After checking with B I have put my name forward to do a presentation at Waikato University about how technology is being used in the classroom and how it helps towards student achievement AND to do a presentation at Learning@Schools for 2011.
Have I done the right thing. I want to share mine and my childrens learning. I am trying to convince myself that it is a good thing and that it is good for the school as well. So really do need to get busy and prepare something that will inspire, educate and connect others to the world of digital learning with the classroom.
This has been a specially tough term I did not realise how difficult it was to let go of your class for student teacher to take full control, So thank you to all out there that allowed me that when I was training. I asked M in a nice way to hurry and finish the mahi that she has cos I want my class back.
I am feeling a little exposed with the thought of our ICT PD contract ending, I know its time to move on, but do hope that our learning doesnt stop, and that teachers are motivated enough to keep their learning alive, real, achievable, c onnected globally, and that we all as well as the children grow from strength to strength.
Did running records with my kids over the pas few days and it has been great, they have been able to secure themselves at age or above, is that a reflection of the theirs or ours mahi in the class, both, YES.
Beginning also to change and make preparations for the new year 2011. It is fast approaching, and I need to stay ahead of my kids to keep their learning ignited, to move beyond.
