real relationships with all students, sharing the Alan November story;

key thing would they have learned?
I would have loved to have taken Pauline to
#edchatnz! She would have connected with
so many educators and loved it!
7. Is there a person you didn’t get to meet/chat with (F2F/online) that you wished you had? Why
Agh, there are so many people I wished I’d met face to face!

your reflection on the conference - #Edchatnz

9. What is one thing you plan to do to continue the Education Revolution you learnt about at #EdchatNZ?
Connect, share, learn, challenge, reflect and
do it visibly! I am blogging more,
sharing more, connecting more….
10. Will you take a risk and hand your students a blank canvas?
As a team member, I will share this journey
and encourage us to use a blank canvas when facilitating in schools.
