LOL. This is so going to be me. I still have a 3000 word assignment to complete...

What good classroom management looks like.
Seriously, I do!
Via the new social learning
Randomly, as I was sat watching some telly last night, I realised that I’ve had more CPD in the last year than I had since beginning my NQT year. One of the major reasons for this, (and there are others) is the ability to network and share on twitter/ tumblr / Dropbox.
The various versions of ‘tags’ allow us to share our ideas, experiences, resources and, when necessary, complaints. Just like the ‘staffroom’, I was anxious that it might become a bitter spiral in to the hell and unstoppable moaning, but it isn’t.
Why?
Well, because #teachers who are using these sites aren’t using them to moan about little Johnny who won’t hand his homework in on time; they are using them simply for CPD.
Those teachers out there who aren’t a part of the ‘network’ - where are they getting their professional development?..
This is my pedagogy target - to be more creative and try something new.

Dear Powers-At-Be:
Please consider a way to give me credit for the massive amount of time I spend searching the web, participating in #edchats and reading #education tumblr feeds. While you still see PD hours as “in a meeting,” I would like to pick up a few while watching the latest webinar.
Gracias.
If you have any questions, I’ll be at the coffeshop. But I’m available by Skype.
