About me

I was a high school English teacher for ten years before retraining in primary after my three daughters were born.  I've been lead teacher of maths, and run a digital unit. Now I'm DP at an intermediate where I'm in charge of curriculum and assessment, lead teacher for literacy and the person who fixes the computers. I want to get teachers passionate about e_learning but know that things like national standards and hardware problems and limits cause a lot of road blocks for people.

I have been part of three ict pd clusters, the last one as a "internal" facilitator or maybe administrator and milestone writer and collator. For Term 3 and 4 2013 I was seconded to be a BeL facilitator for Te Toi Tupu for .4 of my week. 

I am a past chairperson of the AP/DP Network, co-starter for #connectedrotorua and cohost of #educamprotovegas and Eduignite Rotorua.  We also held the inaugural Educamp Minecraft.

  • The First Days of the School Year: It’s About the Learners Not the Content

I […]

My session description (originally written by me and tweaked by ChatGPT) was: Incorporating AI tools into the gifted education classroom […]

  • Toy Making and Hacking Camp

    Each summer, I teach a toy making and hacking camp for 3rd through 6th graders. It is three hours per day for five days. I enjoy offering “the public” similar activities as I do with my gifted students during the school year. I know there are rewards for the kids while engaging in hands-on/minds-on learning. […]

  • Hope is Not a Strategy

    In this month’s blog revisit, I am looking back at a post I wrote originally in 2017 on using social media and mobile devices in the classroom. To be transparent, I am struggling with what I wrote in that original post today, not because I disagree with anything I said then, but because I wonder […]

  • Especially When It’s Hard to Do

    When I was 29 years old, I completed my first marathon. Then I turned 30 and completed my second marathon. I committed to running a marathon in every decade of my life, and now 18 years later, at 48 years old, here I am. I might have waited a bit too long, but if I […]

  • Gratitude For What You Have Now Might Lead to More Later

    “It’s amazing how, when you condition yourself to have a grateful spirit, you will find yourself expressing gratitude and multiplying that feeling in your life.” Andy Andrews, The Seven Decisions     Last year, when we moved to Florida, I was dreading a 4-5 day drive that I was going to have to make from […]
