In My Ele ment. Sunday, 17 May 2015. Https:/ www.flickr.com/photos/paxson woelber/5434541912. I didn't take a lot of big risks as a child. I was shy and my mother was happy to let me sit back; she was disabled and couldn't run after us. She adored being a mum and doing everything for us. I remember being scared about learning to swim, playing with children I didn't know and catching a bus by myself into town. The New Zealand Curriculum document has a similar vision for our young people:. Being enterprisi...

SPARK AKO A Teacher's Learning Journey: June 2015
http://sparkako.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, 27 June 2015.

Following this intro we went about making bread using Building science concepts book 56: Bread: The chemistry of bread making. Which su...

Wednesday, 9 December 2015. BEHIND THE SCENES: The making of "They're Coming". Following the plethora of questions on my Film Club's film They're Coming.

If you have any other questions - please be sure to leave a comment. Also, if you want to see the film on the big screen again, it is being played during the 2016 Movies in Parks. From OMG Te...

In My Ele ment. Tuesday, 11 March 2014. Mlearn14 - "They're Technologies of the Present - Not the Future". I've paraphrased Stephen Lethbridge and he's quite right; too many folk talk about technologies and practices that are right here right now: social networks like Twitter, 3D printers, coding, mobile computers. They talk about them like there is a choice to adopt or not to adopt. It's imperative that we keep up because what is current now will be superceded before we can blink. The Pencil and the Jovi.
