Ed Tech Foray
Innovative ideas, resources, lessons, and articles for implementing educational technology in the classroom.
Hi, I'm an experienced primary and early years teacher with a particular interest in raising barriers to professionals in education. I am passionate about the importance of effective leadership, ways that teaching staff can be best utilised and optimising the time in the classroom.
I have a background in experimental physics, so love all things practical and investigative in the classroom, and believe that the journey that academic journey that children take in the early years is probably as daunting and exciting as doing doctoral research - it's a voyage in to the unknown that needs freedom and careful assistance.
A teacher's views on the practise, policy and philosopy of early years and primary education
My blog is an outlet for some of my musings over the current state of early years and in particular I like to address issues which I think are critical to professionals achieving their very best. This could be what effective leadership looks like, how to carry out effective formative assessment or ways that continuing professional development can be used to help us maintain our passion for children's minds and learning.

Erlina R Ronda, Philippines, All Sectors, Mathematics Education
I was a high school mathematics teacher for eight years before my current work as mathematics educator for in-service teachers.
Assessing and Teaching K-10 mathematics
I believe that K-10 mathematics is about developing students' mathematical thinking and communication capacities first, and, knowing mathematics next.
Experience has also taught me that mathematics is best learned in the context of solving problems and doing mathematical investigations. This blog is my contribution to narrowing the gap between theory and practice in mathematics teaching and learning.

Feminist Teacher
Feminist Teacher intends to expand the circle of discussion to educators in the k-12 sector who consider their teaching practices to be feminist in design and implementation. The goal of the blog is to make feminist teachers visible to each other and to the larger world of educators, as we move forward with our important work.
Feminist pedagogy is one in which issues of race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, age, ability, politics, and human rights—among others—inform a teacher’s philosophical vision that shapes not only content but also action, both that of the teacher as well as the students in the classroom and beyond.
The Feminist Teacher blog ultimately inspires action: the action of the mind and of the heart for greater gender, racial, and economic justice.
