Adding a new swing bar to our election results page - for the first time, we'll be showing the primary swing to and away from major parties vs minor parties and independents. Here's how it looks using 2022 results for testing - should be an interesting one to watch tonight! #AusPol #AustraliaVotes

An infographic showing three key practices of effective mathematics teaching: purposeful planning, developing mathematical proficiency, and adapting to and supporting all learners. It finishes with 'No single pedagogical approach can meet the needs of every mathematics learner'.

Today the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers published their position paper on 'Pedagogy in Mathematics'.

Thanks to #AAMT for being a reasoned and balanced voice in maths education. Proud to play a role in bringing this to life.

"compass alignment" meme with familiarity and enthusiasm as axes.

The intake survey for my Fourier analysis students asks them to plot their familiarity with the complex exponential function on these axes.

Naarm Melb folks - if it's too hot to stay home check with your local Council. I see on Facebook Moonee Valley are opening a couple of libraries which are usually closed on Sundays as cool spaces. Other Councils will be too. 🥵

🗓️Here’s a recap of my 2024 year in review and my thoughts about the future

Raina MacIntyre @Globalbiosec Was in hospital just b4 Xmas for 10 days. Wore mask. No staff masked, despite rising covid in Sydney. One day I saw staff were suddenly masked..asked why. Was told there was covid on ward. No other patients told or protected. I had masked from day 1 and used antiviral nasal sprays, and got out without infection. The day I was discharged, the outbreak was spreading, and finally they began testing all patients. Shocking lack of rights for patients. No right to safe healthcare, because covid is ignored as a preventable nosocomial infection. Going to hospital has become a gamble on personal safety.

Patients are not second class citizens and are objectively at more risk than staff statistically speaking .

This is not okay.

I saw the signs, and it opened up my eyes.

Looking ahead to the second half of the school year, there are definitely some students needing that "creative push" as writers—and this tool has been really helpful for me to pull from in those instances:

How punny (pun,not typo) it's a phrase mashup: merging Triple 0 and O.K.

a woman is asking if there is a method to this madness on netflix Alt: a woman is asking if there is a method to this madness on netflix

A touch of madness to your methodology then?

Classic shifting of the focus away from the institution having to address the problem environment in a meaningful way. Practically institutional gaslighting.

ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

Posting this again because a lot of people said they found it helpful! Guide to ALT text: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️
