"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
Right, thought I'd start with a quote seeing as that strikes me as a very English Teacher-type thing to do when writing a blog. In fact, this is a very famous quote from a very famous poem by T. S. Eliot who was an American poet and one of my favourites. It also perfectly describes my aptitude for computers - in fact, I usually end up where I started, often because I press the 'back' key too many times.
Anyway - why am I writing a blog? Well, there are two main reasons. Firstly, our school is about to become a laptop school and it strikes me that a blog would be a great way to share things with my students that I don't otherwise get to share through lessons and other online resources - stuff like cool poems and reading recommendations, or just random thoughts on life, the universe and everything. Secondly, it's a chance for me to actually learn how to keep a blog and to use things like hyperlinks. Bear with me while I do so.
So if you're reading this you are presumable either one of my students or a random person who has stumbled on my blog - if so, you can find out more about my school here. The exact contents of this blog will probably evolve as I go along, but essentially:
- it is a professional tool rather than a personal blog
- it will be about teaching and learning in my subject area - English Literature and Language
- it will probably be very random...
