I’ve made a pop-up card tutorial video demonstrating how to create a 3D Minecraft Zombie pop-up card 🧟‍♂️

Ordered a marker shelf which turned up today! 🥳

Purchased an additional camera (Sony Zv-e10ii) in white on the weekend to complement my a7s3 in order to start working on some top-down paper engineering videos. Hopefully the C stand and boom arrives this week and I can spend next weekend in earnest working on it.

On Thursday/Friday I visited Canberra to attend the annual HALT Summit for Highly Accomplished and Lead Teachers across Australia. I got to present and lead at 2 HALT Share Space discussions around catering to diversity and high potential in classrooms and how I achieved it! Great experience!!

I’ve been getting back into creating pop-up cards! Just bought a 72 set of Copic Ciao markers so I could create nice gradients and block colours, really loving the look of them.

I’ve been heads down on an app for NSW primary schools I’ve been tinkering with off and on over weekends and school holidays since late 2023. I’m hoping to have it ready for beta testing by the end of the upcoming school holidays! #AussieEd

My Highly Accomplished Teacher certificate of accreditation arrived in the mail!

I might be the last teacher to achieve all 37 indicators as the new HAT accreditation process reduces the indicators required to 20.

Glad I was able to achieve all 37 as I feel it should be the expectation for a HAT.

Time for some freshly made
LEGO radio tunes! 📻🎵

It’s simple but I’ve recently started getting back into drawing and animation. This little practice started as just a bouncing ball but I decided to add a little tail to it. In the next version I’m going to try giving the bounce a sense of intentionality.

This week I had the opportunity to lead our school staff in analysing the National Literacy Learning Progressions, with a focus on Creating Texts.

Staff appreciated the clarity I was able to provide around how to analyse a written text for understanding student needs.

I’ve just started building my own educational website in Sveltekit!
