Should have done this first! - Mini Bio

Should have done this before the first post really aahhh well.



My name is James Stoner and I'm currently studying at the University of Plymouth on the BEd Primary Teaching course with ICT as my specialism.

Currently in my second year and i have to say its been a blast, very tiring so far but also very satisfying.

I still find it strange that I do not have an ICT qualification higher than a C at GCSE and yet here i am on an ICT specialism?! My ICT background lies in video editing, special FX, storyboarding, music and video correction (sound, music and video colour etc) which tied in with my Media A level and BTEC Video Production course of which is usually a 2 year course but was put forward to complete it in just under 1 academic year, it was definitely a struggle to say the least!

So where do i stand with teaching?
As a child do you remember that one teacher who stood out from the rest (for all the right reasons!)? Were they kind or funny? Clever or cool?

I want to become the teacher that the children not only look up to and turn to when they need you but I want to be able to have that lasting effect as that one teacher who isn't necessarily the best teacher but one who is there for the children 110%.

True dedication is to aim for the finish line and then do a whole marathon more! I want the children, parents and colleagues to see how much passion i can give to teaching once i get off the start line

Be the best and dare to do better...
