@QldPolice Have seen so many unregistered motorcycles on the road lately, many riders without helmets. The last one was last week less than 500 metres from Browns Stains police station.

@QldPolice struck or stuck?! So sad either way.

@pasi_sahlberg - we need to include languages in this conversation about broadening student learning beyond literacy and numeracy for global competence! Finland does this so well. #DEi2024

@hamishcurry Find safe ways of connecting students on tech platforms so that they can collaborate online ... only problem is equity issues with access to devices and internet.

How very sad for the people of Tasmania that the potential pipeline of languages teachers and opportunities for students to pursue their languages learning into university will now need to come from/happen on mainland Australia. https://t.co/IhINBhC5mU via @dailytelegraph

Good question!

[Andy Hargreaves @HargreavesBC]

Wales abolishes all high school exams for 2021. The mounting question everywhere now is do we really need exams any more at all? https://t.co/rkhZczyJ2l @steve_munby @GHCDon @dylanwiliam @pasi_sahlberg

Looks like a lot of learning and fun! @RebeccaGlynn3

Today our Y5 and 6 Ss are pitching their solution to an issue identified through the @GlobalGoalsUN at our trade show. 6 teams were selected to pitch to the sharks.
They are brave, innovative and truly inspirational. @NewPedagogies

Excellent point @gregwhitby

[Greg Whitby AM. KSG. @gregwhitby]

5,500 tutors? Rather than recruit people who don't know the students, and may never have worked in a school, how about we put the $337m to help those who do? This could make such a difference for vulnerable learners. https://t.co/UgIqImlKI4 #nswpol
