With this being my first post, let me introduce my self!
I’m a teacher passionate about bringing in technology into the classroom to enhance learning. I strongly believe that in order to reach our Digital Natives, we need to speak their language. This blog will be about how this can be done.
In my journey in becoming an educator endorsing technology in the classroom, I’ve been fortunate to come across the amazing work that Microsoft Education does #MicrosoftEdu. That discovery has led me to amazing technology as well as amazing educator communities.
I became a active advocate in using Microsoft technologies in the classroom and beyond, and I’m just thrilled to bits that I’ve been recognized as a MIEExpert by Microsoft in August.
I’ve just learnt that I’m one of the finalists to be selected to represent Sri Lanka in the Microsoft Education Exchange (E2) Summit which is Microsoft in Education’s annual event recognizing and celebrating the achievements of educators who combine content, pedagogy, and technology in exemplary ways to prepare students for success. Wish me luck!!!
I’m also passionate about making sure my students achieve the best they can and just last week, my GSCE students received their results from Edexcel (Pearsons) with flying colours. More than half of my students obtained A* to A grades with one of my students receiving full marks making her the receiver of the world prize for my subject! This is the third consecutive year that one of my students received a world prize! Monkey praising it’s own tail, I know, BUT I’m one happy and proud teacher 
So all in all, it’s been an amazing August. Here’s to always learning!
