BEST
I thoroughly enjoyed my day today at the BEST/RELLCo conference. I enjoyed sharing my learning with others about the many Wiki experiences, learning and inquiry. I was excited that a couple of attendees received a "aha" moment. I also enjoyed Tony Ryan. He had some good ideas and shared experiences off others. I am going to use a few of his ideas. One was the fact the some students constantly ask the same question, so he talked about a Thinking Toy for the students, and how they need to learn to think things through, so I will put that into play. I totally enjoyed SOLO Taxonomy, and this is definitely something that works along side inquiry. Awesome weekend. Then of course my daughters and nephew made a decision the night before to run for fun in the 5km race alongside the Lions Marathon. So I took them all out to dinner..... I had a great weekend for learning.

Hi Jo
ReplyDeleteThank you for the help with the visualiser on the science trolley today. You are such a teacher (or is it a helper to learning). Thanks also for saying that you look into my reflective blog from time to time. I love reflecting - I think it keeps learning so real for me. I know I don't do lots of bells and whistles in my blog but I like the thinking about learning. I am really excited about science at the moment and love it that I have timeto 'play' with science. I think I am being spoilt about the teaching I can do at the moment because I am not being bogged down with all the assessment that the rest of you have to do and I can just enjoy the joy of teaching. I love seeing the children's responses to the leaning opportunities I am sharing with them.
