I did shape bingo as a warm up activity in my maths lesson yesterday. Instead of calling out shapes, I gave the students clues and they had to identify the shape! They loved it and had so much fun identifying the correct shapes #teachstarter #ACUedu_p

Absolutely love the eye-catching displays in the library at my prac school. Such an inviting learning environment for the students #acuedu_p

My prac class is currently exploring point of view- I wanted to find an engaging short film to help explore multiple perspectives. Found some really great options from Pixar: https://t.co/VUZ3jMtb80

Cool idea for a classroom display and for student independent learning #acuedu_p

So excited to start implementing my rewards system at prac this week as a behavioural management strategy #ACUedu_p #teacherspayteachers

This coming week is a source of stress for many of the students in my practicum class due to NAPLAN. It has been great to see members of the school community supporting these students and reminding them that they are worth so much more than just their exam results #acuedu_p

Yesterday at prac I was introduced to this picture book! I would love to use this story in the classroom to support creativity and imagination, encouraging students to value their ideas and believe in themselves #acuedu_p

@efox_ACU and I created our own virtual classroom during EDFD462 suitable for a stage 1 class. Can't wait to do this with my future classroom

Found today's EDFD462 tutorial very helpful - lots of great info and tips on setting up future classrooms! #acuedu_p

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

So simple but so important! Remember to give students time to think #acuedu_p https://t.co/zdFh9HT3lD

After asking a question in your class, how long do you pause for students to answer? Appreciating the benefits of think time... https://t.co/KjJl3xje3X

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

Agreed! Both super important topics I would love to learn more about https://t.co/09CIti9eAZ

[Jasmine Fishburn @Jasmine_ACU]

In EDFD462, I would like to learn more about setting up my classroom, and effective strategies for managing challenging behaviours. #acuedu_p

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

I would love to learn about how to prepare for future interviews and how to set up a classroom #acuedu_p

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

The most significant thing I have discovered in my Transition to the Profession unit is: what the next steps are for me in my journey as an educator! I value the opportunity to learn more about the various pathways and options available to me #acuedu_p

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

Really appreciated the opportunity to hear from two beginning teachers this morning! Very inspiring to hear not only about the good experiences but also the challenges they've faced and overcome #acuedu_p

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

Went on an excursion to the Opera House for prac this week! Started by sharing a Social Story w/ the students: explaining the itinerary, expected behaviours & answering their questions about the day! My first time seeing this strategy in action but I would recommend! #ACUedu_p

[taylaloxton_acu @TaylaLoxton]

I always struggle to provide feedback that is insightful and can extend students learning. This link has helpful strategies to provide constructive feedback to students #ACUedu_p https://t.co/CKnC8BwFeP

[Dimitria Bozinovski @d_balasas]

Great way to check student understanding #assessment 😁 #acuedu_p

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

Trying my best to learn & remember all the names of students in my class. I've found using paddle pop sticks with names written on them to be a really helpful strategy not only to build up my memory but also to promote opportunities for student participation in class! #acuedu_p

[Erica Fox @efox_AU]

Thankful for the strong online community here especially in regards to support for professional learning and creative thinking #acuedu_p
