Edutech 2015: Missing the wow factor of Sir Ken and Sugata from 2014. Eric Mazur the standout so far. #edutechau

So many discussions and talk of reform in schools - but are we seeing effective change in the way students engage with school and learning.

At Edutech 2015: Same question - are we preparing our students for their future?

A constant challenge in the classroom is to move students beyond the realm of tests and test scores as the prime motivation to learn.

Have to say how satisfying to see Australia win the first test. Great team effort and great comeback Mitch Johnson. Exciting to watch.

Good fightback Australia. Hadden deserves 100 tomorrow. #Ashes

Have to confess have had to revisit Bill Rogers and his classroom management strategies to maintain a sense of calm.

So nearly one year at a new school -interesting the noticeable differences teaching boys after teaching all girls.

Take 2 on the state of Australian Cricket! How did we lose - well batted India.
