Youtuber, Auslan Teacher, pottering around learning about learning and language learning in Auslan. Am big fan of making my homeroom, my art gallery too. There are a tonne of talented signers linked in playlists.
I used Helperbird at my old school. For text reading, anyone else got a favourite they would like to suggest? Is free unless one needs pro features

If you don't know, you should know, that playlists be a game changer over on Youtube. Once I had introduced my students to playlists we were in a different race. Now they ask, did you put it in the "blah" or "x" playlist, as people use different ways of thinking to get to things. #languages #Auslan

Will write about my love of velcro on Linkedin but here are some of the products I use. Two different dart boards, one from IKEA and one online. They have different fans, who insist the one they use is better. The velcro dots, arrows and hearts, make our old carpet look great and good for games

Archiving on Youtube. Thumbnails mega important, so kids are not relying on English but visual acuity. Time saver and after all we are here learning Auslan, not painfully plodding through the written word. Been a game changer.

Wrote about this over on Linkedin, but this has been the best in terms of preparing kids for prepositions in Auslan, AND the knowledge staying in their heads.

Using things in the room to show far away and to compare two objects. The colourful poster and the darts board were popular and they do look good

We are doing our bit for 67 (word of year by dictionary.com) and it is going signed into school end of year magazine. It has made teaching 6 and 7 so much easier, so I am grateful

@carlhendrick.substack.com has just posted about retrieval practice over on Linkedin . Creating explicit learning of spelling for my puzzle series but adding in the novelty of ages that are only squares 25, 36 and 49 is very much about retrieval practice, I have yet to do the signing, soonish

And if you have an eye for design, look at the shading of the whiteboard magnets, it is subtle but such an effect. Much more pleasing to the eye
