I'm Joop Hogerwerf. Originally I'm teacher of English, but these days I'm mostly concerned with Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for Albeda College.

I was born in Dirksland (Goeree Overflakkee) in 1962. In 1963 the family (my father, mother and tiny little me) moved to Rotterdam and I lived in Lombardijen till I was about 28 years old. I followed the HAVO and Teachers Training College at which I studied English and Health Education.

In 1985 I got my first job as a teacher of Health Education at a school for health, welfare, food and social services in Rotterdam. It was a part time job, but it kept me busy enough. In 1989 I got a full time job teaching English at a technical college in the North of Rotterdam. There I became chairman of the personnel committee, coordinator for the non technical subjects and ICT-coordinator.

I've been fascinated by the possibilities that computers can have for education for a long time. It grew to be one of my hobbies. Interactive CD-ROMs, multimedia, internet and e-learning can make studying so much more fun and so much more effective.

So I was really glad that I was offered the job as  e-learning project counsellor for GSK (Specialised Cooks). I started in February 2001 and have really enjoyed doing it.  As GSK didn't have a teacher of English at that time, I volunteered to teach those lessons. As a project counsellor I:
- write a lot of reports, minutes, articles and booklets;
- organise and take part in many meetings and courses;
- try to keep up with the technical developments of e-learning software (e.g. N@tschool and Blackboard)

Last year I also started to work for the ITbrug. Follow the link for more info.

I work for GSK on Thursdays. The rest of the week I work for the ITbrug of the ICT academy of Albeda College. There I have even more meetings, more reports and more distance leaning and e-learning. I'm also the webmaster of the website of the ITbrug.

Though I work quite a few hours a week, I also try to spend a lot of time with the family. Yes, I'm married with two children (and to my wife!). Luuk - my oldest son - is five years old now and Tom is two and a half. Both of them are real busy bodies and great fun to play with.

My hobbies are building websites, playing the clarinet (also in a wind band), jogging and playing tennis (in summer) and squash (in winter). Due to lack of time I spend far too few hours on my hobbies! I haven't played squash for ages, but intend to pick it up again really soon.
