We learned today via @FediTips that all of the Guppe groups are offline indefinitely. (More information at the link.) Our fingers are crossed for positive developments.

This means that at least for the moment the education community will no longer be able to reach subscribers in related groups.

But! There's also a possible alternative. More info below. 1/n

What’s the most underrated tech in your classroom?

For me, it’s UbiTimer — a lightweight PowerPoint add-in that puts a countdown or stopwatch right on your slides. No need to juggle windows or external apps.

Keeps students focused and lessons on pace 👩‍🏫⏳

Hold on kids, Mrs R-- needs to have a rant about an article in The West...

... I believe they never should have abolished the Dip Ed in the first place. Reinstating it won't fix the teacher shortage, but it's a start.

The GradDipEd was a baptism of fire and the workload of cramming all your teaching study into a single postgrad year (while working your uni job) matched the workload you faced as a beginning teacher.

It was adequate preparation. The fact that I'm still in teaching, almost 20 years later, attests to this. And I'm offended by the implications in this article. If I'm good enough for one of Western Australia's most desirable public schools on a Dip Ed, there's surely nothing wrong with my training!

Teachers: Who's got marking this weekend?

My bag was literally heavy enough to set off the child-not-wearing-seatbelt warning on the way home this afternoon!
