Welcome

Hi my name is Linda Cahill and I have created the blog Apples for Educators in order to discuss ALL matter of things relating to ICTs and pedagogy. From my very early childhood when I would sit in front of my teddies and tell them a story, through to my teenage years when you could always be guaranteed to find me with my head in a book, I have always known that I have wanted to teach. With a love of literacy and a passion for teaching children how to read, in 2010 I set about realising my dream of becoming a teacher by enrolling in a Bachelor of Education course through the University of Southern Queensland and in 2011, commenced working with struggling readers at a local school. I continued to do this and also work in the classroom as a teacher aide until the end of 2012 and in 2013 I was offered the opportunity to work in the school library. I can honestly say that teaching is my calling as I enjoy just about every minute of my job which allows me to inspire students love for learning in a environment which nurtures each child's spirit. I hope you enjoy reading about my personal learning journey!
