My Special Interest Group.

The next 'task' was to create a special interest group and join others along the way too. This idea is to find people who are working along the same sort of lines as your inquiry, so that you can share and discuss ideas/ literature and help each other along the way. 

 So I've created my SIG on google groups. I am hoping this works! 

 As I am looking into community dance and how it has changed over the last 20 years or so, I would really like anyone from any background to join and share their ideas/ opinions of community dance. Also looking into how in a lot of schools now dance is part of their education whether it is a core subject, or they do this as a whole term subject. I know I myself go into primary schools for a cross-curricular approach to their lessons etc. 

 So yes please all feel free to join my group, and I am going to look at some others to join myself to. 

 Here is the link:

 https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/special-interest-group-community-dance

Also I have created a google community page, please feel free to join and share on that too! 

 https://plus.google.com/communities/114502732372211180351

Hope to chat to you soon!

Good News!

This is just a quick blog... So today I had a meeting with one of the companies I work for. It was really good, full of so much information and was lovely to see the team altogether as we don't get to do this often. One of my colleagues did a short presentation on 'Phonics' which was fantastic and has lead me to so many new ideas!  But that is not the best of it. Each year they select 4 members of staff to win teacher of the year, and I was one of them! I am so thrilled to be nominated! I nearly cried! It just goes to show, that the harder you work the more you get rewarded. I'm not sure if I'll win as I'm up against some great contenders, but just to be nominated makes me feel so proud!  So that's my good news of today!  Chow Chow

Task 3a: Current Networks

For the next few tasks we will be looking into networking. So the best place to start would be to look at our own networks. I have quite a few different networks, however I haven't wrote them down before so I was looking forward to doing my first map of my network to see how they connect. To network myself I find some of the best ways are through conversations, contacts, web 2.0, events and conferences. Doing these really helps you expand your network.  Ever heard the saying 'it's not what you know, but who you know.' ?  Now this doesn't help everyone but i find the more people you know in this industry the more opportunities you get. I like to get involved with as many projects as I can, even if it's volunteering because that opens you up to meeting more and more people and from there they can introduce you to their contacts. To me networking is a never ending process it will constantly build throughout your career. Below are images of my individual c...

First Week Back!

Hi all,  So summer is officially over, and I think the weather is definitely reminding us of that!  During the summer I had a lot of free time, so I was researching and planning for the year ahead, as well as going along to so many interviews for new job opportunities to help develop my career.  As this was the first week back at university it was time to put my plans to practice. I must admit I have struggled having such a huge gap between modules but I am now feeling ready and replenished to give Module 3 my all!  Let's get going! I am now working in 2 different stage schools, one is definitely more community based. Alongside this I am still working for the same dance company where I teach all ages from 3-100 years old (and that is no exaggeration). They have also offered me office work within their company which is amazing as I can learn what goes on 'behind the scenes' when running your own company. I have also signed up to 2 diffe...
