Building a Knowledge Network. The question of ‘how would you establish a knowledge network and what would the purpose be? Rsquo; was one that myself and five other educators asked in early 2014 over dinner after a TeachMeet held at Google. We were all active users of Twitter who had connected individually yet we could see the need for an Australian community that would help to connect teachers from all sectors in a way that was relaxed and collegial. From this conversation, the #aussieED. The purpose of ...

CONASTA65 - What I loved, What I liked and What I wasn't a fan of! When I think of CONASTA65 in the future, I will admit that the first thing that will come to mind is STAIRS! CONASTA65 was held at an amazing private girls school in Brisbane that had more stairs than MSCW and that’s saying something! On Monday and Tuesday my FitBit told me that I had walked up at least 25 flights of stairs each day (and I am the first to admit that I did sneak up in the lift whenever I could! The rest of the afternoon wa...

I happened to be looking around the Twitterverse when I stumbled upon a tweet stating that you can now the Kahoot. As an app for iOS devices! This isn't the exact Tweet I saw, but this one is straight from the 'horse's mouth' so to speak! Of course, anything that comes from Kahoot I am interested in as I have loved this product since I was first introduced to it over 2 years ago. I automatically signed in to my iTunes. Account and downloaded the app to see what it was like. I will be getting my students ...

Practical Pedagogies - Take Away 1 - The Independent Variable
http://www.theindependentvariable.net/blog/practical-pedagogies-take-away-1
Practical Pedagogies - Take Away 1. I'm currently sitting in the airport in Paris waiting to board the first of two flights home to Sydney. I have decided that there will be a series of blog posts about what I took away from Practical Pedagogies because there is simply too much to put into one blog post! The second part of my first take away is that each teacher had their own room. This is something that I dream of in Australia. Each classroom had it's own style, with amazing displays that were c...

Real teaching, real learning. July 7, 2015. July 7, 2015. I’ve written before. About how scheduled chats are one of the most powerful “features” of Twitter. I write that with quotation marks because they are more a function of social self-organisation than they are of the Twitter system itself. But nonetheless, the inherently real-time nature of Twitter makes this kind of discussion at home on this platform more than any other. A few days ago I had the joy of co-hosting the Sunday night #aussieED. Is an ...

The idea is simple. Sign up to say that one class will spend one lesson outdoors on the day, however many schools do a lot more!
