NZ primary school teacher, currently working in the UAE in a 1:1 iPad class. Keen to explore new and creative ideas to engage my students. Apple Teacher.
@MrDigiTechSabe I’ll be interested to see what the test looks like and whether they take a standardized one. Won’t you implement it as a Victorian school?
From next year, every grade one student in Victoria's state school system will have their reading ability tested through a new phonics screening check.
@latrobe professor @PamelaSnow2 explains why it's so important to identify reading difficulties early for children. #9News
Progress isn’t always about getting better. Sometimes it’s about bouncing back.
Success is not only the peaks you reach—it’s the valleys you conquer. Every experience of enduring adversity and overcoming obstacles is a meaningful accomplishment.
Resilience is a form of growth.
Creativity begins to die when we fail to celebrate curiosity.
We reward students for getting the right answer, but not for asking good questions. We promote managers for delivering results, but not for developing new ideas.
Encouraging imagination is the mother of invention.
Perfection isn’t just impossible. It’s a counterproductive goal.
Perfectionists are more likely to burn out and less likely to embrace new challenges.
Success depends on high standards, not being flawless. The target is not perfection—it's excellence.

Admin, it takes everyone on the team to win a championship. Teachers, bus drivers, custodians, cafeteria workers, staff, para's, & subs! Students and parents! It is the WHOLE TEAM that creates a winning culture & when any are neglected, it affects whole team. Celebrate everyone!
The only time I enjoyed school was when I enjoyed the teacher. Even if I hated the subject, the teacher made it worthwhile. In education, relationships matter most.
Matariki is fast approaching.
Last year, students engaging in Matariki, loved making their own picture books. Celebrating the Māori New Year and engaging in the true meaning of collaboration. This was such a powerful way for our tamariki to learn. @AppleEdu@takpschool#ADE2019
Did you know you can collaborate using whiteboard in Zoom. This is a fantastic way to teach math groups and more.
This is from an iPad and a Laptop!

How did I not know that you could combine PDFs in Preview?! Drag and drop?! SO SO SIMPLE. I can’t believe I’ve been opening extra software all this time! 🤯 Is this news to anyone else? Share with someone else who needs to know! #AppleEDUchat@RISDiTeam
@MrDigiTechSabe I told me kids to reread the post first, then actually try to problem solve, then message their friends using one of our platform as was also struggling with this.
