in an ‘adult community education provider’ (school) in Melbourne (Oz), we ‘initiate’ learners into the ‘culture and discourses’ of language, literacy, technology and more.
That is, we teach people readin’ + writin’, & how to learn 😉 :michael
Hi Mark,
I made the jump, having been a mailing list subscriber for many years.
I moved from the email list to the blog comfortably as I was able to add your site to my bloglines (bloglines.com) RSS feeds. If I didn’t use a tool like bloglines I think I would have found it a problem as there is so much information to track on the Internet.
Keep up the good work,
(from UK)
Welcome everybody! Are there more out there?
According to my bloglines statistics, there are 7 of us subscribing to the blog via bloglines.
Roger, that! Tuning in!
I think there are more visitors out there, but most just read.
I’ve tried to get an email feed so I know when papyrus is updated – but so far no success.
I’m a teacher in Hong Kong. Read my blog for more.
Hi! I have subscribed to Papyrus News for a long time and have always been fascinated by what I have found there. I like the blog idea even more and am happy to make this transition. I used to send things from Papyrus News on to my husband, but now he can come look for himself!
At the current time I teach ESL at a small college in Louisiana. My college isn’t very technology focused or friendly, but I try!
Hello, everybody!
I teach English at the University of Informatics Sciences, Havana, Cuba. I´ve been subscribed to Papyrus News for a long time and have always found interesting materials about ICT and teaching foreign languages.
Hello,
I teach English as a Second Language at Santiago Canyon College in Orange, California.
I am also working on my dissertation at Walden University on instructional technology applications in other countries.
I hope that the interactive format of Papyrus will bring a lot of interesting exchanges.
Glad to be a part of this group.

Hi Mark,
Good to have you back. Have been subscribing to Papyrus since my colleague Andreas Lund recommended it a couple of years ago. I train future teachers of English at Oslo University College Faculty of Education. Interests are creating online courses for the training of EFL/ESL teachers here in Norway. Particularly interested in creating dialogue and building online learning communities. Have, by the way, found your dialogue journals idea very useful in this context for creating refelction on learning.
Have only just discovered blogging, but see all sorts of interesting ways of using it in what I doing
Greetings from Norway
Hi Mark and everybody,
I like the blog format! I’ve been a subscriber to Papyrus news for a few years.
I’m at the University of Calgary, as a professor of Spanish, CALL and SLA. My interests are mostly in computer-mediated communication and intercultural learning.
Glad to see you are back.

Hi All
I work in the School of Education at the University of Nottingham, with an attachment to the Learning Sciences Research Institute. I’m involved in research and evaluation of teachers’ use of new technologies.
I’ve enjoyed Papyrus News for years, particularly because of its eclectic approach (I’m not involved in teaching English or any other language).
Welcome back, Mark – a lot of people have been thinking about you. Steve did a great job in the meantime.
I’ve not got into blogging, so the PNblog is my introduction.
Greetings from England

Well Mark I have been reading Papyrus News for quite a few years and found it interesting and informative. . I have been teaching in Tokyo for fifteen years and before that in Canada. I also have been thinking of you and wish you all the luck you need, which is usually just enough ;>}. Clark
Steve McCarty in Osaka and glad to see this blog going well. Since I’ve been unable to update the Bilingualism and Japanology Intersection at my previous college, the publications linked from there just run through 2003: http://www.kagawa-jc.ac.jp/~steve_mc/epublist.html
But since then I’m adding new items via the WAOE blog “Intercultural Literacy”: http://waoe.blogspot.com
Most recently I assisted an EFL reference book published in Malaysia and discussed Japan’s resistance to educational reform. Check it out if you like. Thanks – Steve McCarty
Hi Mark,
I teach English as a Second Language in Australia. I’ve been a subscriber to Papyrus for a long time. I like this new form of communication. Good idea. GREAT to have you back with us.
Best Regards,
Sophie
Hello Mark, Hello all
I’ve made it over to the blog very happily – it’s good to have the added interactivity of a blog for PN, which I think will add a distinctive new flavour. And good to have you back again Mark.
I work at the School of Education, University of Leeds, UK. I’m mainly doing research into classroom-based ESOL but retain a strong interest in online language learning, particularly of the Webheads variety…
All best wishes
James
Hi Mark & all,
good luck with a new genre in an exciting age for all interested in communication. I have followed PN for quite a number of years. These days my research focus is on network support for collective cognition, and this new and more interactive outlet is just one of many examples. And by the way, my current workplace has a blog integrated in its web environment, check http://www.intermedia.uio.no
I was introduced to netwok-based language teaching by MW’s papers when I first started working at university level in 1997. I ended up doing my PhD in the area. So I am very happy to see Mark back on-line. I hope the foreign language teaching element will continue to be dealt with in this list.

It is written that it is the program which helps make money at home.
As you think it works really?
