Some observations from the last week of term.

Language leads them astray.

Being away from an internet connection, I read about the outcomes of the 2020 Summit in the papers.

I previously talked about making some video tutorials for PowerPoint.

Term 3 (all 11 weeks of it) has begun…

A week or so ago, I attended a seminar for Maths teachers. The presenter frustrated me with his poor presentation skills, and so as not to become completely distracted, I wrote out a list of things to be mindful of when presenting.

It seems that every job/career I’ve been in, is a constant source of media attention.

There’s a state election coming up next week… yawn. Two equally beige colours to choose from. As the only candidate in my electorate that I’ve received any information from is Labor, I sent him an email.

University teacher training can only teach you so much, there are many aspects of being a teacher that university does not prepare you for.

Well, my first year of teaching is done…

When I was doing my teacher education course, I really didn’t enjoy the computing studies method (how to teach) subject. The main reason was the lecturer and his “teaching” style.

Despite starting a new career this year as a maths teacher, this blog has hardly mentioned it, partly because talking about my current employment is not really something I intended for this blog. The other reason, is that I haven’t really collected my thoughts about this change in career.
