Everyone has an opinion; Diversity backlash; What are they reading at school? Why does it matter? It’s not what they read, it’s how they read. buff.ly/3JnFCpM #edchat #reading #literature
Check out these activities to reconnect with #students before and after a break. One of my favourites is the BINGO Board (Classroom Scavenger Hunt) which I have used with students from Year 7 to first year university. buff.ly/3WUScRt @AVIDAustralia @AVID4College #edchat

It's been another jam-packed day of learning, sharing, growing and networking here at Summer Institute. There's an incredible energy within each Community of Practice, with educators from across Australia collaborating as they explore high engagement teaching strategies.

With increased access to & pervasiveness of misinformation: false information regardless of intent to mislead & disinformation: false information with the intent to mislead, identifying bias is critical. buff.ly/3GzyPrQ #edchat @AVIDAustralia
“Bullying is not just kids being thoughtless or a bit mean. It is not a single act. Bullying is a repeated act of aggression that is intended to cause harm.”

My take on the latest Covid #. Despite disincentives to report +ve RATs, cases up 31%. National Reff 1.17. Hospitalisations up 19%. Deaths up 24%. Don't be fooled by comparisons with Singapore. 3rd dose boosters 78% compared to 56% in Aust. Mask compliance in Sing 90%, Aust 5%.

Short 🧵In the bundle of things we can do to help manage the coming COVID challenges, being fully vaccinated in really the most important. Then testing, isolating, masking, living an outdoors life & getting treated early if eligible. And you can only get treatment if you test!

I believe that the majority of Australians are actually in favour of sensible precautions against #COVID. But we are being drowned out by vested interests and a noisy ideologically motivated minority. Sign up now and tell @AlboMP we demand better: australiansagainstcovid.weeb…

Sleepwalking into COVID is not a strategy I would recommend. Still much remains uncertain. science.org/content/article/…

"AHPPC, which advises the national cabinet on COVID-19, said it was reasonable for community sentiment to be considered when weighing up changes to isolation rules." Great. Let's ask if we should scrap road rules, seeing as the national road toll much less than COVID death toll.
With Victoria leaving door open to scrapping isolation rule at national cabinet, Burnet Institute director Brendan Crabb said the idea that allowing more people to be infected with COVID-19 was “good for business” needed to be challenged. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

We all remember how awful last summer was; the summer of Omicron.
If a new COVID variant emerges from this year’s northern winter-as experts say is likely-we don’t have the right plans in place to manage it.
That’s why I’ve called for a National Summit on COVID 19: – at Melbourne, Victoria
