7 Things You Don’t Need to Know About Me

It’s been a year since I started keeping a blog and I have been tagged on a couple occasions. This time I have been tagged by a fairly new addition to my PLN, mrrobbo , a year long colleague, Anne Mirtschin, and Lee Mowbray, another Australian blogger.

The idea behind this meme is to find out a little more about people in your network. So here are my 7 things you don’t need to know about me!!

1. I love open spaces and the feeling of freedom. That’s why my new extension has the indoor/outdoor feel about it. In fact the outdoors have been flying and slinking their way in the last couple of days – a bird and a lizard have made their way in.

2. I have two sisters, two daughters, three nieces, and two male pets!

3. I won the Minnie Mouse Award in Year 11 because I was so quiet in class. I’m still fairly shy but have pushed myself with the career moves I have made through teaching, presenting at conferences and running adult learning workshops.

4. I won the Outstanding Primary Teacher of the Year Award in 2006, which is something I am very proud of.

5. I used to sell children’s clothing in the 1990s whilst my girls were young. I managed to go on three Club Med trips based on my sales. During one trip to Vanuatu I successfully completed a trapeze upside down swing and catch!! Seriously!!

6. During my college years my friends and I traveled to Tathra, NSW for our end of year vacation. I got to meet Michael Hutchence of INXS in the local newsagency.

7. My hubby and I married in Fiji in 2004. My daughters were the bridesmaids and only guests :-) We were all dressed in white (beige pants for hubby) and in bare feet. The ceremony was in the gardens of the resort and we had the village choir for our background music.

Now it is my job to tag 7 others. So here it goes…
1. Sylvia Martinez
2. Frank
3. Drew Buddie
4. Frances Manning
5. Missi Baker
6. Orunner
7. Suz Arnott

Not just about knowing stuff!

Welcome to my new blog about learning. Here is where I am hoping to reflect and gather some great ideas that support my philosophy of where our education should be going. To me learning is not just about knowing stuff, but being part of a global world and being able to communicate, think and solve problems independently and with others.
