RE: Hello Steemit! My name's Eddie (a.k.a. the Magic Monk), I am a Youtuber and a high school teacher! Let the writing begin!
Hi Edward, fellow Brisbanite here, :) there are not that many of us about so its nice to bump into you on steemit. I'm also involved in education. I lecture in Humanities and Languages at an international college in Bangkok. My question for you is, do you have any ideas/plans to integrate steemit into your lessons/classroom. I'd love to find a way to make this platform a useful educational tool. cheers and have a great day.
hi bkkshadow. Yes that would be a great idea and I'll definitely think about it. As always there are lots of policies involved when we try to get students registered on websites so it's definitely not just up to me but once I have a play with this and understand it better it's definitely something worth looking into. How long have you been in Bangkok? Your picture of Bangkok looks amazing!
I've been here a little over a decade now. Marrried and have my own place, so for me its really home now. However, I'm heading back to Brisbane/Sunny Coast to see family and friends next month, and am really looking forward to it. Regarding education, I've been experimenting with using Facebook groups as a shared learning environment with some of my classes and have had some positive results. As such I am currently writing a framework for acceptable usage of it within our university environment. It may be a little more problematic to do at high school level, but it has possibilities. Anyway, nice to make contact, What part of Brissy do you live?
hey bkkshadow :) I'd like to converse with you privately if possible? how do you do that through this? :)
I honestly have no idea
