Welcome to dis ting!

Dis ting is pidgin English for, well, 'this thing' but is used to replace words or phrases , just like 'thingamajig' or a 'whatchamacallit'. It comes in very handy in conversation, trust me.

So with 'dis ting', I've decided to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, and actually become the dreaded 'b' word, a blogger. I will focus on my teaching and learning. I teach Grade 4 at Lincoln Community School in Accra, Ghana. Everyday I learn with my kids in class but this year I am also learning Bahasa Indonesian as I get ready to move to Indonesia at JIS in July. I am also learning about using iPads in teaching and learning in the Elementary School.

I'm blogging to keep a personal reflection for myself, to share my teaching experiences and resources and, by being a blogger, helping my students become bloggers too!
