Welcome Activity 1

Activity 1

Welcome to my professional development journey. Initially set up this blog for my MINDLAB "Applied Practice in Context" APC - CISC 8100 paper - which is the last paper in the Post Grad Cert in Digital Collaborative Learning.

Setting up this blog is part of Week 25 Reflective Practice.

I am really excited to be starting a new teaching position in a small school in Auckland, NZ.
I am the lead teacher for digital learning (a new role for me). I will be released 1 day per week to focus on this area in addition to teaching a Year 7 girls only class for 2 days and a Year 5/6 class for the other 2 days.
In 2015 my students described my teaching style as " she is kinda strict, has high expectations for herself and others, is really funny and very kind".

I attended a session at the MINDLAB in Auckland last night re this assignment and also future learning at Unitec which I am interested in doing and intend to follow up with a view to completing a Masters in Applied Practice - for me this will = DCL.,
