Not yet added the language but thanks to @msftresearch.bsky.social for knowing that stock video can keep eyes on page. Parrot is a very cool way to find the video on Youtube (to be released soon) and practice parrot and numbers.

Every now and then I am shook. Students did not know how to quickly sketch this diagram table, even though it was clearly in front of them in the video/here in picture snippet. Proper gobsmacked I was #teacher

Just a quiet and quietly delightful day.

I knew I was tired because it had been beyond hectic in June, but when the evidence was in front of me from Youtube, 14 videos, it all became exhaustion clear. I'm also getting better at setting up videos but accepting small mistakes too

@techie90.bsky.social @amuseed.bsky.social Like I said yesterday ish, so weird how I don't see people that I follow, lots of strangers via blue sky. Not the easiest site, so nice to see you

Bloody hell #youtube work for "infer" is a bit of a 'mare. Trying to keep it so students can access in Auslan but there is also a reach for a new understanding of the implications. Super tricky #Auslan

Living Big in a Tiny House has given me a 2nd breath of life in making home, homey once more

Showing that "pile" is such a bendy word, with lots of synonyms for it. Kids can use depiction in sign to share more details and build their capacity to story tell, to share, to sign #languages

When I was 16 and people kept asking me what I wanted to do, who knew it would be making mini language videos about tearing paper down the middle, scrunching it up To tell a story of learning through showing and making #youtube #Auslan

I don't get why more people don't focus on the floor. When I'm filming down there it makes ambience lovely. Is it because it makes it harder to vacuum? #staycation 😍

Loving the warm orange tones, and the floral will make a nice backdrop. The floral drop will also mean I don't have to make odd sized things somehow neat. Feel like I got a bit of my homey feel back again. #staycation

Half way through this staycation I thought, nope, and went off to spa it up. Will get there and I'm thinking maybe a curtain over the bookcase would be fine backing #teacher staycation

Every now and then I get the urge to upend all the interior of my tiny 40 square flat and started by settingup a new standing filming table on this outdoor chair. Lucky I am pretty short

This is the shell before I add in the video. The test yourself is working with the baby steps it takes. Loads of students need that retrieval practice #languages

I seriously amped up signing around the great lockdown and remember being pleased if 2 of my students checked. These kind of numbers blow me away

Yesterday I went for a delightful round of Negronis but as a result, today was a bit of a schamozzle

Classic handshapes here we come as the Semester kicks start a week before the hols. Why I don't know

So #youtube is gentler because in my most watched video I look shattered. Partly because I made 15 language videos this month, alongside my normal teaching job

Boxing the command term, or verb, gives students way more chances to practice those senior year level terms they need, to really hone in on what they mean and use a lot! For those who bag PP, try using it like this, it makes a world of animation difference.

not sure about this thumbnail to be sure

Finding cute animals with one colour for a quiz. These are adorable

4 legs or 2. Thumbnails and quizzes, so kids can get the verbs right in Auslan. Takes like forever

This "red backpack" was proof of concept, that kids needed a way to find things more independently. Step 1 make a playlist to attach it to. Then students are literally finding the red backpack quiz. #languages #Auslan I'm down to 5 percent of kids needing extra help finding.

Really tired today, so spent time improving #youtube thumbnails, so given a playlist students should be able to find a video, even without reading. The red backpack quiz, was a proof of idea, way more kids found independently. #Auslan

This is the picture prompts for colours and school nouns. Providing students with a chance to "look at the back of the book" like we did in the old days and then see what they understand. It's reframing for practice rather than perfection #Auslan #youtube each week 1 is uploaded and #Math soon too

Behind the scenes I work on more video on numbers because my students are both new and showing me they don't get primes. The samey colour theme was from them. #languages #learning #Auslan Each ot these take hours

#youtube and hard to believe I've been doing this ten years yes a blinking decade. This .jpg was about how my thumbnails or the covers, for each playlist have improved #languages

Thumbnails are like the covers of books, making it easier for our students to find the information they need. Best advice I got was less is more. One colour, one image. It doesn't need blah, blah, blah #youtube journey continues

Made a goal, getting to 500 subscribers today. Mind you the bulk of people who do watch are not subscribers, but this is youtube, full of weird twists and turns #languages #youtube

This art deco building was at the end of Degraves St and I would love to have gone inside to have a sticky beak
