Note taking is an important skill for all students to learn. Here is an example of students taking notes on interesting facts they hear whilst watching a YouTube video on spiders. #ACUedu_p

During Covid and flu season this bad boy could be the only thing keeping a classroom up and running. #acu_p

During my time on placement in Special Ed, I found that the best lessons for children with disabilities is when they could touch or move something tangible. This lesson worked really well because he was able to move actual shapes. #acuedu_p

Love seeing what kids are striving for in 2022! It’s important to constantly refer back to these goals throughout the year and use them within feedback to keep students accountable. ACUedu_p

Cracking game for multiplication! Split class into three teams then relay race until the multiplication wheel is complete! I recommend using it as a finisher! #acuedu_p

In my placement class we have been targeting spelling words that our students often spell wrong. Every morning we have been referring to some of these spelling helper acronyms to help their writing. They find the oh you lucky duck for should and would the most helpful #acuedu_p

Neat little trick for teachers without wobble chairs! This allowed movement whilst staying at the desk and is surprisingly silent so wont distract the rest of the class! #acuedu_p

Co-creating anchor charts and brainstorms are effective tools to allow students to grasp and explain concepts in their own words. These can then be placed around the classroom as a point of reference for students in the future. #acuedu_p

A key to differentiate tasks is using multiple ways of displaying knowledge. Here is an example from my placement of students displaying their knowledge of spider life cycles using art #acuedu_p

Creating a classroom which is inclusive of indigenous culture Is so important for us as educators. Sometimes small things make a big difference such as having an acknowledgment of country.
Here is an example

Padlet is a great resource for facilitating group discussions during lessons. Here is an example I have used for a lesson on advertising https://t.co/DErn99lZ3i

Discovered this fun tool for classroom behaviour. It’s a special monster that watches the class work throughout the day. Then at the end of the day, the monster tells the teacher one students name who has been working hard! I’ve used this in Year 1 classrooms! #acuedu_p
