@negsclass @jaynajones724 2/2 To examples as extreme as students sobbing uncontrollably in class because a parent texted them that a close family member/friend has died. When I have to switch gear to pick up those pieces, or teach phone responsibility to 1 kid, I’m not helping 25+ other students’ learning

@negsclass @jaynajones724 1/2 I won’t go into depth on why it’s a big deal. But two examples (that I’ve experienced multiple times) range from as non-urgent as parents interrupting learning to discuss their child going to a sleepover (sometimes not even that as soon as that night)

@ThwaitesKate The fact that you literally just uttered the phrase “the feeling that people’s voices are not being heard” would make this ironically amusing if this wasn’t so infuriating. Glad you called him out on his lack of basic courtesy

@renee_west According to the ACT (where I am) and NSW Codes of Conduct/Professional Practice any material that we as employees of the Department of Education is unfortunately their IP p.30

@Poska I think it’s a valid statement. While we haven’t seen an event like this in recent history that doesn’t detract from your observation or the need for greater prof. dev. to upskill teachers. Any number of events, great or small, as you said could “further highlight” this need

I was at work for 11 hours & 42 minutes yesterday.

Lucky I only work 9-3 & get lots of holidays.

#Onthisday in 1944: Mass breakout of Japanese prisoners at Cowra prisoner-of-war camp, NSW. This bugle was used by one of the leaders of the escape attempt, Toyoshima Hajime, to signal the start of the breakout. Read more about the events that unfolded: https://t.co/VGdNvBe89g

@Jessie__Kate This ties in with what we were discussing last week around interpretations and perspectives of History. Could be good to fill that gap https://t.co/rc7xmJNEes

#ACTATE @Prue_G @Jennifer_Nott Photo essays for film studies? Annotating scenes and shots etc.

@Prue_G @historychappy The lengthy sequence of events was the tricky part with this topic, which this deals with well

@Prue_G @Ed_Cuthbertson @mrskmozza Hadn't occurred to me to use it as a graph at the same time! Black Death population?

@Prue_G @Ed_Cuthbertson @juliecollinsACT @Jessie__Kate @alfiekohn Interesting Abstract. Will have to find time to read the rest
