My Common Place Book

The Common Place Book is what finally pushed me to create this blog. I've always had much to say and do with regard to education and learning and like the traditional teacher (I've claimed NOT to be!) I have never published my own reflections, feelings, dreams, dissapointments or challenges. I've written some but never on the world-forum. Here I am, participating in the second-to-last course I must take for a Certificate of Leaders (not even sure the title) that I began as part of a previous employment when the professor assigns the task of creating and maintaining a Common Place Book. As I begin to understand the concept, I realise with all my Educational Technology background that this is the PERFECT opportunity for me to begin blogging....here we go!

For this Common Place Book I will reflect upon the class readings and discussions as I make sense of them in my personal context--with my background, my life -- hhhhmmmm now isn't that what we educators call differentiation?
