Profile Information

About Me: I am currently the Deputy Head Teacher of Canterbury School, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and have been working here for just over 8 years. Recently I decided I needed to change my direction and pursue the next step in my teaching and learning career so I resigned. I will be starting my new teaching role in a school outside Leicester in September and I have many new steps to look forward to.

I’m also a keen musician; I play drums and guitar and have been in a few bands over the years. I also like painting but haven’t quite developed a style to retire on.

My teaching has always been influenced by my interest in technology. My first steps in this were back in the early 80’s when my primary school got its first BBC Micro. Happy days indeed.

My Goal: connect my students in Brandon, South Dakota, USA to other students around the world to learn about school and life in other countries. I want to connect with five different places around the world and correspond via my blog to learn about culture and life in our respective places. I teach 6th grade (11-12 year olds) but the subject and age doesn’t matter. I have done this in the past with places like Turkey, Scotland, and Brazil. There are many things we can do with this to make it a very enriching experience. If you are willing to be a part of this, we will talk about the details at that point. My school year starts August 22, 2011. Visit my blog to learn a little bit about me and my teaching. http://waterforsixthgrade.blogspot.com

Thank you for your consideration.
