learn, create, SHARE,

After conducting a presentation of my class site for a university assignment a few weeks ago,  I realised that it was time to confront my fear of public speaking. As such, Clarelle and I went to present about digital teaching to a group of Bed (Hons) students at the University of Auckland.

This was quite a daunting idea at first, but I decided to jump in and give it a go. With someone I trust by my side, I was able to deliver my presentation more confidently than I had done before and actually found it quite enjoyable.

I also realised how far I had come in my digital knowledge since the start of my teaching career (only a little over a year ago).  Back then I was only just learning to use Google Docs and had just discovered my drive. I also used to really struggle to make videos or engage with multi-media. Now I have overcome these fears and I am using them more than ever - voluntarily filming videos with my class and editing them with ease.

I look forward to seizing more opportunities to share this knowledge and to speak about my journey with others. I think if I can make this much progress (with a lot of support) others can too, and I would love to aid in their digital journeys as well.

  1. I am really happy to see you share your presentation as I was blown away by your meticulous preparation of the e-tivities when you shared your site with us. You create such amazing resources to the point where I have bookmarked your site and use it as inspiration for my own digital practice!

    2. Hi Heath,

      Thank you so much for your comment! Do take anything that might suit your learners. I was really inspired after our summer school paper and what Rena taught us about e-tivities.

  2. Miss Stone I am glad to read your peer (Heath) and I am sure others too were impressed by your site. You have put in so much work into your site starting from the end of last year. I too enjoy looking at your site and also find your use of images, videos, text to be very inspiring for learning. Proud of you :).
