I find myself sharing my class wiki's with friends and how the children are learning, and they always comment on my enthusiasm, and how it must be fun to be in my classroom. I really do wonder if how we are learning is making a difference. I wonder if I should be doing more learning with e learning in the Maori medium. I wonder sometimes if colleagues really do get the picture. We are bogged down with so much to "have to" teach the children, I wonder how our kids will survive.

My feel my recent presentations, always seem to be in a rush.. I wonder if anyone real gets it, or whether they are just trying to be nice. I wonder if what "we" I" are doing in the class is really working, then I look at the progress in the wiki and realise they are enjoying what they are doing. My kids have told me that they spend more time on the wiki than any other site on the computer.

I have to keep reminding myself that you can please everybody all the time.

Networking

Enjoyed my trip down to Gisborne to attend a E Learning Conference. Company was great. I do believe we have been well taught and learned from Lorraine W in our ICTPD Cluster and I think very spoilt. Feeling very nervous about the rest of the year, the pressure to perform perhaps. Need to remember to take time and smell the roses
