Who am I?
Tena koutou, my name is Helen. I am an educator and employer. My own formal education involved mainly the study of Zoology at Canterbury University. After a number of different jobs ranging from Contract Scientist to Early Childhood Centre Manager I decided to train as a Secondary School Teacher. I taught Science, Maths and Biology for five years before moving to Otago Polytechnic where I worked in the area of academic support. I am now back where I started working in education in an Early Childhood Centre. I guess I really do believe that this is where we can make the MOST difference to a person's educational outcome.
My other interests range from spending time with my partner and three children, gardening, scrapbooking and walking the dog. I am also trying to learn Te reo Maori in my spare time.
Blogs and Wiki's
My blog Who's Teaching Who Here? was a journal of my development of on-line support resources for students at Otago Polytechnic and the development of the wikieducator course Peer tutoring. It is now a journal of my work as a manager/educator in an Early Childhood Centre. More or less same stuff, just aimed at a different aged learner.
Some of my other blogs include:
- Student Tutoring Students.
- Carrot Tops A gardening blog
- Cards 'n Stuff - A scrapbooking and cardmaking blog
- My Photos
- My Videos
I am also contributing to the Computer Literacy Resources for Teaching wiki pages and the Develop skills for tertiary study wiki pages.
