I am currently in my second year of my teaching degree, under the trade to teach banner, and I currently work at a Catholic school in Townsville as a school / Maintenance officer in the Design, Manufacturing, Technologies space with students with disabilities in years 7,8, 9, 10 and 11 which can be quite challenging for them compared to their peers, with regard to safety in the workshop. 

I have some experience with digital platforms that my school uses e.g Google classroom, ClickR, Youtube, Onguard, VR. I think its great that teachers can check the progress of students assessments via a digital platform...... That means no more "the dog ate my assignment" excuses.

I am keen to learn all about new and existing technologies that can help all students achieve their desired outcomes.

These design-thinking lesson plans are great as they provide a scaffolded approach which offers a structured classroom-ready model which is mapped to the Australian curriculum pedagogical best practice. Creates authentic student learning experiences in the classroom, using this resource for years seven eight and nine is ideal and essential as it's a critical step in learning about the fundamentals of design thinking, which is helpful not just in the ITD space. The plans support the general capabilities which are embedded within the Australian curriculum and also support the SAMR model. I have found that the uni SA very informative in creating classroom structure, and facilitating student LED design challenges which will give me a clear understanding of how to move forward in the classroom
