About

Welcome to my Digital Pedagogies in Secondary Schools blog!

 

I’m a secondary education student at Central Queensland University CQU), with Geography and Business as my subject minors. As a pre-service teacher, my motivation to be a high school educator stems from my passion for inclusive education, particularly amongst students with disabilities, Indigenous learners and students with complex needs and situations.

 

For the past three years I was living in Far North Queensland with my family. My husband is a secondary teacher, graduating in 2017, so we moved up north to undertake his regional experience in an area with a high Indigenous student population. I was lucky enough to work as a Teacher’s Aide in the Special Education department whilst living there, and absolutely loved it! It embedded my motivation to become a teacher. Whilst there I didn’t see a great deal of ICT use, so I’m really interested in the course content of this Digital Pedagogies unit.

 

We are now living back on the Sunshine Coast, and I’m pumped to get this degree done. I am here to learn how best to support my students, by applying a diverse range of pedagogies and styles, in order to build relationships, value, engagement, confidence and autonomy. 

 

Thanks for stopping by!
