Going Somewhere

I’ve been a Twitter user for a couple of years now, but it is only in the last couple of months that I have begun to change the way I use it. Recently I’ve been making more and more connections in the education community, reading and being inspired by fellow Tweachers and writers who have a great deal of interesting things to say.

I don’t feel like I have much to say, but I am nearly getting there.

In fact, being inspired by all these brilliant teachers actually made me feel more and more inadequate. I feel just an observer to these really interesting conversations going on; that I have nothing to add.

Yet more and more I feel the only way add something is to get involved, to give it a go. I know I am joining (am already part of) a dynamic community who have a great deal to say about life and learning.

So what do I have to say? I teach in a pretty much unique secondary school in a pretty much unique role which I love. I’m willing to give things a go and I’m interested in what works in what can be a challenging setting.

My hope is that this will be a platform for others to have a voice—former students as well as current ones—and that together we may journey and discover things about ourselves. Above all, I hope these ramblings may be interesting, entertaining and hopefully inspiring to others who are like minded.

And you never know; maybe I'll get somewhere.
