Are you Salty or are you Sharing

I recently stumbled upon this Video and it made me think. Am I the Dead Sea or am I the Sea of Galilee. Go look for yourself, who are you?

This is a very powerful thought. As teachers we are fed by the same river Jordan (CAPS). Do we keep to ourselves and give to the learners only those that is fed to us or do we give them more? Are we creative, passionate and are we in the habit of sharing. Let’s share what we have and give it to those that will run our country one day. Share and stop being salty!

Conversation Between Teachers about CAT

I don’t know if I should be worried or not. I had a conversation with another teacher on Facebook about CAT in our schools and his conversation really raised my blood pressure as well as my direction about my research field for Masters or even Honours. 

I will add our conversation but unfortunately most of the conversation will be in Afrikaans. I would like all of you to please comment. I will be leaving his name blank for the sake of confidentiality. 

My question is if teachers sit with this attitude what will the learners perception of CAT be when he or she have to choose subjects at the end of grade 9?

My Journey Storyline

While doing my Microsoft Workshop last weekend as mentioned in previous post I was introduced to "SWAY".  Please take a look at my Storyline above, named My CPUT Journey. Please tell me what you think about it. 

Feel free to go and build your own Storyline by going to the SWAY website (Follow this link). 

What a Privilege

Yesterday, 10 June 2016, I met with my mentor teachers for my next Teaching Practice. My goodness what a pleasant surprise. Been many years since I met such wonderful people under one roof. I got all my timetables, subject tables and textbooks. So now I can use the holiday to my advantage to prepare my lesson plans.
