Teacher Appraisal using Blogger - Teacher Only Day

Woo hoo!!!! My brains have expanded and shriveled and then exploded!

This has been such an exciting day filled with learning.  I've enjoyed the challenge of using Blogger.  Setting up and putting everything into place in order to have a 'living space' to share my teaching and learning as a Professional Teacher in New Zealand!

So I am excited about the possibilities that I now have to take what I have learnt to-day and blog about it everyday/week.

So often we are busy teaching and preparing for teaching that we don't have time to use pen and paper to write what we have done and who really wants to or can be bothered.  We discuss within our staff meetings and syndicate meetings but often it is not formally recorded.  Blogger provides a format for recording but more importantly on-the-spot self reflection of professional practice.

Aue!  Kei te harikoa ahau!  The tutu inside me just wants to TUTU!!!!!
