17 January 2013 and here I am on first flight for the year…
bound for Wellington. Time to reflect on
what has been in my life since my last post…
2012 was an incredible year.
I was back in the class travelling an amazing journey with my learners…
We designed our own learning spaces, we brought in our own devices, we learnt
face to face, and online. We had fun
learning together throughout the year.
We operated in an environment of respect and protect, (thanks Andrew
Churches) respecting and protecting ourselves, others and intellectual
property. Within these boundaries it
wasn’t really necessary for rules.
My e-fellowship took me on an amazing journey, collaborating
with four amazing educators, imagining possibilities and innovating. Travel to our Master Classes, conferences and
educamps were real highlights in my year.
My NAPP journey gave me a real leadership boost and opened
the world of principalship up as I had not seen before. Early in the journey I realised that
principalship was not something I would actively pursue at the moment.
Late in the year I began imagining possibilities and my
quest for a new challenge began. This
dream became a reality when I won a role as Blended e-learning facilitator with
CORE education. I am still pinching
myself to make sure it is real… I liken it to holding the pot of gold at the
end of the rainbow! My role officially
commences on 28 January 2013 and I am counting down the days. I am in awe of the opportunity to
collaborate, share, learn and grow into and through this new chapter in my
learning journey.
So here I am, on a flight at 6.50am bound for
Wellington. In store is a weekend
adventure with Liz. I am really excited
to returning to Wellington, a city I have spent so much time in during my
Master’s study. I have so many fun
memories and so many favourite haunts to revisit. There will be sightseeing and shopping,
laughter and fun…
Then Monday I reconnect with the marvellous e-fellows. We have five days together in an apartment on
the terrace with an amazing ICOT experience in store. I am very excited about this International
Conference of Thinking. Life is a great
big marvellous learning adventure…
You at proof of the power of positive thinking, dreaming big and finding Magic everywhere. Enjoy the week!
