Profile Information

About Me: This is my 29th year of teaching. I have been a primary teacher up until this year, but because of the dwindling number of Secondary teachers, I have decided to try my hand at Years 7 and 8. I am teaching English, Maths and Bible Study. So far it is great. I love to tell stories, and I love to play with computer software, especially Apple software. My latest interest is 'iweb', a fantastic way to show case your students' work, such as podcasts, artwork, vodcasts, poems and stories. I am working on teacher podcasts to encourage the students to learn their tables. My first one is posted. See if your students can 'beat the clock'. I have also be trawling the net (forgive the inadvertent, inverted pun) to find the best interactive websites to link to, so the students can practice at home.

I enjoy international travel and meeting people from other countries. Just last night I had dinner with a master's student from Brazil and we discussed my working in Brussels this summer and my plans for traveling to London via train. What a small world through 2.0!
