Hello! My name is João Luís, but you can call me John (that is how people called me when I lived in the United States). I am an educator and researcher in this field of knowledge. At this moment of my life I am studying the use of technologies and movies in schools. I work as a teacher and researcher for a brazilian university and as an editor for the website Planeta Educação (www.planetaeducacao.com.br). I have written many articles that are available on internet, but most of them are in my native language (portuguese). With this contribution called Cinema Lessons I have the intention of sharing a part of my studies with english language speakers. Best wishes for all. Welcome to the fantasy island...
