Who Am I?
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).



Dear Dragonsinger,
I have found your blog and see that you post very useful and interesting information here. I was trying to find way to contact you, so I’m leaving comment here. I think a lot of people might read it, so I decided to make an offer to you. I would like to place a job advertisement at your blog. If this is possible, how much will be your price?
Please, respond if you agree to cooperate.
Sincerely,
Victory Akkert
