This one is a personal challenge – I’ve been thinking about the 365 photo challenge and a tweet today reminded me about it. So here we go:

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).
Happy new year!
I love the hydrangeas.
I did a 366 day challenge in 2008 but only got as far as September when I got sick. I’m thinking about a new challenge for 2010!
You’re up and running Jo! Hopefully we’ll all keep each other inspired and motivated until the end! Only 364 to go!!
I figure that taking photos won’t be a problem – I always have my phone with me – it’s making sure I get them uploaded – think I’ll set a specific time to do it so that I don’t forget!
