Who+I+am

I am creating this digital portfolio wiki to try and express my personal learning and to provide a background to teaching technology to the 'digital citizen'. I had thought to limit access to invited guests only, but have since decided to go public. I have used first names only where I have uploaded images - other than who I am and will use my discretion on the type of information I submit. However, to fully benefit from this e-portfolio it is also important to share ideas, provide an insight to technology and the methods we can use it and share it.

I am an educator and learner all at the same time, I spend much of my time learning something new - my students are full of ideas and have so many amazing skills that I just love to watch them at work. They get opportunities from me to also gain new experiences and learn how to channel their skills the right way.

I currently teach students from 12 years to 19 years in an International School that has over 61 nationalities and the students are known for their acceptance of so many cultures. We have a saying at our school ' The students are colour-blind' - this lends us to a tolerant and emotionally stable school environment to learn and teach in.

I have been fortunate enough to teach Primary students using the National Curriculum and PYP of late. Both offer opportunities for students to excel and develop skills in the latest technology.
