Blogging...?

Welcome!

This being my first ever blogging experience, I guess I should firstly introduce myself. Hi, my name is Kris and as both, Julia and Joel have both stated below we will each be updating this blog on a regular basis with various thoughts and text analysis. Again, thanks to our expert blogger Julia for creating this blog for our group. Bravo!

Well I am currently in my second year of my primary and middle school teaching degree, which I am enjoying every bit so far! Besides the readings…. Anyway, while I was growing up, I didn’t always want to be a teacher but like most kids, it changed from being a pilot, superman, astronaut, doctor, superhero etc. While I was in my final years of high school I decided I wanted to become a teacher, but of course, me being extremely lazy in year 12, I didn’t get a high enough TER score to get into teaching and UniSA. This was when I decided to go with my back up choice, which was completing a Diploma in Multimedia. I had always enjoyed 3D animation and 3D modelling, and thought it was something I would enjoy doing as a career. Again, this changed when it came to the end of my year and started applying for jobs; it was extremely hard to get a job in this field, let alone in South Australia. So once I decided to put that to the side and transfer into Primary and Middle School Teaching with my Diploma in Multimedia. When receiving the letter of acceptance I was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to finish this degree and begin inspiring and pushing young children into perusing their goals!
