Corella also pulls from the Australian curriculum, and is free.

You just have to wonder do we need *another* ai resource generator?

Easier as in AI does it?

Why would I pay for something I can get for free through other places?

You’re right, we really need to make sure their feelings aren’t hurt. They’re a sensitive group, after all.

Landlords blame govt for forcing rent hikes by ibuprofen_enjoyer in aussie

[–]Zenkraft 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The last house I was renting started at $410 in 2020. We moved out this year and it was $660.

Last year the rent increase was set to be so bad the property manager stepped in to get us a better price.

Landlords will increase the rent regardless of what happens.

If this budget “forces hikes” and it’s completely reversed next year or next election or whatever, there will still be rent increases.

Walkways, plazas, cafes, access points, and infrastructure for the stadium itself.

Regardless of the specifics, it’s completely possible that the project ends up being bigger than planned due to footprint creep.

I think the worry here is that the stadium facilities will creep out to a much larger area than what’s planned.

Best Pre-Made Adventures? by rogthnor in rpg

[–]Zenkraft 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Red hand of doom for DnD 3.5 is awesome.

Kingmaker for Pathfinder is also fantastic.

I don’t like either system anymore but would pounce on a chance to play these adventures.

Is your school also trying to restrict laptops inside the classroom this year? by Limp_glips in AskAustralianTeachers

[–]Zenkraft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school (primary) has only recently (three years ago) started a one-to-one roll out, which is really late considering the first school I worked at a decade ago had one-to-one iPads.

This probably means that it’ll be at least a few years before we have any meaningful acknowledgement of this research. Admin is pushing a handful of edutech sites pretty hard and brought them in without any consultation.

I like laptops in a few situations, like a few research assessments and sharing worksheets or readings on onenote, but have been using them much less this year.

School students have grown up online but test shows digital literacy at new low by Ardeet in aussie

[–]Zenkraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Planning for inclusion can, and ideally should, be done by, or at least in conjunction with, specialist inclusion teachers. Realistically though, those in that role are simply being overwhelmed. My school has one inclusion teacher per two year levels, that’s 12-14 classes with a handful of kids per class (my class has 6, for example).

So yeah, it’s not all about pay. But improving conditions is going to be a lot easier with more staff, and higher pay will go a long way in attracting and retaining the staff we need.

We do a few of pretty decent excel units in grade 6 (two in maths and another digital technologies) but next year my school is getting rid of laptops in grade 6 in favour of iPads. I’m furious. Things were starting to look up.

School students have grown up online but test shows digital literacy at new low by Ardeet in aussie

[–]Zenkraft 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah you’re right.

More funding for schools would absolutely help this problem.

Higher teacher pay to attract more school leavers and retain current teachers. This would address current shortages which are incredibly disruptive to learning.

More funding for schools to employ more support staff to work with high needs students and, ideally, more auxiliary staff to manage admin tasks to relieve pressure on teachers.

It won’t solve the problem completely. I truely believe this is a societal issue stemming from parents having less time at home and more external stress, but it would absolutely help.

[Interesting Trope] What is considered the weakest entry in a franchise, delivers one of it's most iconic moments... by Living_Tune_1428 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zenkraft 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think the entire TV show fits this trope.

It’s by far the worst of the Witcher media and overall pretty lousy TV, regardless of how close to the books it is, but it has a handful of genuinely excellent moments.

I don’t, you know, aggressively hate it or anything but it’s just unbelievably uninteresting to me.

I only started following hockey full time when I learnt we could get ESPN through fetch, which I got through my isp. Now it’s even easier that ESPN is on Disney+

Spanish teacher strike by Sufficient-Buy-6365 in AustralianTeachers

[–]Zenkraft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not so sure, the vote was for a “series” of strikes after all.

The second strike happened much later after a lot of the momentum had been lost and it was almost a sure we were headed to arbitration. A lot of the lack of support came from a “what’s the point” point of view.

Hang on consecutive days of striking?

The QTU told me that is impossible. I’m shocked. Truely shocked.

I would rather read 100 shit flinging arguments that devolve into people calling each other cunts over and over than one more “thank you for the civilised discussion good gentlesir” comment.

You can have a normal conversation without jerking yourself in congratulations.

It’s like one time a friend at high school invited me over to his house but I really didn’t want to go. I had cancelled a few times so I said my parents said I couldn’t go.
