Hi Everybody!
Just to introduce myself: I have been teaching since 1987, previously in South Africa, but since 2006 here in New Zealand. I am married, with 4 busy teenage children, all still in High School.
I love teaching, always have, and am enjoying it now more than ever before. I am fortunate to have a great class, am at a lovely school and my students are inspiring. And if you think it sounds too good to be true, yes, I have the normal headaches and irritations that we all have. And the end-of-term grumps, too. But all in all teaching is what I love doing, and what makes me tick! One thing that has kept me going for all these years, is that things keep changing and improving. Every year I try out new things, and I've never stopped learning. I love using the newest computer technology, and I think teachers are some of the most up-to-date users of all. I'm looking forward to reading some of the great ideas and thoughts in this teachers community!
