Mrs priestley ICT - my story

10/31/2019

With lots of new followers and subscribers, I thought I should re-introduce myself again and share my story. 
Hello! My name is Jordan. I currently live in Taumarunui, New Zealand; originally from Auckland. I have a husband - Curtis, one daughter - Arabella; and a puppy named Fudge.
Some of my favourites:
the colour pink, burgers, watching movies, teaching, going shopping and glitter earrings.

How did this start?

I graduated university in 2011 with a Bachelor of Education in primary. I then went on to study a Postgraduate Diploma in Education whilst I was unable to secure a job. Once I had finished my Postrgrad I began teaching at my first school - Jean Batten School in Mangere. Since that time, I have worked at Rowandale School in Manurewa, Willowbank School in Botany and now Ngakonui Valley School in Taumarunui. I have been teaching for seven years now and love it!
Along those years I have also studied multiple degrees and certificates - currently working on my Masters of Contemporary Education.

I have always been interested in digital technology - digital learning, apps, software, hardware, courses and more. I first started out a few years ago making my own resources. A few things here and there for my classroom that I was talked into selling on Teachers Pay Teachers. I had a side blog that I was posting things on also and soon had a few followers wanting more of my resources! I shared what I could on my blog, twitter page and teachers pay teachers store but ultimately saw the potential for it to grow bigger. 
Picture
That's when I thought of starting Mrs Priestley ICT. First in facebook page only, then branching out to this website that I have today. A place where I can share my ideas, resources, links, things I am trying, things I find and more. Where ICT, teaching and learning collide into one place. Obviously with any brand, a cost factor comes into it. But i do and share as much as I can for free to give back to teachers and help share the love. 

What does Mrs Priestley ICT have?

Picture
The website has a blog section - updated regularly through the week with posts, links, ideas, activities and more! These are all free to access and read through. 

Picture
On the blog section is also a link to Teacher Tech Videos. A place where you can go to watch short tutorial videos or snippets on help sections to do with Google, Seesaw or anything else linked. 

Picture
Alongside my website, I run a digital newsletter called What's 'App'-ening. A fortnightly snippet of ideas that can be used in your classroom straight away. It has four sections: a seesaw hotspot, twitter finds, what's the apps and let's get googley. This is free to subscribe to, and can get emailed to your inbox!

I sell many of my resources on my website and also on my Teachers Pay Teachers Store. These are a combination of free and paid resources that get emailed to you in pdf form (or google form) to download and use in your classroom. 
Access the resources on my website here. 
Access the Teachers Pay Teachers Store here.

I have started something new this year with online teaching courses you can follow to learn key skills and ideas around particular topics. I have two currently available to complete - each with a certificate and digital badge available upon completion. 
There is a new platform for this coming soon but for now you can sign up here! 

Picture
Shared Google Drive Resource Library
I have an online google drive resource library with loads of google templates you can use and access for your classroom. There are also a huge amount of PLD slides available to that you can use to guide your teaching sessions. 

Picture
On my website there is also a private section that is named VIP Access. It is password protected to website subscribers only with a whole lot more freebies that are no listed anywhere else! A great incentive to sign up to the website!

Picture
I also work alongside teachers, schools and COL's to provide PLD and 1:1 help if necessary. This is in the form of presenting, online meetings, 1:1 help sessions or just emailing back and forth. If you wanted some PLD on anything let me know. 

There are also two other side projects that I have going on alongside this! Crazy I know. But that's who and what I am! A crazy, determined, organised teacher who just loves what I do and more. 
Picture
Arabella's Adventures is a technology themes picture book series that helps teach key technology skills to junior students. The first of the series was released this year, around taking care of devices for students.

A side hobby I have is making glitter resin earrings! I love glitter and earrings so thought why not put that together and sell my own!
