At the coalface...

Today dawned a very special day.  Together in Christchurch we visited the Southern Regional Health School and shared a Blended e-learning hands on day with the South Island staff!

What a buzz...

A room full of enthusiastic, engaged, bubbling educators and a team of Bel facilitators...

My highlights of the day are numerous... I will try and share some of the MAGIC of the day with you!


  • For me, a real buzz was the opportunity to work with my team, to learn alongside such an extraordinary bunch of people...
  • Buddying to share a session!  I had the pleasure to work alongside Ray sharing our passion of mobile devices in education, twitter, blogs, wikis, distance collaboration...
  • Sharing a PD day - starting wide - with a smattering of the smorgasbord... or buffet or e-learning...
  • Recording thoughts, wonderings, reflections and questions after watching the amazing Kevin Honeycutt clip....
  • Working in a very 'unconference' type way with flexibility of sessions...
  • Taking time to reflect along the way - and think about the WHY, the purpose...  
  • Thinking and discussion the innovative opportunities for connecting widely spread, transient clientele of the SRHS - envisioning ways of allowing learners to operate in a blended environment...
  • Realising that I am able to live my story.... "If you learn, teach; if you get, give!"

This truly was a great day of learning, teaching, 
getting and giving!
