We are 2 regular teachers in Victoria. Our aim with this podcast and blog is to take some time out of our busy lives to discuss and reflect on the many elements that make up the life of an ordinary public school teacher on the frontline…perhaps with just a little lean towards using ICT across the curriculum. All views are our own.
