I'm Chelsea Donaldson and I am a fifth-year teacher. I teach in a digital 1:1 learning environment and am passionate about using technology to engage and extend my learners. I'm all about making my lessons engaging and fun, and creating a safe, inclusive and happy classroom. This year I am teaching an awesome class of year 5 & 6 learners at Glen Innes School, and documenting my learning along the way. I've previously taught year 7 & 8 students.

Reflecting on my First Year as a Beginning Teacher in the MDTA
It is crazy to think that I have almost completed my first year as a beginning teacher in the MDTA. I have learnt heaps and grown a lot. Here is my doco where I talk about my beliefs, the MDTA programme and how I use Manaiakalani's 'Learn Create Share' pedagogy. Thanks to Dorothy Burt, Anne Sinclair, Fiona Grant, the MDTA BTs and the team at Glen Innes Primary who have helped me on my journey! I am looking forward putting my learning into practice into my own class next year.

You have given me an in-depth look at how far you have come this year Chelsea and what you are providing for your learners to enrich their lives and experiences. This is such an informative and entertaining doco of your journey. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne! I'm glad you enjoyed my doco, I tried to make sure it would reflect myself as a teacher as well as the amount I have developed. Thank you for all your support and help this year :)
DeleteThanks for sharing Chelsea, this is so good!! Love the background when you are speaking as well, I found it very calming to watch the ocean behind you haha. You spoke well, your content was well-constructed with a clear message and you can definitely see your personality come through, not some cold clinical video. Go you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ashley! It is always so nerve racking to put stuff like this up haha. I'm glad you liked my backdrop! I thought it was a good place to film and it better fits my personality - I'm not really a fan of being stuck inside. Thanks for your kind words! I'm looking forward to seeing your doco and to hear about your journey this year :)
DeleteThis was a fascinating insight into your first year of teaching Chelsea. As the others have mentioned, you personality shines through while you share your professional learning journey. I am sure you will look back on this with pride as your career progresses. Well done you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy! I really wanted it to reflect my personality, so I am glad it came through on the doco. Thank you for all your help and support this year! I have learnt and grown a lot.
