Online Professional Development Courses – ReadWriteThink.

Keeping students engaged is a must. These poster’s do the job well. They are designed to teach students information quickly and are easily understandable.
They stimulate the mind and create interest where there may have been none before.

I like to alternate the posters around the office as i have multiple eye catching graphs and charts for when the student may look up from his/her work.

The education faculty of Monash celebrated it’s 50th anniversary recently. The celebration was conducted at the National gallery of Victoria where we we’re treated to delicacies and pleasantries hosted by the esteemed University of Monash. As an alumni of Monash University myself I was compelled to enjoy and partake in the revelries that occured!
