We had a great time in 5/6 today, following @Markian_07's Design Thinking program. I gave a quick crash course on using MecaBricks (an awesome tech tool for Stage 3). The students were incredibly excited and couldn't wait to experiment with this digital resource #acuedu_p

Report writing
Definitely a challenge
I found that asking my peers for guidance has truely help clarify my concerns. #acuedu_p

Our language features wall coming along nicely for our unit on biographies! #acuedu_p

A great little idea for infants! I found this idea on a teaching page I follow on Instagram. Great way to engage students at the start of the day in the morning routine or even a brain break! #acuedu_p

[Tamara Dimech @tdimech99]

What a great idea! #acuedu_p

[Jacob Cittadino @jacobMrC]

Really enjoying my last professional experience before graduation! I have learnt so much about the daily lives and practices of primary teachers. I hope you are all having an enjoyable last professional experience! #acuedu_p

[Tamara Dimech @tdimech99]

Thank you to David for organising this evenings live zoom lecture with a school principal! It was very interesting to gain strategies for interviews, implementing critical thinking and just looking after your self as a teacher. #acuedu_p

Such a great first week on my last professional experience! Some take aways were: take the time needed to build positive relationships with your students, collaborate with your stage partners and implement all constructive feedback from your supervising teacher!#acuedu_p

Wishing all the final year ACU BEd(Prim) students starting their final professional experience EDFX444 on Monday all the best. I have every confidence that you will be successful and one step closer to your goal of becoming a fully qualified teacher #acuedu_p

So excited to start my last professional experience on a Stage Three class on Monday! Looking forward to bettering myself as a professional! #acuedu_p

Today's EDFD452 tutorial was extremely helpful in understanding the importance of our duty of care as teachers, how to distinguish the risks of certain lessons as well as how to plan and organise our teaching timetables. #ACUedu_p

A punctuation activity for the younger years, perfect for reading groups! I love being able to find different activities and teaching ideas on social media! #acu_p

I spent the past two weeks going through product training with new staff. I picked up on some mistakes I made with the first group, so with the second group, I used the GRR approach and the feedback was great. I love mixing my job and my studies #acuedu_p

Good morning! Here’s a little sustainable craft activity where we used recycled paper to make self portraits! Nice to see so much creativity shine through #acuedu_p

[Jacob Cittadino @jacobMrC]

Having a personal thesaurus is an excellent way for students to develop their vocabulary and understanding of synonyms. Definitely will give this a try! #acuedu_p

[Claudia Wahhab @claudiaawahhab]

Do you ever get stuck choosing students to read or answer questions? This is the perfect strategy in choosing students at random… and it’s a bonus if you don’t know all their names. Using this strategy also ensures all students are focused and on task! #acuedu_p

[Jacob Cittadino @jacobMrC]

I would love to have a deeper understanding of how to best prepare myself for parent teacher interviews in the future. For example, what types of data should I have ready? Does anyone use a template which guides the discussion with parents? #acuedu_p

[Jacob Cittadino @jacobMrC]

The most useful part of EDFD452 is its practical and relatable nature in my point of my degree and career. For example, I now have a deeper understanding of the teacher accreditation process. #acuedu_p
