"With games, they will try and try and try. They will stay with it long enough to figure it out. It's amazing." Read how science & CS teacher Tammie Schrader uses #MinecraftEdu to liven up science lessons in THE Journal: thejournal.com/articles/2018/…

A great book I used when teaching Year 2 on my second year practicum. The students loved it. #acuedu_p

Creating the Digital Portfolio for EDFD452 was a great assessment and allowed me to reflect on my own teaching philosophy, practices and experiences on placement. #acuedu_p

"Don't stress, do you best, forget the rest" words I will be repeating to myself during exams #acuedu_p

Today's EDFD Tutorial focused on communication with parents. I strongly believe this is an important aspect for beginning teachers. #ACUedu_p
