FEAST OF LEARNING
I am 100% committed to this course. I have seen the benefits of PIPI one and two, and my growth from these classes has been very beneficial to my learning and my becoming a teacher. I enjoyed the feast of learning metaphor and agree there has to be a balance of equal contribution and respect for each other for genuine learning to occur. The metaphorical table of learning has been set and prepared diligently by our lecturers, it is now time for us to take a seat at the table and enjoy the feast of learning that is year three PIPI.

I made this word cloud on 'Word It' out because 'Tagxedo' unfortunately wouldn't work on my computer. I used the BTI colour blue in different shades to show what areas I feel confident in (the dark blue) and the areas I still feel I need to work on in terms of being a professional (the light blue). The pattern is numerous waves rolling in, to show that the process of becoming a professional will be continuous.
HOW AND WHY TEACHERS SHOULD BE RESEARCHERS
As teachers it is our responsibility to be knowledgeable because we must know more than our students in order to teach them new knowledge. Therefore we must always be learning and researching. Teachers can research new ways to teach old topics and how to teach different students based on ability levels and learning styles.
There has been numerous research projects completed on students, classrooms and teaching that teachers can use to better their practice.
In the 21st century it is so easy for teachers to research because of the internet. You can google any topic you want to know more about and thousands of hits will come up that you can glean knowledge from.
At the end of the day teaching is changing rapidly and its not enough to know the bare minimum, we must keep up to date on all the changes happening in our field so we can teach to the best of our abilities. Therefore we must research!
