How to be a smart worker

A SMART WORKER’S BLOG

        Sulaiman Semayobe’s reflection about being a smart worker

     I believe am a Smart Worker because:
1.       I share and learn with and from others with in our school setting and on the Social media through group discussions, tweets and blogs.

2.      Social media has always helped me to keep up to date with what is happening all around the world, keeping me informed which has improved my competence, skills, and attitude and also to expand my Professional Learning Network.

I would wish to change the notion; ‘work hard’ to ‘work smart’ through dialogue, discussions and constructive arguments both at individual level and via social networks over the internet.

  I wish to spend time in lucrative research in order enhance my knowledge, expose it and share it with other people in the teaching profession.

I wish to bring real data from the field together with my students and feed it on the relevant sites on the internet so that it is evaluated by the leading professionals in the field of my teaching subject (Geography) via discussion.

Semayobe's learning experiences with technology in teaching.

My reflections on the topic: Where Am I?

I have discovered that team work is the best weapon to most complex tasks.

I have as well discovered that I mostly use Knowledge creation as regards the UNESCO ICT competences for Teachers (CFT) because I mostly take students to the field for field work in Geography.

I have learnt how to create a blog and how to use it.


MY PERSONAL GOALS FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT DURING THE CCTI COURSE


  • I hope to use what I am learning in technology to soften my teaching exercise.
  • I wish to publish part of my research work from the field using my blog.
  • I hope to use my blog to publish my GIS technology enhanced maps and link up with the world of Geographers who are already in the field.
