Why were they important? en-us 2022-03-09 15:23:18 UTC 2025-09-28 20:28:07 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2086363133 When I was 6 we moved from Belgium to Antigua and I didn't speak any English so was bullied everyday. If Mrs Lewis hadn't let me colour next to her at lunchtimes, I wouldn't have survived (and I'm still artistic).

Professor Hein taught me History and he was completely mad. He would stand on desk tops to orate speeches and make them come alive.  One day he even rode a Unicycle into class! He was also exactly the kind of teacher I wanted to be when I grew up - and I still love learning history to this day!

When I did my MA I decided to audit Juup's class on the psychology of language learning as it looked sort of interesting, but I didn't expect it to be my focus. As good as all my classes were here at UoM - however, this class that I did without credit - had the most phenomenal impact on my understanding of education, games/gamification and in general my career going forward! ]]> 2022-03-09 15:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2086363133 rachelwillder1 https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2087883352 I had two favourite teachers, my history teacher and my english teacher, they encouraged a love of learning, was always enthusiastic about what they were teaching and had a passion for what they taught ]]> 2022-03-10 08:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2087883352 https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097883511 They were simply amazing!]]> 2022-03-16 12:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097883511 studyoutside https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097883905 Mrs McGregor - first ever primary teacher - brought her dog in at least once a week - winner.

We only had him for one term but he made me believe that I could achieve something by building my self esteem. He's the reason I do what I do now.]]> 2022-03-16 12:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097885994 mzysshba https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097886168 My Geography teacher was awesome at school. he was so passionate and caring, even without any technologies used that time back in 80s]]> 2022-03-16 12:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097886168 https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097891723 By the end of 2 years he could recognise the look on my face before I even started staying "I was just wondering..."! He made me feel safe and confident to always be curious about biology. ]]> 2022-03-16 12:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mewxjksb/voppz68u33zbi761/wish/2097891723
