Why my current twitter feed is not working – it’s one huge hug fest of “awesome educators” brimming with “positivity” and hugs. And asking questions for apps to track things that have no academic or learning legitimacy. And no one challenges them as to “why”.
It’s the same in school – everyone is positive and upbeat and being critical is not appreciated. Are we creating a monster?
I’m currently living in Dubai, UAE, which is the latest in a long line of places I’ve been living in the last few years including China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain, Switzerland, Brazil, Netherlands, Italy, Luxembourg, and South Africa. I’m married with two adult children. Having lived around the world I’ve acquired quite a few languages and my big passion is bi/multi-lingualism and - culturalism, which I try to incorporate into my work, learning and essays wherever possible! I finished my MIS degree in December 2014 and my M Ed (Knowledge Networks and Digital Innovation) in October 2016. My murky past is in commerce and industry as a Chartered Accountant, doing a lot of random studying and learning and I’m currently working in an American School but have been a librarian PYP, MYP and IB in other international schools.
