So impressed with my Year 8 Science class… period 5 on the last day of academic classes for the school year and they were busy creating stop animation movies for next year’s Y8 science students.

Just got back from five fabulous days in Shanghai for the Learning2 Asia conference.
Teachers talking teaching - nothing is better than teachers sharing their ideas that they are using in their classrooms
If you get the opportunity to go next year - go! Brilliant
