I made it to the end! Tomorrow is our final day of school for 2016, so we are getting ready to celebrate the success of the Juniors at prizegiving. As we jumped into our 2017 timetable early, I found little time to really think about and reflect on my first year as a teacher. So, when I was told one of our tasks was to create a short documentary of our first year as part of the MDTA, I was happy as this encouraged me to think about my strengths and weaknesses moving into second year.
I was also blessed to be interviewed by NZPEteacher, as his final podcast for 2016. The interview explored my experiences, highlights and challenges throughout my first year in a digital learning environment. Feel free to have a listen to the podcast, or watch my short documentary below!
I love your reflection Georgia! It's very personal and shows you have reflected a lot about your journey this year. So excited for you to start your own twitter chat :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback Ashley, hopefully it doesn't seem forced! I enjoyed the reflection process to wind down for the year and prep for next year. I have already started it, we are two chats down! Join us next year every second Tuesday during term time #NZBTchat :)
DeleteWhat a perfect way to sum up your first year as a BT! Your doco was really interesting and your personality and beliefs really come through :) I am looking forward to hearing how your blogging goes next year. Next year I also have a lot of students who haven't blogged before so it will be cool to share our experiences!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chelsea, glad to hear my personality came through! Oh really? Awesome, look forward to collaborating and discussing our challenges and highlights :)
DeleteMy favourite part of the video was seeing how happy the girls were after one of them finished her contribution to the debate and they high fived! Well done Georgia!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't even noticed that! Love the supportive classroom environment! Thanks for watching.
