Connecting with other education professionals is extremely valuable to ensure I continue to learn, be kept up to date, consider new research or as a means to bring fresh ideas to my classroom. With this in mind I have a range of networks to draw upon. A list of my current networks are
- Twitter – I have followed over 200 educators, and organisations and Tweet to my followers interesting blog posts and ideas related to education.
- Facebook – I participate and engage with other teachers on several Facebook groups including
- Year 3/4 Australian Teaching Ideas
- Australian Year 3 Teachers
- Toowoomba Autism Noticeboard
- Junior Primary/Primary Teachers of Adelaide
- Surviving Casual Teaching
- Education Queensland Discussion Groups including
- Curriculum into the Classroom
- Grade 3-4 Teachers
- Learning Difficulties
- OneSchool Community
- Flinders University Alumni
These connections contribute towards achievement of focus area 7.4.
