My 2012 Ride\u00a0\"Icha\"<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Wow! I can\u2019t believe that this year is almost over! I felt like I\u2019ve only just begun actually. It has been such a full and amazing year for me. I literally started the year as a little Kindergarten teacher who was just starting my PLN and eager to learn a lot.<\/p>\n

Well, I haven\u2019t done a lot really, but what I did this year was to be willing to try and learn new things. After joining #teachmeet at the end of 2011, I certainly was ready to take on more challenges. I started my class blog and have been having fun with it. My class has joined some projects — \u00a0having skype session with classes from Australia and then we also did a Voicethread project together.<\/p>\n

This year with the help of the amazing Vicky Loras and Ceres Pioquinto, I had the chance to write for ETAS Journal for their spring 2012 Issue, and I also had the honor of being featured in one of the #ELTChat podcasts for their 5th episode, thanks to James Taylor.<\/p>\n

I think one of the highlights for me this year was being able to present in a conference. My first ever was at the JELTA Conference in Jakarta this September where as nervous as I was, I was very happy to have some of\u00a0 my PLN around me including the lovely Barbara Sakamoto, Adi Cerman, Marlene Yosefien and Trika Simandjuntak. Marlene and Trika had also helped me to introduce iTDi among the participants of the conference. Now that\u2019s the true power of PLN in my opinion J . I was also very lucky to have the chance to attend and stood by Barbara\u2019s side as her co-presenter along with the incredible Marco Brazil at the 2012 JALT Conference in Hamamatsu, Japan. Not only that, I also got to meet and learnt from a lot of incredible people! It was a wonderful time indeed!<\/p>\n

Oh and one other thing that I\u2019m proud of; I have finally been able to present\u00a0 material at my school\u2019s curriculum meeting! For somebody who just started to learnt about Montessori and in a school where the standard has always been set, it was a major achievement for me! J<\/p>\n

I have to admit that my class has been a major force in my life; personally and professionally. My students have been the greatest muse any teacher could ever hope for. And if it weren\u2019t for them, I wouldn\u2019t have the urge to constantly learn and grow, so I could be a better teacher for them. Another muse in my personal development is of course my PLN, especially here in iTDi. I have never thought that being active online could give me so much! Not only for my teaching but also for my self.<\/p>\n

So my plan next year is to continue what I\u2019ve been doing — but raising the \u00a0bar even higher! I\u2019m already excited about the \u00a0iTDi workshop this coming February in Semerang, Indonesia, because I\u2019ll get the chance to share and hopefully inspire teachers here to always crave for more personal development and notice the power that PLN could give you. I\u2019m very optimistic for the coming year and to that I\u2019d say : Welcome 2013! Aza Aza Vivacity! ^_^<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
