Miss D the Teacher: February 2015
http://missdtheteacher.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2015. Have I built an eco chamber? Is #edchatNZ an echo chamber? A place where we constantly pat each other on the back, encourage each other, however, not challenge and drive each other to new heights? Recently commented on this. Steve Mouldey. And I have discussed this. However, #edchatNZ also genuinely needs the warm fluffies one gets from participating. The warm glow you get from no longer being a lone nut. Words, is how to be warm and demanding? The devil's advocate avatar.

Miss D the Teacher: July 2015
http://missdtheteacher.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Subject teacher identity crisis. I was super excited when just before the holidays, this topic won the poll for #edchatNZ night:. What's the point of subjects in an age of wicked problems where collaboration rather than isolation will help us solve them? The archive for the chat is here. And the 10 minute debrief podcast will be here. In a few weeks with our other podcasts. So what is the point of subjects? And who decides what students need to learn anyways? To get back to the id...

http://missdtheteacher.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 27, 2015. Just how much do you respect diversity? I just had a chance to follow up on some of the reaction to your EDUCANZ and PPTA related decisions that you shared today (for background see here. And then for today's reactions see the comments on this post. And this twitter conversation. Do you seek to understand? Or do you label? Thank you to those of you who showed empathy today. Well done Claire for not compromising on what you believe in. Monday, March 23, 2015. As we endeavour to mee...

Miss D the Teacher: December 2014
http://missdtheteacher.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. How might we. build a nest? During the final #edchatNZ chat of the year, one of the questions were "What has been the best/most critical question you encountered this year? Some of the responses included "Why does the education system need to change? Or "Why do I need to change my practice if my students are getting good NCEA results? It seemed that many of the questions that the crowd shared, were why. Or the obstacles they are currently facing? Or the tensions within their wo...

Miss D the Teacher: November 2014
http://missdtheteacher.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 6, 2014. SOLO is a thinking taxonomy that is used widely here in New Zealand. It is a great way to scaffold students towards increased complexity. Although I am very much a newbie to using SOLO taxonomy, I have very much fallen in love with one of its tools, the SOLO hexagons. Now am I wondering, how will I refine my SOLO hexagon use next. I'm sure there will be something on Pam Hook's. Fabulous site. Or on Matt. Saturday, November 1, 2014. When algebra and art meet. Follow me on Twitt...

Miss D the Teacher: L is for left behind
http://missdtheteacher.blogspot.com/2015/04/l-is-for-left-behind.html
Saturday, April 18, 2015. L is for left behind. It appears that I got a little left behind with the A to Z blogging challenge, for no good reason other than needing the time to concentrate on other things. I should be up to to the letter P by now. However that is not the only ' left behind. Teachers are using Twitter as. A place to share resources and to make and respond to others’ requests for information. Hence, if you are not part of these conversations, it is likely that you are missing out on the di...
