The weird thing about being a historian is that half the people you meet assume you must know everything about the entirety of global history, while the other half think you have no expertise that can't be trumped by a quick scan of Wikipedia.

So, if you were in charge of teaching primary pre-service teachers what they needed to know about History and Geography education, what would you focus on? Or do? I’m keen to do something really hands-on and practical... I’m looking at you @MrMCimino and @kelittlejohn

Slightly distracted but increasingly besotted by seals on carbonised Roman writing tablets today. The tablets are from the Inn at Murecine, near Pompeii, & record business transactions of the Sulpicii family. [Images 1-3 from: Camodeca, G. 1999 Tabulae Pompeianae Sulpiciorum]

A great response to @smitchellmlc by @HTANSW to the stripping of PL endorsement: htansw.asn.au/ Presumably the call for reconsideration in relation to professional associations can expect strong support from education leaders @NSWEducation @CathSchoolsNSW @AISNSW
