Friday - first post

Friday afternoon at school

This is what I SHOULD be doing - what a mess!

Aah, it's Friday afternoon and quiet around here. I love Friday afternoons. Usually I love them because I go to the pub with "The Committee" (if you read ever read this blog you'll know who you are). I'm loving this particular Friday afternoon because nobody is around to ask me to do things. It's eerily still, even though just across the quad the hall is full of students playing badminton (my daughter included).

I decided to set up this whole blog thing as I'm my school's e-learning leader and I have this horrible fear of losing touch with the way the world works, being reluctant to put myself out there. Doing this is a scary thing for me because it makes me feel very exposed. Usually I don't post things because I worry about being judged or I think I don't have anything new to say. But just recently I've had a bit of a desire to "tweet" something and run out of characters to say it in. Hence the blog. If I ever do have something that I think others might want to read I'll put it here.

In fact, I'll put stuff here anyway ... just cos. Usually it will be about teaching and learning. Occasionally it might be just stuff. Bear with me - this is all new and I'm feeling queasy at the very thought of clicking "Publish"!
