About Me

A LITTLE ABOUT ME: 

"All things truly wicked, start from an innocence" - Ernest Hemingway

Welcome to my ePortfolio that highlights my work and discoveries in the field of education, especially those to do with educational technology in the everyday classroom, its successes and failures.
My rationale for creating this blog is to have a one-stop resource for myself to refer to when I am in need of a lesson plan or a resource or a link to a useful website or a creative way to teach students essentials of the English language without making it seem grammatically tedious.
This is also a place where I aspire to connect with colleagues from the field of education, who would want to comment on my work, or add to the resource bank by sharing some of their resources or experiences. I am of the firm belief that in the teaching community, shared experience is a priceless wealth. My experiences shared here might be able to help a budding non-native user of the English language to teach the subject.
With that hope and conviction, I invite you to read further and leave your precious comments.

TECHNOLOGY SKILLS:

• Adept at using Educational Networking, and have used Edmodo for two years for teaching English Language & Literature to Grades 8, 9 & 10.
• Adept at producing moving images movies. For a better understanding of Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, I divided my class into groups of 4 and assigned 4 scenes to each group, which they had to pose for, with costume and props that they created, under my supervision. I then photographed them and put the images into a Prezi so it resembled a movie.
• Audio formatting - reading aloud poetry with sound effects and editing it on a Mac
• Using track changes 
• Using video and audio links to enhance interest in lessons on a daily basis.
