I was lucky enough to walk through some of the #JamesCookUniversity campus in Townsville, Queensland today. Many if the trees were planted by Eddie Mabo when he was a groundsman there. He did a beautiful job.
A wooden walkway next to a creek full of water. Trees are on either side of the water. A green lawn with gum trees at the edges and a silver sculpture is in the foreground.A concrete path runs through a corridor of trees. It has a mirrored roof that runs above the pathway reflecting the path and the surrounding trees. A pathway with low and tall trees on either side.

I have just started reading 'Tools for Conviviality' the other day. It is making me think about his topics differently. I am interested to see you incorporating his ideas into your teaching. Next I am going to go back to this one to look for links between them: www.readings.com.au/product/9781...

How’s this for an opening sentence to a book: “During the next several years I intend to work on an epilogue to the Industrial Age“. Does anyone know this book? #academicreading

There is an established practice of using graphic novels to GROW literacy. A Google Scholar search will provide a list of supporting research. This book could help improve the media specialist's understanding: Novak, R.J. (2021) Teaching Graphic Novels in the Classroom. #schoollibrarians

This afternoon I am working on a presentation describing a research project I am leading that will explore the relationship between custodial staff education levels and the attitudes of these staff toward prisoner education. Ask me if you want to know more! #academicwriting

This is great. I love the way you are modeling what you want your students to do, and the way you have used technology to capture the exercise. Brilliant poem choice.
