I'm still alive.
I don't know if anyone has been reading this blog, but people might be wondering what the hell has been going on.
For the last nine weeks I've been in the Deputy Principal position at my school. I thing about a fifth of that time I've been acting as Principal too. (Mind boggling...) That hasn't left an awful lot of time or energy for much else. I keep thinking that it will calm down a bit... but it doesn't. I just have to force myself to push through the fatigue if I want to be able to get any decent writing / drawing done.
I presented at annual MANSW Conference (Mathematics Association of New South Wales) on Friday. There aren't many situations where I still get nervous talking to groups of people, but presenting to a bunch of mathematics teachers is one of them. I spoke about my time as a re-trainee mathematics teacher and showed them a selection of finely wrought activities.
It went ok.
Besides the other presentations and the food, the best thing about the conference was sitting and drawing while people carried on about maff! It was great. Here is the pic of the pics from a few pages of scribbling.
