Welcome to my blog

Written by

Welcome to my blog. This is a whole new adventure for me and I am excited about where it may lead. I hope you will be inclined to pop in from time to time to share my journey and offer some encouragement along the way.

Since education is my life a good deal of what I write will focus on my thoughts and ideas about education and learning. Check out my poem Education is on the “Education is” tab to see how different I believe education and schooling to be. I would love to hear the ways in which you may or may not agree with me. I am in for a bit of education myself as I explore this new world (to me) of blogging and I know there are many wonderful teachers out there ready to teach me what I need to know.

“When the student is ready the teacher appears.”

I am ready.

Let the adventure begin!

G’day Norah,
Saw your tweet about your first post, so thought I would come for a visit. I run a student blogging challenge twice a year and so far 35 students, 75 classes from 10 countries have registered. First challenge is posted 8th September.

I remember in 2008 when I wrote my first post and wondered why nobody came to leave comments. I was then taken under the wing of Sue Waters from Edublogs and five years later, I am still blogging.

Welcome to this world and despite the steep learning curve at the beginning, it is worth the effort!

  Hi Sue, Thank you for your encouragement. It is certainly a very exciting, and daunting, adventure but I’m sure I’ll muddle through. I have been reading your blog about the challenge for students. It is very interesting. I had considered replying to your request for mentors, but I don’t think I’m quite up to that yet – the students would be more advanced than I at this stage! Maybe in a year or two I’ll give it a go.
