Curiously, I also submitted podcasts for another organisation 2 days after this one, yet they were approved 2 days before this one? Maybe they were too busy with WWDC

    • What I’ve been up to this month:

    I set up facebook and twitter for maths.net.au. I also wrote a post about setting up twitter and facebook to interact with my students and their parents. I have used twitterfeed to help with this.

    I launched Khan Academy with my classes and wrote a blog post about it.

    I have put together a page which lists all the PD sessions for Maths in the Sydney region, and also interstate and international conferences.

     

    The Month Ahead

    Check out which PD sessions you should sign up for. I’ll be adding my PLN to maths.net.au, including who I follow on Twitter, which blogs I regularly check (via Google Reader) and which podcasts I listen to.
