I am passionate about learning that is tailored to children's interests and gives lots of opportunity for children to be creative and critical thinkers. I think it's important that learning materials cater to a variety of learning styles and I try to make my resources have real-world applications whenever possible. These resources will not only engage your learners, but they'll save you time, so that you can focus on doing what you do best.

If you’re after an easy way for your students to find out about the achievements of 21 iconic Indigenous Australians who’ve shaped history, this set of PowerPoint and Google™ slides that highlight their contributions to arts, science, culture, politics will be ideal.
The people in this set to show a broad range of contributions across various fields, from young and old, and from the past and present, to honour each person and to inspire our young people.
The text on the slides is editable and you can delete any slides you don’t need. I’ve also included a couple of blank slides so you can add your own photo/text for people you wish to include.
The slideshow can be used as a whole class at the start or end of the day, or during social studies/inquiry. Alternatively, it can be used independently, and can be accompanied by the banners, so students can write about a person for a class display. These can be attached to the wall or hung over string (and stapled or glued together).
