wow!

March26

a tough day today – back in class after 5 days off – my autistic boy very difficult – tantrums all day … so a nice surprise to get some extra computing power put into my classroom – i forgot to take pix but will do tomorrow …

basically i’m trialling a ‘thin client’ system called softxpand and have one computer and 4 workstations set up (lovely, shiny new flat screens and all!)

our technician has set it up for me to trial and i will be keeping a log of PMIs and activity – both for the vendor and for our board (cos if it’s good i’m gonna want to keep it and will need to show how i’ve been using it)

my kids all wrote letters to the boss today asking for us to be the ones to get the computers – we weren’t expecting it to happen so fast!

I am a:

  • teacher
  • mother
  • musician
  • sci-fi fanatic
  • computer geek
  • geocacher
  • blogger
  • wannabe photog
  • …

I have a secret passion – well – maybe not so secret – teaching is not about feeding information into kids brains – it’s about creating a place where kids are inspired, enthused, excited about discovery and learning – so my goal as a teacher is to leave my kids wanting more and having the skills to find out more.

This year I’ve moved up a year level and am enjoying the more sophisticated conversations and explorations that we are having in the classroom. It’s exciting to see kids motivated because our classroom is using 21st Century tools for their everyday teaching and learning.

This blog is really for my reflective practise – about things that have worked (or not worked) in my classroom and to share these with others in my PLN.

I should also mention that I’m a Kiwi living in the North Island of New Zealand (just north of Wellington).
