The Beginning...

Wow. Writing blogs is hard! I am known to talk too much, so it's going to be difficult to keep my posts to 150 words!

A little about me and the purpose of this blog:
I'm a beginning teacher, I have clocked up a whole semester of teaching experience!

I teach Chinese and English at a fairly large state high school in Brisbane, Queensland.

I am very interested in using ICT's in my teaching to challenge both the students and myself to do new things in new ways.

I am currently participating in the awesome '23 Things' Professional Development course (hence the creation of this blog). I love the idea of this PD course as it gives teachers the tools and allows us to find the time to learn and practise new skills. If I've learnt anything over the last semester, it's that it is impossible to find a convenient time for anything! We're all too busy!

  3. Hi Caitlin
    My name is Carol Beins from Perth. I teach Indonesian, beginning Mandarin and Religious Education in a high school.
    I believe that you are my blog-buddy! I am so behind with my timeline as it has been very busy at school and thank goodness for the school holidays. Hope now to find time to catchup with everyone else.
