Reflecting on a team day…
Recently we gathered together in Auckland. This is a new team for me in my role as
moderator in literacy online.
After a 5am start, we finally made it to Auckland by 11am,
due to the turbulent weather and a few delays.
Aligning with my mantra that the world is full of beautiful
people I am waiting to meet I had the pleasure and privilege of meeting and
spending time with an amazing team. The
power of sharing our own stories to start the day links us and connects us and
makes the deeper thinking, reflecting, collaborating possible. As a team we are smattered from Whangarei in
the North to Mosgiel in the south so most of our contact will be online. To meet face to face and really begin to
weave our stories and journeys together is crucial to the development of our
online journey. Having the personal connection
enables and enriches our online facilitation.
We are a team working across English online, Literacy
Online, Esol online and ICTs in English.
Our role is to facilitate the online community behind the listserv. We are about resource and discourse. We source and promote quality resources to
support literacy programmes and encourage discussion around the use of these
resources. Not only are we surfacing new resources we are also focusing on
innovative practice, ideas and integration of technology to enrich our literacy
programmes and practice. What is working
in one class for one group of learners may be transferrable. Community members sharing their practice not
only supports others, but allows for networking and collaboration to meet the
needs of all our learners.
I am very excited about the potential we have now to share
across our areas as the MAGIC of face to face is grown in the online world.
