Is that a signal to do it anyway? Like in the movie

I'm disappointed you needed to ask this; you're no Maverick

Each kid does show and tell about their holiday by teacher sneaks sips of vodka behind the desk in awe that kids are even more rude and undisciplined?

Ha ha nah, just starting all our topics. Starting literacy topic on Sadako and the thousand paper cranes...so will do a predicting lesson on that, then a summary lesson after each chapter with comprehension questions. Also starting lessons on Hiroshima and the atomic bombing by USA in 1945 to tie in history with literacy. Place value in maths, and a test so I can forward plan from that, library, sport, learning goals for 2016, some about me activities, class expectations and that's the week

Coding is now in the Australian curriculum so have to teach that this year

Might have to learn it myself though first lol

Morse code?

IT coding. One of the reasons why the Australian education system is failing. The government brings out new topics and learning areas into an already crowded curriculum every few months, with no professional development for the educators to actually teach the subject effectively.

Have been facilitating 'Train the trainer' sessions at work.

Making sure that the group is following, those that read ahead aren't bored & others not falling behind.

Doesn't help when everyone has email on their phones and constantly distracted.

That sucks I'd love the opportunity for some training

Wouldn't learn much; only convey the importance of Touch,Turn,Talk technique, using 'hooks' for introductions, using familiar examples, turning off powerpoint screen so focus is on the presenter, pausing for 7seconds will always get a response from audience, managing difficult questions which you don't know the answer to, group slow learners with fast learners etc.

I'm guessing basic HTML? not sure why kids need to learn that..

I reckon start with Excel formula's - would be a lot more useful than coding webpages.

Coding in any format teaches logical step-by-step thinking. How to break an action into steps & how to deal with errors/what-if scenarios.

Learning binary and networking concepts would be cool.. ipv4, ipv6 and subnetting - given that a lot of it is maths or uses maths too

Random PowerPoint effects brought the lulz when our IT teacher did a presentation at school assembly. Massive passage of text came in one letter at a time...it was lagging too...
