#edchatnz Reflections

Guest Blogpost: Jess Radich

I invited the two staff members from my school who attended #edchatNZ to contribute their reflections on the conference to my blog. Here are Jess' thoughts. You can follow her on Twitter @ikanarat Words by Me: I have dabbled in twitter (and Edchats) a wee bit - dropped into a few of the Thursday evening...

This is more of the overview of my experience of the first #edchatNZ conference, held at Hobsonville Point Secondary School 8-9th August, 2014. My other #edchatNZ blogposts can be read here and here. Okay, so pre-conference, I wrote this blogpost, where I outlined what I hoped to learn from attending #edchatNZ.

Recently I have been collecting the student voice of Maori students. The purpose of this has was to inform a series of PD sessions for the school staff about how we may provide better meet the needs of our Maori students. The following is a summary of some of the students responses.

Bridge to the Future

I have just returned from the most remarkable conference. Remarkable because it was the dream of an inspiring young teacher named Danielle Myburgh. Danielle started a twitter chat using the hashtag #edchatnz two years ago and it has blossomed into something big and powerful and amazing.

#edchatnz Conference - my reflection blog

I love that there is a blogging meme going around - it is awesome. Here are my brief, yet well considered responses... 1. How did you attend the #edchatnz conference (face 2 face, followed online or didn't)? I was lucky enough to have the inaugural #edchatNZ conference at my lovely school, Hobsonville Point Secondary School....

The Inaugural #edchatNZ Conference

On Friday and Saturday last week I attended the first #edchatnz conference. It was an awesome 2 days of connecting, sharing and engaging in educational discussions. A few things have really stuck with me over the past couple of days: Our students at HPSS are awesome.

Connections

The last week has been a revelation. This could be considered an overstatement, but it is not. This time last week I was struggling to marry the place where my pedagogy was and the environment the rest of me was in. It can be an incredibly tough road being a teacher.

Blogging Meme - #edchatnz

It has been over three years since I have used this blog and I had only a few posts on it then as well. I am not sure if this is my thing but have come to realise that posts don't have to be long and boring. So now there is a reason to start blogging again - time to think, reflect and collaborate.
Thanks to the steering committee for putting together such a wonderful and fun filled conference - it was AWESOME! Life in school will never be the same.

Reflections of a PST

First of, thanks to Danielle for the tag and for the encouragement to become a part of the #edchatNZ community. It was pretty amazing to attend the conference as a PST and know that there are educators all over the country that I can use as inspiration for my future teaching career.

On Saturday I attended the first ever #EdchatNZ conference in Auckland. At the end of an extremely hectic Book Week I was a bit shattered but I'm glad I went. I was pleased to run into Justine Driver, who had written an interesting blog post on "Setting up iPads using VPP and Meraki".

Final Reflections - #edchatnz

Wow what a whirlwind conference full of ideas, inspiration and connection. Imagine how it amazing it would have been if we all had this ability to connect when we were starting our teaching careers (many moons ago for some of us!). The thing I loved the most was takeaways and there were a lot of...

WOW on board flight NZ551 bound for Christchurch! Time to reflect on the MAGIC of the past two days... Danielle had a dream... She believed in her passion for education... She knew that her family and friends didn't want to talk about education 24/7...

I love language. That's one of the reasons I tweet. I love the crafting that goes into the "pithy epithet" of 140 characters. I love collective nouns. A school of fish. A pride of lions. A herd of cats. A bowl of nuts. I love being part of a collective noun.
