Predictably, updates have been sparse over my NQT year. It’s almost finished now, only 7 weeks before the glorious summer holidays. It’s fair to say I’ve learnt an awful lot over the last year, too much to digest and summarise I feel, but should my half-term spare a few minutes I might try.
I will be staying at my current school for the next year and I’ve already started my Masters, focusing on Innovative Technology in the Classroom. I never thought I’d be doing any more essays after my PGCE but then I said that after my degree. Hopefully I’ll be doing some interesting stuff as part of the MA which should make for exciting lessons and research areas.
Something which has partially happened at my school, and more noticeably at others, is the shift away from the importance of ICT as a subject, a topic which I have mixed views on (a qualified one from Steve Wheeler). I’m still gathering my ideas however, before fully committing anything to (digital) paper.
