Flipped ebook. Twitter: Christina Polatajko Scan the QR code for your introduction. I am a very passionate Primary Physical Education teacher based in Melbourne, Victoria. I enjoy seeing my students succeed both on and off the courts. I include a lot of ICT into my teaching and this also enables me to connect with my students. I am part of the #aussiephysed group and this group connects every day on a professional level to enhance our teaching and development. I am very privileged to be a part of the ACHPER family and to present at various ACHPER conferences, which I thoroughly enjoy doing. As educators we never stop learning, you need to take risks to succeed. If I had to give one advice to all teachers it would be networking. Networking is very powerful which benefits your learning, teaching and success. I love seeing students challenge themselves and learn something new, this for me is very rewarding as an educator. That's one reason why I have the best job in the world. If you would like to know more or contact me on pepolly17@gmail.com or through Twitter. Christina Polatajko.
