My First Ed Tech Blog

Hello! My name is Sinead and i'm from the north west of Ireland. Having just moved back from Switzerland after spending a year there, i moved to Galway over six weeks ago to begin the PGDE. I decided to undertake the PGDE for a number of reasons. Firstly, i was teaching English in Switzerland last year and really enjoyed the experience. I am also passionate about foreign languages, particularly French and German and as a language teacher i would like to try and instill this passion for modern languages in my future students! Or at the very least to motivate students to speak a foreign language and to gain more of an interest in other cultures.

Unfortunately i have limited computer experience. As an undergraduate i used computers to do basic word documents and look up various information on the internet. As a result i feel i will really benefit from this Ed Tech course. I hope to greatly improve my computer skills and learn more about what is available on a computer and how to make better use of it in the future.
