I've recorded the weather here for 50yrs; fought bushfires; have researched weather records for my land since 1854 & the climate history for 120,000 years. Anyone who had walked this land and watched it knows the climate has changed. ' A future crisis' has become 'today'.

Reading quietly to yourself is great but have you ever tried hearing an entire room of fourth graders react to a shocking development in a read aloud?

Admin, as the year continues,it’s not just students who need Maslow. Teachers need: 1) feel safe / supported 2) emotional connection/ relationship 3) respected 4) attention/ appreciation 5) value within the team 6) Volition/ sense of autonomy 7) innovation/ creativity

Showed students how public Instagram accounts could be searched on Google, photos could be viewed without an account and information could be obtained using visual clues and a basic knowledge of coding via the inspect tool. More powerful than simply saying “protect your privacy”.

I presented on how awesome @Seesaw is to a group of pre-service teachers on Thursday. Here's a look at what I shared... If you haven't explored with Seesaw yet, it is well worth having a look! drive.google.com/file/d/1moY…

My principal- I was hoping that you would demonstrate to your student teacher how valuable acting professionally at school can be. Me sitting cross legged on my desk next to my student teacher- Big words coming from someone standing in lava.
