It Begins

And we're off.

So as a student teacher, the role of student has bowled me over once more. The feeling of a have no stable ground under neath you and the slow  sinking feeling as the weight of reading an knowledge is pilled on top of you.

but there is hope.

The Motivational Video with the rocks and pebbles has inspired me to take that metaphor into my quicksand universe.

Instead of carrying the rocks and being weighed down by them. I'm going to see how dropping some of them and standing on them, using them as support, will change how I view the work to come.

Hence the "Trial and Error" title.

Even if some of those stones start sinking the multitude of option that I will "TRY"  means that hopefully some will keep me afloat.

Here's hoping.

    Great start Oliver!
    Interesting to see you are interested in the drama curriculum. Blogs are a great tool to support drama in schools. As you know I am a keen supporter of multiple intelligences learning theory to guide my pedagogy choices.
    I have some photos and a movie that my students used to capture there drama studies. As the students created the drama a blog tool could have been used to track their learning and encourage higher order thinking skills.
    I am happy to share with you.
    regards
    Gary

      oh Gary

      I think the your link has been highjacked. It takes me to an online survey

      Wait I just found it on other words. Looks like google is doing some random surveying. Or it might be something more sinister.

      It was something sinister. I had to remove Male-ware. First time

    Thanks Gary

    I would love to see some of those examples. I'm interested in exploring the positive spaces of self analysis and reflection. I have trouble watching myself in on camera and I realise this could be because of my own learning style and I will need to explore that in order to teach my students effectively.

      I have heard it takes about 4 times before you feel comfortable seeing yourself on camera.

      I've seen myself more than that and I'm still not "comfortable" with it
