Alert: Blog 'newbie'

I have always thought about starting a blog but didn't know what to start blogging about and I didn't think I would be persistent enough to come back and continue posting after the first week. However, here I am, starting something new. A blog which I aim to keep up with what I've learnt, what I've taught and yes, as the title says, everything associated with learning to teach and teaching to learn. 

Initially, the idea of blogging came up in my first class of M.Teach (Primary) at the University of Sydney, where my tutor suggested that we keep a 'learning journal' that we would continue for the next couple of years (If not forever!) which did not actually have to be written in a notebook with pen. As I didn't think I would keep up with a blog, I started my learning journal on googledocs. And as expected, it started off with long journal entries in the first week and eventually progressing to dot-points. But surprisingly, the dot-points continued throughout the first semester and into the next! 

This semester, for a creative arts unit, we have to keep a 'reflective journal'. Once again, I started on googledocs but have decided, even though it is 10weeks into the semester, that I will try something new and start this blog. So, many posts in this blog will mainly focus on what i've learnt in the creative arts unit but I hope to include other KLAs and some reflections on my professional experience placements as well. 

To do: 
  1. Learn how to use a blog.
  2. Edit reflections and dot points on googledocs.
  3. Copy-paste those reflections into this blog. 
  4. Continue and actually do it. 
Yay! Wish me luck :)
