Its all about me!!!!!

Hello to those to whom I have the pleasure in entertaining,which is prob just myself. That propably didn't read as well as it should have. Well I have decided to keep my blog, despite what anyone thinks as this is my personal journey that I took on and will continue to take. Feel free to join if you dare and share your journey. I am am going to continue this journey as a diary for my thoughts and experiences and as an extra resource folder. I will however warn anybody that chooses to join me on this journey into the now somewhat known, that I will not be quoting anybody but myself(unless it is reaaly interesting information that needs to be protected by the copyright laws. I might also make mention that this will be written in a personal context and may at some, ok prob most times be with a witty touch and sometimes incomprehensive as my mind knows what it means however it doesn't always know how to say it. This may have something to do with verbal dyspraxia.Hey maybe I should link that, because I know how and all.Anyway, so my thought today is about diversity of learners. We as teachers are meant to know our students and how external influences shape their learning within the classroom.However, has anybody ever thought about finding out the birth order in which the child was born and the impact this has on the individual's learning styles. There is a lot of research that suggests all families consistant of children are influenced by the placement for which they are born or the"pecking" order taht he/she arrived.Think about the following;middle child syndrome, eldest child syndrome, youngest of the family syndrome, single child syndrome.I guess this is part of the enrolment information that is sourced, but is it ever utilised in a manner that we can put together yet another small piece of the puzzle of each individual. Would love to know your thoughts, and what order you are in your own family.
P.S. I am the baby of the family. I always felt hard done by yet my siblings, I am sure will agree that "I got away with murder".
