Hello COETAILers (and anybody else who happens to drop by!)
Have started this course as it was recommended by a friend as a great way to get some new practical skills that will make a difference in my classroom and school. This is what I am really hoping to gain as I am not the most bookish person and studying education ‘theory’ and writing long assignments is something I struggle with unless I can see an impact from this in the classroom. I also am excited to be introduced to different programmes, blogs, ideas etc. that will help my students and me become more effective learners.
So far I have started the observation course and have been introduced to Twitter!! Have you heard of this mad place? I never really saw the point of it but signed up in the last week and am overwhelmed by the amount of articles, links, and information people are sharing! Have already got some great ideas from it and now just need to work on finding the balance of using it effectively and not adding to my ever grown list of places to procrastinate on the internet!!
Off to set up my RSS reader now, don’t know what an RSS reader is so will be interesting!
Happy COETAIling everybody!
Paul
