Welcome to my blog - A learning journey.
This blog is designed to share my personal reflections and learning journey, as part of the Bastow course 'Leading schools in the Digital Age'. I honestly hope that I find this process useful and perhaps even reignite the excitement I once had for using online collaborative tools. That excitement peaked around 10 years ago. I have never really have had much desire to share with the broad 'online global community'. Nor have I ever had a strong reason to. Also, the thought of exposing myself so publicly for possibly any unk9wn entity to see and contort in some way terrifies me (which is why I think I never really have shared on twitter and just occasionally watch). Those I did wish to share with were available by other means and by 2007 all my close friends were on FB so any news was shared that way.
I have made a range of blogs before using WordPress, global2 blogs BlogSpot etc. Spending hours setting up templates and choosing colours and gadgets. I have to admit though, I have never been very good at maintaining them. After a couple of posts my big idea for communicating whatever exciting knowledge or idea I thought needed to be shared no longer seems a priority and it falls by the wayside. Perhaps if I were into journaling I would feel differently but this has never been my thing.
I am hoping that by re-engaging in this online reflective process I will gain valuable insights and synthesise new learning in a meaningful way.
