#aussieED Archive
#aussieED was founded on the belief that all teachers, and students, should have unlimited access to Professional Development, on their own terms, to improve their teaching, their schools and change the lives of the students they encounter. Since then, we have embarked on a mission to reach educators, not only in Australia but, all around the globe. We want to smash the barriers that prevent teachers from easily connecting and learning with each other. To that end, we have developed a regular Ed-chat each Sunday on twitter at #aussieED. The chat allows all teachers, leaders, administrators and all those connected with education to meet on an unbiased platform and discuss the real issues that effect what happens in classrooms everywhere. Our chats are authentic because we are real teachers walking the same walk that so many do everyday.

the one about coherence & 'simplexity'?
A7 Change agent, coaching & a garbo! 😂
Thanks Was a wonderful hour again. Motivated for Monday and my Ss. Thanks
Nice great questions that really make you think about how important the job is just putting all my hats in my bag!
A7 : I was thinking the same thing .....I'd want to be a librarian / information scientist
: A7 Just about anything I wish to do, I think, besides brain surgery and space shuttle piloting. 😉
The team were in a STEM v STEAM discussion this afternoon
A7: I'd own a cafe in a heartbeat. Just don't want to worry about having to make money...or work too hard. Don't want a cafe...yet
thanks & - I did a lot more thinking than just rapid fire answering this week and I loved it! :)
Thanks Mr for our Valentine's twittchat
Thanks for a fun chat. Have a great week. Watch out for the 'nits' if you are sharing your hats! 😄
A7: Maybe a ninja. Or a superhero. It'd be something with multitasking for sure! :)
Thanks Rob! Cracking chat. Catch you all next week!
I'll tag you in when I post ... by latest I mean the latest I've read...lol...
I know all there songs as well from when the kids were little
I did my Masters through CSU distance ed. Can recommend it!
I became a tech coach this past July and i LOVE it. Best job ever!
Quote of the night! Where will you find this during the week? https://t.co/nODvJtgfwu
yes! Ss & Ts (people!) need some stillness, silence, solitude.
: Awesome chat as always. This may be one of my faves thus far. You guys kept me up yet again. Love it!
Thanks for the chat good way to consider goals for this year love engaging with other Ts & considering other POV
I always wanted to work at a nature reserve Might be a retirement job~i'd love to work in a quiet place for once!;)
no is an underused word. We need to use it to gain some time for us
US edu trip sounds like the perfect platform to start. Happy to Vox you encouragement!

A7: As a recent escapee, the skills I transferred to the office: planning, knowing my stuff, tech, patience, humour - essential.
I came in late so just observed. Loved the passion in this chat!
Haha ! Me too ... my family doesn't understand why i crave quiet ... they should visit my class :)
I couldn't pick up the thread regarding your tweet on A6, what do you mean by genius hour?
A great first chat for me. Thx and everyone at 'home'
Will do and likewise for me it is Half Term and a holiday!
if that doesn't go down well I'll eat it!
A7: Important to recognise and develop transferable skills
1/2 It's tricky - mainly you just need to pick a method that works for your school, labels don't matter.
Looking for any users out there to share some hints & tips for this newbie!!!
2/2 But I'm an VA teacher so I don't like to see The Arts as a whole sidelined because it's less serious
Artists and scientists have a long proud collaborative tradition. And a wealth of potential for teachers
Good luck with that US Edu trip
I think that happens some time on Friday doesn't it?
a7: We put so much effort into being teachers. I reckon I will stick with it. Plus it is really fun!
We're excited to connect w follow this account to hear how you too can join the conversation! https://t.co/PnWUIIuh88
: Definitely the ladies in the print room & the PTA. I "bribe" mine with treats regularly. 😁
Missed tonight as I took my wife out for dinner.
Will randomly answer questions to no-one now
I'm off to spend more time with my lovely wife. HVD everyone =)
Sure, but for my 2c people who are STEM-oriented tend to be creative thinkers. It's a different sort of creativity
Thanks, for a great start to my week. Have a great week!
Really hope you got something out of it Rachel.
Look what I just got in the mail!!
I can't wait to try it out with my students AND teachers!

Thnx Brett! Great to connect to my Aussie PLN
A2) An ex student came back to school to ask me advice about the contaract for a house he was buying
Oh how I love rodent eradicating
Real hard to come home after you've done the grief counselling thing
A3) Not sure people expect us to fill lots of roles. That would suggest they understood what teachers do
Oh. I lost the ferret too. It ran under the building.
A4) Friend hat, Police hat, clown hat, and any hat made of alpaca fleece (gratuitous plug here)
And sometimes we should because there are a lot of skills to learn there that no-one else will teach https://t.co/MbSxLaOKMu

A5) You just learn to do so. I don't think about the roles anymore, i just am a teacher
The best hat... is no hat.
Just be yourself.
