Just another example of how handy Twitter is …

October3

I’m a tweeter – I love checking out to see what my PLN is up to. Today I noticed a comment from one person (@jshe) to another (@teachernz) referring to yet another person (@digitallearnin) and when I checked out the last person’s twitter feed I noticed a comment to yet another person (@Kelliemcrobert) who had posted a tweet some six hours previously.

I followed the link in that tweet and ended up at http://nps-ict-pd.wikispaces.com and followed the Web2.0 link. From there I scrolled down the page and saw this:

I clicked on the Trading Cards link and arrived at a blog link at Big Huge Labs.

And straight-away had an idea for my topic next term when we are going to be looking at a “Celebration of Inventors”. There’s no way I’d have come up with THAT idea all by myself.

To quote an old deodorant advertisement … “I can’t live with out my Twitter PLN!”

    Hi, I have to share my sources…I’m part of an online course with Jodie Bowne at University of Canterbury. I’m also the in-school cluster lead teacher and recently started this PD wiki after a session with Rachel Boyd (Neslon Central School) so thought I’d share these great links with my colleagues. Pleased others are using them too.

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).
