Today at school I was being observed by my ‘teaching mentor’. This is someone who I can go to (as an early career teacher) with issues, questions, and someone to bounce ideas off. It is a senior person in the school. They are also meant to critique me on what I’m doing and how I could improve.
Today I invited them into my year 9 class. The mentor needed to see me using technology to sign off on one of the NSW IT standards. So, with pleasure, I invited them into year 9 (see the previous post as to why).
I delivered a near-perfect lesson without a single technocal glitch. Everything went well. My mentor, at the end, said “You’ll have to teach me how you did all of that” in regards to the technology and what-not I was using.
I felt quite chuffed.
Thomas.
Well done, Quite right to feel chuffed. I really enjoyed the previous entry too.

Sounds like you are the ‘technological pedagogical messiah’ there…
