Human

Before going back to school tomorrow, here are a few of my professional aims for the year.

• Continue to try, question, reflect on how digital technology (DT) can enhance and/or threaten the purpose of education (not schooling!) as it see it: to extend the understanding of the world beyond our immediate experiences while respecting those experiences, and through that learn how to function as individuals together in ever-changing societies.

• Continue my “deliberate practice” and get as many colleagues, students, friends as possible to enjoy DT for the humanity it can enable and enhance.

• Write a book on Moodle (yep, working on it!) and continue to teach and learn (with) this phenomenal resource.

• Work on EVICTS becoming a useful point for collaboration between teachers.

• Run a Philosophy & Ethics course for which I have worked hard to get into our school.

• Attend and/or present at a MoodleMoot somewhere.

• (Continue to) love serendipity afforded by social media but say ‘no’ when sleep and rest are needed.

May another Antipodean school year begin!
