Thinking of all the Victorian educators in remote learning. @AdobeSpark was my favourite tool for sharing short videos to stay connected with my Year 2 class.
Excited to be part of the #MIEExpert team again. Loved the opportunities for networking, training development that the #MicrosoftEDU team brought last year. Looking forward to what this new year will bring! 🤓
Here we go again! Day 1 of #onlinelearning for #aussieED in SEQ. I'm experimenting with @CanvaEdu for my daily check in videos with my Year 2's. Love the graphics, templates and editing features. Mostly I love that it's a free program for all educators 😍 #MIeexpert#edtech
Caught a sneaky little selfie at the end of today's Microsoft APAC Virtual Teacher Academy. I loved using the crafting table for the first time today to make a red balloon 🎈 Can't wait to use this #MinecraftEdu feature with my Year 2 students 🤓
My Year 2's love this song😎 the perfect song for decoding multisyllabic words with prefixes and suffixes

Getting ready to introduce my Year 2's to brand new shared school devices next week. I like to set my students up for success with easy expectations to follow. What do other tech teachers use with lower primary years? #edTECH#aussieED#MicrosoftEDU
After embarking on the #MinecraftEdu#BiodiversityExtinctionSafari 2S researched an animal and built their own models. The Book and Quill feature was a hit for publishing information. The Komodo Dragon🦎Sloth 🦥 and Grey Wolf 🐺 were class favourites #aussieED#MicrosoftEDU
A6: Role models!! In addition to this, curriculum objectives and units that don’t exclude them from the outset, seeing them immediately pass on the subject as an elective.

"Currently, only 24% of jobs in the digital economy are held by women."
Could more female role models in tech subjects and tech leadership positions in schools influence this?
Join @ZeinaChalich and I for #aussieED this Sunday to discuss further!

I am so impressed with the creations my Year 2 class have made on #flipgrid. On only their third attempt with this app, they worked in small groups to create a visual story of how to tell quarter to and quarter past times. #aussieED#MIEExpert
Integrating English, Art and Science for #collage in the style of #EricCarle. We've spent this term investigating #forcesinmotion while we painted with rolling marbles, used crayon texture rubbing, and scrape painted with corrugated cardboard.
Marble Run, boomerangs and Mobilo have been the perfect toys to introduce #forcesinmotion as my class prepare to design their own toys that will use #pushandpullforces
This year is going to be so much fun! Looking forward to the new ideas, experiences and opportunities that I can bring to teaching Year 2 now that I've been selected as an MIE Expert for 2020-2021 #MicrosoftEdu#MIEExpert
Pursuing #forcesinmotion with oil pastel rubbings. My class is looking forward to creating a #collage in the style of #EricCarle with all these different textures.
