Procrastinate No More: Back to Blogging

8/30/2015

0 Comments

 
Planning for September feels like hitting the 'reset button', in life -- a new beginning, a moment to pause and consider next actions.


To accomplish some of my long terms goals as a teacher, writer and parent, I want to become a consistent blogger.


 Here my goals for this blog:

1. Practice my quick, reflective writing without getting bogged down in perfection. As Jillian Michaels says in one of her fitness DVD's, "Perfect is Boring." This relates to the work I need to do on my writing process as a new part-time MFA student.

2. Reflect on my role as a teacher in the Ontario Secondary school classroom in 2015. I hope that my posts can become a point of conversation for other educators, parents and students. I am especially excited by the new initiatives at WRDSB and I am very proud to be an educator in the Ontario public system.

3. Articulate ideas and reflections I have stored in my mind about all things that so that I canget them out into the world so that I might sharpen my thinking through conversation and dialogue.

    About This Blog


    This blog began when I asked my Grade 10 students to blog for an English class in 2011.  I chose to focus on an exploration of Wordworth's poem "Lines above Tintern Abbey". 

     Why? I wrote a very bad essay about this poem in first year university and in my own way, I am trying to make amends with that failed attempt.

    Its evolving into a reflection on my adventures in education, motherhood, life and most recently as a student in  UBC's Optional- Residency MFA Creative Writing program and WRDSB's 1:1 Chromebook Pilot Project.

    Currently, I am teaching with the Waterloo Region District School Board in Ontario, Canada. Opinions are my own.
