I feel as though I am essentially swimming in assessment at the moment. Shout out to the Australian Curriculum, Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority, and people who actually take the time to post semi-embarrassing (but super duper useful) videos to YouTube with ideas for classroom learning activities and projects.

Hello boys and girls. Who knew that WordPress wasn’t the only blogging site in the history of the internet!? Hopefully all of us by now.
