There are no short cuts in this game... like learning to play an instrument. The mastery comes from the practice: trying, stumbling and trying again. And then doing that again and again. πŸ€“πŸ˜ŽπŸ€™

Strategies for Improving Speed and Legibility of Handwriting for Secondary Students 02/11/2023

Could your child's hand writing be costing them marks in their math exam? Have you looked to see if their numbers and letters could be interpreted differently by the teacher marking the test?

Strategies for Improving Speed and Legibility of Handwriting for Secondary Students Some interesting facts… With the widespread use of laptops and touch screens in the classroom and at home, students are losing the ability to write neatly and quickly as writing is performed …

πŸ’‘Some food for thought for high schools considering adopting government-funded media awareness education. We're all for teenagers being taught how to be more discerning about news, and not to accept it all at face value. BUT if any news awareness program declares that any or most news on social media is fake, and that you can always confidently trust any mainstream news items (or only those that are published on "authorised" websites), then I would query the course provider's understanding of how the news media really works (as well as how funding sources may influence their programs).

Seeking community groups, clubs and businesses to receive some essential news media awareness education on Sydney's northern beaches. This is real talk about real life--the birds and the bees about the process and effects of news media. There are some things that you don't know that you don't know, and that are critical for you to know. This is one of them. Please watch and email [email protected] to get the ball rolling. πŸ™
