Fifteen Fun Facts about me… Shaileigh Page

1. I LOVE teaching and my purpose in life is to see kids learn and do all things with a spirit of excellent! They are tomorrow’s (and today’s) citizens!

2. I adore researching and publishing my research. I have interests in Christian Education, Web 2.0 tools, Actvity Theory, ICT and math!

3. I was at uni for far too long (3 degrees, 10 years in the making) but hey, I am a life-long learner. Learning is what makes me tick!

4. I love the beach, lakes and mountains!

5. I stopped drinking coffee very briefly….. and now I drink it again…. I love a strong coffee with almond milk.

6. Twitter is my life-line to other teachers who both inspire and challenge me! Facebook is a lifeline to family and friends, now that I have relocated to the U.S.A.

7. I find Skype a daunting yet a fun and effective tool to use in teaching and learning! One of my favourite people to Skype is Craig Badura!

12. Winter is my favourite season and December is my favourite month (hello ….. you can’t beat Christmas!)
