Recently my twitter handle @melaniem8 has been tweeted out regularly, due to my part in the Connected Conversations at ULearn17. We will be live streamed during our conversation.
Say What?
That is what I keep asking myself.
I have been missing from posting to my blog in the last 12 months for a number of reasons. I have a number of posts written in draft form yet to be published.
As I was getting lots of notifications on twitter, I thought I better see what is happening in there. I had a great laugh when I entered my twitter profile and clicked on my blog link which went to my last post titled ‘Presenting Sucks’. I wrote that more than a year ago. When I read the post I realised this is all true about presenting, for me anyway, yet here I am doing it again. Not only presenting to a group in the room but being livestreamed.
Since my last post I have learnt a lot. One of the things I have learnt is that being uncomfortable with doing something you know will benefit you and your ideas is a good thing. It means you are doing great things. Hello discomfort!
That is what I am doing, getting really uncomfortable, sharing research alongside an inspiring colleague I have the good fortune to work with. We have been given a great opportunity to do some research into how the VLNP-Virtual Learning Network Primary- impacts on our students. Our story surprised both of us and made for some excellent conversations. I believe the conversations we have had, made the research even more empowering to both of us than if we had done it on our own. Collaboration at it’s best.
If you can’t make ULearn 2017, join the connected conversations via the twitter feed #ulearn17 and #notatulearn17. I will also post the research into my blog once we have presented.
So What Now What
