First Presentation

On Thursday I completed my first presentation of the program.  I can't say it was clear sailing exactly but at least there weren't any eggs or vegetables thrown.    In hindsight, I could have framed my exercise a little better and been a bit more confident with my delivery.  The exercise itself seemed sound and some classmates told me afterwards that they enjoyed it.  Hopefully, I'll get more comfortable with giving presentations as time goes on. Best of luck to everyone who's still to come, I've got your back.

A Beginning

Hi there and welcome to my secret island (ok, I guess its not so secret).  I’ll be using this site to give vent to some of the strange and wondrous notions which pop into my head as we progress through our course.  However, its likely (probable) that sometimes there won’t really be much doing in the idea department.   On these grey occasions, I’ll try to provide a link to something interesting I’ve come across on my journeys round the net.   I’ll do my best to keep these tidbits relevant to teaching in some way.  

I should also mention that I’m a bit of a music nut and that I plan to apply the skills I’ve gained making this blog to the creation of another which will compliment a radio program I’ll be hosting on CFUV.  The show will be starting in October and is tentatively titled “Fool's Gold from Dimension ?”.  I’ll be sure to post a link to this other blog once its up and running.

I’m looking forward to keeping up with what you guys are thinking. Hopefully, you won’t think that what I write here will have been better off left on “the island”, so to speak.  Anyway, thanks for making it this far!
