Today an article I was paid to write was published so now I can claim I’m a paid writer.

In my ongoing series about explicit teaching and checks for understanding today we have how to be responsive while teaching. open.substack.com/pub/mutallya... #explicitteaching #responsiveteaching #education #learning #teaching

#SurvivorAU someone needs to channel the spirit of the late great Keith Nale to these castaways that could not possibly stick to a simple consensus vote.

I was interviewed by EducationHQ for some of my hot takes on Inclusion and apparently there were so many that it’s becoming 2 articles. #teaching #education #inclusion educationhq.com/news/inclusi...

#TraitorsUS everyone all dolled up and Rob looks like someone’s going to question him for being from Chino in The OC

#TraitorsUS final fire Alan looks like someone bedazzled the Cookie Monster.

One of my favourite academics just quoted me… This is crazy.

Is the Meta on #TheTraitorsUS to track who makes the deciding vote? It’s been Rob so many times and I’m sure it’s been the traitor in so many other series. #Traitors

We’re re-watching Survivor Tocantins and I completely forgot that Jeff has absolutely no time for Coach’s shenanigans during this season. It’s hilarious how consistently Jeff tries to undercut or set Coach up. #Survivor #rhap

If Christian Hubicki plays a blinder on his second time out for #Survivor50 can we refer to him as “Born again Christian”? #Survivor #Rhap

Sneaking a Penner quote into an article I wrote about the research behind and practice of using vivid stories as a tool for learning. #Survivor open.substack.com/pub/mutallya...

Sometimes if we want the best final product (learning) we have to ‘kill our darlings’. If that doesn’t get you interested, click through and read for a story of change that spans multiple continents. open.substack.com/pub/mutallya...

I’m half way through Escape! By @stephenfishbach.bsky.social and there’s so many niche #Survivor in jokes so naturally slipped in to the story. Later days, gastrointestinal distress, then a whole chapter about creating a 2-1-1 vote and even a character with the last name Bloom. #rhap

#TheTraitorsUS Why are we calling him Rob R? Why not ‘The Rob that Shucks’? #rhap

Aubry and Q on the same starting tribe. They knew exactly what they were doing

This felt like a fitting location to start reading @stephenfishbach.bsky.social debut novel on release day all the way from the heat of an Australian summer. #rhap #survivor #escape

I’ve hit a point in my life where I now right 2.5k word blog posts about education with citations to research while still making pop culture references. #explicitteaching #education #vce #det open.substack.com/pub/mutallya...

#Survivor49 I cannot believe Jake’s spirit passed on to the ocean to make the world’s biggest shoe bandit.

There was a doppelgänger of Parvati at a Wiggles show at a theme park today and I really feel the need to apologise for how many times I looked over to check if it was actually Parv.

Went to a gig last night, crashed at a friends place then I’m going to 2 bachelor parties back to back today. Suddenly I feel like I’m in my 20s again

#SurvivorAU vs the World is like if they made a sequel to one of the best movies of all time, but it was straight to video so way less people saw it.

How are we meant to watch #Survivor49 after we just watched #SurvivorAU give us a continuation of 17 year old Survivor story with a tragic and fulfilling ending? How do we go back to someone 3D printing challenges?

Luke at the final tribal. #SurvivorAU

They should remove $1000 from the prize money every time somebody says ‘youse’. (Luke ends the game owing the show $3.7m) #SurvivorAU 🌴

I wouldn’t vote for Luke solely for how often he’s said “youse” #SurvivorAU

Parvati saying “knowledge is power” again and I imagine a producer in video village shouting “for the last damn time it’s the IDOL STEALER” #SurvivorAU

*Parv starts speaking* *winner music intensifies* #SurvivorAU subtle as always

Janine leading with one of the worst reads of a jury of all time. #SurvivorAU

Cirie received 8 votes in this season compared to her 9 votes in her previous 4 seasons. #SurvivorAU

DONDI fallen angel, an apprentice advisor and the winner of big brother VIP Your #SurvivorAU final 3.

Did we just have a Cirie balance beam fire moment? Is this leading to S50 fire win? #SurvivorAU #Survivor50

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🔥 THE BRAINS VS BRAWN MERGE TRIBE NAME #SurvivorAU

He learned how to spell Cirie! The arc is complete. #SurvivorAU

Shonee with the Parvati on the Traitors headband on the jury. #SurvivorAU

What if the final three is Janine Luke Parvati in honour of JLP? #SurvivorAU 🌴

Why am I suddenly pro US forced firemaking where Parv could choose to take Cirie to the final tribal. #SurvivorAU

It’s crazy that it’s finale night on Father’s Day and we’re most likely to crown mother. #SurvivorAU

If I had a nickel every time a male gave up the immunity necklace at a final 5 tribal council with Parv and Cirie, I’d have 2 nickels. #SurvivorAU

Omg Shonees final words of “I’m coming for Jonathan’s job” has aged so poorly. #SurvivorAU

How is tonight the penultimate episode of #SurvivorAU? It feels like just yesterday Tony was wearing a shoe necklace.

Find someone who talks about you the way Lisa talks about getting to know Cirie for 12 days. That’s true love. #SurvivorAU

There’s 2 idols, an immunity to win… #SurvivorAU don’t you dare hide enough idol and risk Cirie getting Game Changered.

Has anyone ever though about lying about having an idol when you know someone has an Idol Stealer/Knowledge is Power? #SurvivorAU

Lisa again on #SurvivorAU as our conduit to help Cirie finally win Survivor and I’m here for it. Lisa is us.

Advantageddon reference on #SurvivorAU please, why must you reopen these wounds.

Parv, an idol, an idol stealer, two biggest immunity threats gone. Steamroll incoming. #SurvivorAU

Lisa blowing up everyone games and then peacing out. She’s team TV. #SurvivorAU

I actually really like back against the wall Tommi. #SurvivorAU
