Re-thinking learning for the 21st Century
Written by Elissa Gelleny
Reflection. It’s a thing. I know it’s a thing, but yeesh, it’s really a thing. It’s hard to process that I was a Season 3 participant and now we are on Season 13. And, while I am by no means someone with blogging prowess, as I reflect, the main thing that keeps resurfacing for me … Continue reading “Reflections on the Indigenous learning opportunities we create…”

ATTENTION: Please note that this blog post was started a week ago… I have had many learning moments over the past week while getting back into blogging, and I have greatly enjoyed the hours I have spent contemplating, researching and generally (or in some cases, specifically) reflecting upon what it means to be a ‘teacher’, where … Continue reading “Blog 3.0 – Episode 1: Channelling our Inner Teacher Champion”

(AKA My Response to the 3rd F2F Session… Part I) My original draft for my action plan post (which clearly did not make it to the published realm) focused on Twitter. I have been excited about Twitter since my first Twitter chat back in the fall of 2014, and I dove in faster to this … Continue reading “Twitter-centric! … Wait a minute… Student-centric?”

I hit a bit of a bump in the road when I started out on Twitter. And while I still have questions, many of which are silly–such as what really is the difference between the @ and the #–I feel like I can use TweetDeck, attend a Twitter Chat, and sometimes even contribute (if I’m … Continue reading “Time.
