Almost four years ago I had an idea. I’d participated in a couple of Twitter chats and found them to be great inspiration and full of resources. But none of them seemed to take place during the hours I wanted to engage. The chats that I had found were all based in the US whichContinue reading “Reflecting on my years with #AfricaEd”

Blogging Buddies
So I’ve added another point to my to do list and I’m excited about it. I’ve decided to join the ISTE Ed Tech Coaches Blogging Buddies. I’m hoping this will add the incentive back to posting regular blogs. I got off to a great start this year, but definitely fizzled out second semester. So here’s theContinue reading “Blogging Buddies”
A New Challenge
My two worlds have collided to bring me my most recent opportunity. The first is the world of connected educators. The second, my mom. Being connected has provided me with a plethora of opportunities, resources and friends. My Twitter world has helped me start an EdCamp and two international chats, be invited to facilitate at a conference, presentContinue reading “A New Challenge”
Sharing is Caring and Full of Opportunities
As I mentioned last week, I recently made the decision to work through the ISTE Coaching Academy series. I shared the idea with my PLN and it has quickly grown into more than I anticipated. Recent conversations have led to the set up an online community for Technology Coaches in AISA. I made the request toContinue reading “Sharing is Caring and Full of Opportunities”
#AEC2016 Reflecting on leading professional learning
I’ve just finished my first real conference presentations. I was lucky enough to be invited to be a part of the AISA Educator’s conference in Johannesburg this year. It was a fantastic, challenge that has my mind spinning and exhausted. Three days of two and a half hour each morning and afternoon sessions will wearContinue reading “#AEC2016 Reflecting on leading professional learning”
Light Up The Sky
And so it would seem that we have come full circle. My very first post for COETAIL described the Long Strange Trip to my PLN. Now that we are coming to the end, its time to revisit this magical group of people who qualify me as a connected educator and help me continue to growContinue reading “Light Up The Sky”
The Rise of EdCampAcc
Fair warning. This post has nothing to do with COETAIL, except that I have tried to apply some of what I’ve learned from the courses. But I’ve got this blog and figure I should use it. Oh, and it got kind of long, so I broke it into two parts. This is part one. I don’tContinue reading “The Rise of EdCampAcc”
Just the beginning
“beginnings are usually scary, and endings are usually sad, but its everything in between that makes it all worth living.” ― Bob Marley In November I started #AfricaEd with inspiration and help from some newly found friends on Twitter. I had no idea what would happen. I had a lot of questions. Would anyone joinContinue reading “Just the beginning”
Taking on the #GlobalEd #TwitteratiChallenge
Its been a whirlwind of a year for me. I took on a new “part-time” role as a Tech coach during one free prep period, in November started and ran #AfricaEd chat twice a week, started COETAIL, managed to get invited to present at Learning 2 Africa and began planning an EdCamp for next September here inContinue reading “Taking on the #GlobalEd #TwitteratiChallenge”
Its Tricky
Its always interesting how things seem to fall into place. My students just recently collected five days worth of evidence of their digital presence as part of a history project. I had not intentionally thought of the opportunity it would present to discuss their digital footprint, I was thinking more primary sources, yet there it was.Continue reading “Its Tricky”
