Wow! I have just spent a quite Sunday afternoon searching for useful blogs for people embarking on a teaching career like myself as part of my Web101 assignment. I have being blown away by the depth and breath available. This has just provided me with a new weapon for my arsenal of handy tips and resources for everything from teaching resources, tips for beginners, how to approach schools, study tips, etc etc etc. I've added a few to my blogroll, so if your a student-teacher like myself have a look ... you just might stumble across a gem.

A little info about my studies
I am studying the Bachelor of Education at Curtin University on-line through Open Universities Australia (OUA). So far I have completed first year and am just beginning my first 2nd year subject Educating Students with Disabilities and am taking my first elective Web101. This blog has being established as part of a Web Presence assignment for Web101. Studying on-line, from the comfort of my own home, has made this degree flexible and convenient to me. I can manage my studies around my children and plan to complete the degree when my youngest child begins school. The idea of becoming a 'real-life' teacher is frightening and exicting. Questions I ask myself all the time are Can I do it?, Will I like it? Why am I putting myself through this? The thing that gets me through though, is knowing that in the end it will be worth it. Teaching WILL be an exiciting, challenging and rewarding career.
A beginning ...
This is my very first foray into the world of blogging, so I thought I would begin with a little about myself. I am a stay-at-home mum with two beautiful children, 5 yr old Fletcher and 3 yr old Scarlett. I am also studying primary teaching with Curtin University. This blog will mainly focus upon my journey towards becoming a teacher, but also from time to time include snippets of how this journey fits into the rest of my life.
