I attended the Mobilize conference yesterday with my amazing principal. In all that I absorbed last night, one idea that has continued to confound me is this: branding.
I admit, there were parts of the conference that left me way feeling way out of my depth. This was one of them.
This idea of branding came from a session that was speaking more to students just about to graduate, and the idea of leveraging mobile technology in order to start a business, land a job, or create something profitable. This idea of branding was suggested.
This led me to wonder what my brand is. This connected nicely to the conversation I had with my principal in reflecting on what I had done in the school over the last 4 years, enacting positive change.
Therefore, here is my manifesto on my brand.
Technology - this plays a key role in my teaching - and the role it plays is to enhance my teaching.
Literacy - This is my passion, and has been for quite some time. I love to teach students to read and write, speak, listen, view and represent.
Numeracy - though not my strongest, it is my drive to constantly improve.
Social Justice - it is how I teach my content, a lens to view the world.
My brand, my teaching.
M.
