Very interesting and certainly worth a read given the ever increasing prevalence of smart phones being used by kids

Digital distractions are taking a toll, hijacking kids’ ability to engage their working memory on difficult texts and problems. That kind of laser-like focus is rapidly disappearing from our lives... https://t.co/ZxSii5Nj2b

@Rainmaker1973 Love a good bottle rocket

No power for the second night in a row seems like the perfect time to make a start on this…

@BronRyrieJones @VicGovDE These look great. Will they be recorded? If so, how long until the recording is released?

@GrattanInst @hunter_jordana @Amy_L_Haywood @NickJParkinson I have enjoyed working my way through this great resource

[Rodney McK @kindeco]

@EamonGCharles @jdtdobson @PamelaSnow2 @buckingham_j This sounds interesting. The question has certainly been on my mind for a while, especially given our context.

@KyrstieStubbs @adam_voigt We’ve moved away from traditional end of semester reports but it’s still a requirement of our system to provide a written personalised comment. Things haven’t changed much over the last 100 years with report comments despite most other thing’s evolving significantly.

@TroyPrimaryEd Unfortunately there are many schools who don’t teach using effective methods and I agree it is very hard to catch them up despite our best efforts. Many of our lowest performers on Year 3 NAPLAN have not been with us since Prep.

You can’t intervene your way out of a Tier 1 problem.

@NetballAust @netballvic whoever is responsible for Net Set Go needs to do some work on the registration process as it’s horrendous!!

[Rodney McK @kindeco]

@StephLeLievre_ thanks for sharing your wonderful presentation on the Syntax Project. Could you tell me more about TWR work/book study you did with staff? Thank you

[Rodney McK @kindeco]

The new gym is a wonderful addition to our school. At last weeks @VicSchoolBuild awards it won best school project between $5-10 million. Congratulations to @Project12Architecture for designing such an amazing facility. @BassCoastNews #architecture @cowesps

Loving the Sold a Story podcast and it’s insights about the business, history and politics of reading. It’s hard to fathom that there are still schools locally investing thousands 💰💰💰 in F&P. #soldastory
