So a New Year and a new chance to try again. I WILL be a better blogger...Before I move forward though, I'd like to take this opportunity to look back at what I achieved in 2010. My highlights were:
- Starting my new post as the e-Learning teacher at a City Learning Centre
- Giving Twitter a second chance and really discovering it's powers to give me such a fantastic PLN
- Attending the Apple Teacher Institute, meeting some fantastic people and learning more than I could have hoped for
- Developing my own skills in using Apple technology in education
- Filtering these skills out to learners of all ages
- Taking part in my first #ukedchat; headspinning but brilliant
- Falling in love with, and developing lessons to improve literacy levels using Storybird
- Instigating and developing a pilot project of WriteOnline with cohorts of Year 6 children (when no funding was available)
- Adopting the CLC iPad
2010 moved me forward professionally in so many ways. When I look back at this time last year, as I was just beginning this job, I wasn't expecting to be forced to move on again so soon, but with the change of government came redundancies, and in April I will be leaving the CLC and starting a new position (more on that later, see how I'm planning to carry on with the blog!).
Looking ahead to what 2011 has in store:
- Attending the Learning Without Frontiers conference, and hopefully my first TeachMeet while I'm there
- Seeing the outcomes of my WriteOnline pilot project
- Seeing a fantastic team of dedicated people at the CLC being forced to disperse
- Beginning my new role
- And who knows what else...
So there we go, what will 2011 hold in store for you?
