Tip of the Iceberg » creative commons http://kerileebeasley.com Trying to get beyond the tip of the technology iceberg Mon, 19 Mar 2012 00:18:58 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Learner Profile Certificates http://kerileebeasley.com/2011/09/14/learner-profile-certificates/ http://kerileebeasley.com/2011/09/14/learner-profile-certificates/#comments Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:13:01 +0000 klbeasley http://kerileebeasley.com/?p=1214 I know Learner Profile Certificates aren’t the be-all and end-all of the PYP, however if your school is anything like my school, teachers like them anyway. And let’s face it – so do kids.

A teacher on staff made some gorgeous certificates, however they were all with copyright images, so Louise & I made up some using Creative Commons images which you are welcome to use/share.

When I began teaching, I wanted to keep my good work to myself – I wanted that fun learning experience to be something I gave the kids in my classroom. In truth, I probably wanted recognition for my work (hey, I was only 22!).

Now, 10 years on, I believe the measure of a good teacher is how much they share. I know that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I don’t want to hold on to my best ideas/lessons/websites/activities/flipcharts etc etc – I want to share them so that more students and teachers can learn with them, build on them and improve them.

I am a great believer in collaboration, and know that the quality of work I produce with others, and the ideas and suggestions I gain from others, far exceeds the work I am capable of producing on my own.

Pass it on…
