I started this blog in November 2011, primarily as a form of stress-relief and procrastination during to my final undergraduate exams. I had applied for a PGCE at Rhodes University and decided that I would chronicle the journey I would take as a student teacher in 2012.
These days, the blog serves as a look into what's going on in my professional life as an technology integrator.
Why "Teacher Squeaks"?
I changed my blog name from 'Hedgehog Squeaks' to 'Teacher Squeaks' to mark the occasion of being accepted into the PGCE course. I hope to comment on the course as honestly as possible, while remaining sane and keeping my sense of humour about the whole business. A blog is a medium to talk to the world and my contributions are probably best described as little indignant squeaks!
