My name is Teresa Swensen and I am a teacher who specialises in junior primary and primary school education. I have been working and studying in the coaching, training and teaching fields for nearly 15 years, and I have been loving every minute of it. I am resourceful, perceptive, organised, compassionate, and committed. My teaching practice is evidence based and my teaching strategies are backed with strong research. I have a love of learning and I endeavour to foster a love of learning and curiosity in my students.
This class blog located at https://2015room16.edublogs.org/ demonstrates achievement towards focus area 2.6.
The students in my year 5/6 class were allocated 1:1 laptops by the school and the class blog proved to be a valuable resource where I linked appropriate and relevant ballads and poems that Banjo Paterson wrote for the students to study. Additionally it provided an opportunity for students to publish their work to share with their peers, family and the wider community.
