Dear Linzi, I hope(!!!!!) you got the wink of an eye when I said you “killed” the blog! Did you? If not I will change the text and make a public apology. Seriously! And I hope you had a great weekend! But again, let me know if I better change something. I never want to hurt anyone actually 😉

Hi Dirk,

Just noticed that I was tagged on your blog and what can I say…..”I’m sorry for ‘killing’ the Tweet conversation”….It was late Friday night and I was finally making a contribution. I feel I was late to join the party and unfortunately everyone had left to enjoy the weekend. lol

Dirks Blog post made me think that I did rather well in The Tweetorial however he was referring to the archive which seems to report a different perspective and assumes I ‘killed’ the conversation by stopping it dead and not ace’ing it.

Dear Linzi,
Thank you so much for your comment! Maybe it takes people like you (and me) working with and having children to truly understand the troubles we have and cause as a society with identity. Thank you for having understood 🙂

Hi Dirk,

I really appreciate this post and it’s a subject that has come up frequently. The use of ‘identity’ and our perception of ‘identity’ is important. I talk about this with my pupils all the time particularly in the ‘performing arts’. Pupils are so uncomfortable within themselves that they prefer to hide behind a ‘character’ and media platforms. They change their behaviour in certain situations which then affects their social skills and can cause confusion. I understand behaviour different to identity but it is all connected. In Scotland the education system is structured around 4 capacities to enable young people to be successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors. As a teacher I believe it is important to inform young people that it is ok to be who they are and to embrace their ‘identity’. In a world where teaching at times can be seen as a ‘performance’ I makes sure that I am true to myself and enable a connection to happen rather than keep pupils in the dark or at a distance.
