My life as a primary teacher

Welcome to my personal teaching journal from Sydney, Australia. Created for a university assessment, this website is a space to share reflective blog posts, classroom insights and the ongoing learning that comes with life as a primary teacher.

A little bit about me...

Hi, I'm Kyara and I am 27 years old beginning my pathway to becoming a primary school teacher. 

I am obsessed with the gym and will be competing next year in body building, so my love for fitness is relentless.

I also love going on walks/hikes and when I feel like finally relaxing, you can find me reading a book or ten!

Explore my topics for reflection

Browse the areas of reflection that shape my practice as a primary teacher. Each post documents ideas, experiences and learning from my education journey.

'Has technology made me a better learner, or has it simply made learning more convenient?'

 

'What are the benefits and risks of living and learning in a digital environment, and how are schools supporting students to navigate this digital world?'
