To be honest I didn't think setting up a blog would be this easy. Thank you blogger.com!
So why did I decide to start blogging?
Well the answer is quite simple. I want to be a great teacher and I thought a blog could help me do that. I think a blog can be helpful in a number of ways;
1. It can help you to reflect, clarify and consolidate your thoughts and ideas.
2. It can help you reflect on your daily practice (or in my case, my journey to becoming a teacher).
3. Information and Communication Technologies (I.C.T.) in the classroom is the way of the future. Technology will play an every important role in the lives of our students and to ignore this fact is to do them a disservice. Also it can help you make learning more interactive, interesting and fun.
4. It will help me connect with "my tribe" of progressive radical teachers(I'm referncing Ken Robinson's "The Element" here). It's a nice feeling knowing that out there, there are fellow teachers attempting to formulate and answer the same questions I am.
5. It can help me organise my thoughts and ideas on various issues through tagging, you can't do that with a journal.
