A PLPeep’s reflection from the Australia community
It’s a time for reflection as the Australia community had their culminating session this week. Delia Jenkins, a Maths/Science teacher at Brauer College in Warrnambool, Victoria, shares her thoughts on her learning experience with us. Here’s what she had to say: In the beginning. A colleague and I arrived at the first F2F (face-to-face) day after a very early rise and 3.5 hour drive. I had been asked if I would like to go to the PLP professional development and was told it would be a great opportunity to further my IT skills....
