Why?Cultural appropriation is real. As a Darug woman, I see it daily and I hate it. Truthfully Dr Chelsea Bond’s hashtag #AnotherDayInTheColony is so true. When people try to take on something that belongs to First Nations, but they aren’t https://surfgoogleverse.blogspot.com/2020/09/a-godfather-moment.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anissa Jones)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473270494537204004.post-3411991212437287573Mon, 01 Jun 2020 11:16:00 +00002020-06-01T04:19:14.638-07:00#8waysOfAboriginalLearning#GEGCanberra#IndigeniseEDUReference: Tania Schafer @Wantima Reconciliation Week It’s been a mix of ups and downs, which has caused me to think about my Innovator Project and how relevant it is today. Throughout Blak social media, mob are reminding us of the 400+ Aboriginal deaths since the Deaths in Custody report, the destruction of a 46,000 year old sacred site in WA by Rio Tinto and then we saw live the https://surfgoogleverse.blogspot.com/2020/06/reconciliation-week.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anissa Jones)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473270494537204004.post-5708552051292000331Wed, 27 May 2020 08:25:00 +00002020-05-27T01:25:12.312-07:00#DigiTech #8WaysOfAboriginalLearning #PD2020#GEGCanberra#IndigeniseEDUThis year! What a start....first the smoke hovering over the city, then the fires in south Canberra.....and then COVID-19. Who would have thought that we would have such a major impact in both our lives or our schools.

My students have been smashing it out of the park with their work in the Digital Technologies space and some were able to participate in the University of Melbourne coding challenge. The first term of our new Digital Technologies curriculum has come and gone, with plenty to reflect on, improve and adapt. So far, so good.

Horrible weather (too hot), but they were eager to learn. I'm teaching Digital Technologies to Years 3-10 and a Year 10 SOSE class (aka HSIE). So far I've spent the week teaching Digital Citizenship to Years 5, 6 & 8, and started up digital portfolios with Years 8-10.   Next week is my busier week, with two Year 4 classeshttps://surfgoogleverse.blogspot.com/2017/02/back-to-school.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anissa Jones)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473270494537204004.post-6883283405829346086Sun, 04 Dec 2016 11:14:00 +00002016-12-04T03:14:29.846-08:00This past weekend I had the great honour to be a presenter on the ANZ section of #GoogleEduOnAir.

I was there to judge the Australasian Pacific Finals of Tournament of the Minds. For me, the best part of ToMs is seeing how our future leaders problem solve, work as a team and perform. Over 500 children from all states and territories in Australia, New Zealand and Thailand made it to the Gold Coast for the event. Sadly my home territory https://surfgoogleverse.blogspot.com/2016/10/final-trip-for-year.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anissa Jones)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473270494537204004.post-7668988289904092493Tue, 11 Oct 2016 10:31:00 +00002016-10-11T03:31:39.340-07:00In a nutshell, lots. I learned that what I want to teach and what I need to teach are close but still not close enough to the DigitTech curriculum. It has given me perspective and pushed me into the right direction.It's even got me planning what to do on for my Term 4 GEG Workshop in Canberra - a forum to share and discuss ideas for 2017.So my first few days back at work have been filled https://surfgoogleverse.blogspot.com/2016/10/so-what-did-i-take-away-from-ulearn16.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Anissa Jones)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7473270494537204004.post-2389087940531845551Tue, 04 Oct 2016 20:38:00 +00002016-10-04T13:50:01.373-07:00 Entry into the Energy Events Centre, Rotorua Today is the first day of #uLearn16 and I have already been blown away by the respect for culture.

I saw what she had accomplished and thought "I need to do that too".  So what's this blog about?
