Hi there. I'm Mary Anne, a teacher at TBHS. I've mostly taught Maths, at all levels, over the last 30 years although I've taught Year 9 Science for a couple of years - in the days when Aranui HS wanted to lessen the number of teachers that yr 9 students have in front of them, they co-opted a few of us to teach doubleup subjects. Not an entirely successful idea, I think... and it was only purused for a couple of years, but that's another long story. I currently teach yr 9 and 10 Digital Literacy ie Computing, I could say that I'm learning, along with the boys, it's fascinating, new things like Scratch, Stop Animation and we're about to play with Comic Life.
I've totally mucked up, I believe. I would like to set up a blog for junior students to talk about methods for Problem Solving within the learning of mathematics but I now believe that I've setup a blog for you other Timnet people to have conversations with me in. That's fine. Let's converse.
After enjoying Andrew's session this morning I felt a mixture of excitement and deflation, excitement at the possibilities for using the IT, and deflation about my feelings, this-point-in-time stuff, what's happening now for me, teaching in 7 different classrooms, adrenaline stuff, feeling like I'm running from the start of the day till I relax in bed at night.
Now what?
