These women helped me to begin to build the #SystemsThinking content while the talented & patient #LearningDesigner Nick Lekakis kept me in line from a teaching & learning viewpoint.

Prior to VU I hadn't worked with a Learning Designer before, in fact I didn't know they existed!
Nick unfortunately (or intelligently) is not a social media person but you can meet him here in this excellent explainer from @victoriauninews about what #LearningDesign is connected.vu.edu.au/the-road-to-le…
In the video Nick states that Learning Design = #collaboration to him. This was powerful because #collaboration is not only central to #PublicHealth but also #SystemsThinking.
This short piece (perfect to read while you take a break, scroll twitter & have you lunch) from academic Jenny Pesina @Deakin I think perfectly summarises the power of good collaboration in academia

A key thing Nick challenged me to do was apply #SystemsThinking to the #LearningDesign, not just content. This at times was profoundly meta, complex & confusing.
As someone who has also worked with #PreServiceTeachers I found this article a really helpful starting point to changing my thinking link.springer.com/article/10.100… Sometimes outside of our discipline is where inspiration can lie - don't you agree @jStuchbery @mishymorgs
This article also started to give me direction about how #SystemsThinking can actually be a powerful method to meaningfully include First Nations content in curriculum.

I am excited to read Stephen's PhD when it comes out later this year researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/6345…
The combination of Nick's skills as a #LearningDesigner, his commitment to collaboration, my completion of the Graduate Certificate of Tertiary Education (on top of my UG teaching degree), my passion of quality #PublicHealth education meant we became quite a team.
But it wasn't just us on our own..... (stay tuned for part 2 after I do some work, eat some lunch)

🧵While walking to VU this morning to teach class for #SystemsThinking in #PublicHealth, I began pondering the challenges I experienced. Also how designing & teaching this unit has taught me much about #LearningDesign & #teaching more broadly.

All pics in this thread by me! Image
It does feel risky to write this thread but here we go...

The interaction of studying the Graduate Cert in #TeritaryEducation & designing & teaching a unit in #SystemsThinking in #PublicHealth has really altered the way I think about Public Health teaching & learning @CAPHIA1 Image
It has been transformative but also I have felt profoundly alone & unsure of where there was space - apart from here - where I could safely bounce ideas around about how to address the challenges experienced in the classroom. The #LearningDesigner I work has been phenomenal... Image

Side note - I want to say don't let this discourage you from hosting @WePublicHealth. Here are my tips:

1. Try & find people to tweet with u during the week. When I've hosted with even one person its made a huge difference, particularly when you've run out of ideas (or get sick)
2. Plan out the content in draft form for the week. Even if this is on a scrap of paper. You might have guessed from my tweeting this week that I had planned Mon, Tues & Thurs. I had guessed it would be easy to tweet about #IWD on Weds but I didn't plan my final 3 days.
3. Starting your tweet Acknowledging the Country on is normal practice for @croakey but also an important choice to make when you host. Try to include photographs. As you can see thats easy for me to do but if you don't take a million pictures like me just get 7 in preparation.

Good afternoon from #Naarm

Featured in this tweet and the one following are all pieces of street art from Naarm (some legal, some sneaky) that celebrate First Nations Australians. Perhaps some of you recognise where they are from? ImageImageImage
The tram one should be familar to most Victorians and is part of @risingmelbourne 2022 First Peoples art trams rising.melbourne/wormhole/2022-… It is called Blak Love and is by Dr Paola Balla (Wemba Wemba-Gunditjmara) ImageImageImage
This afternoon I want to start by saying that both illness & lack of internet coverage down in Somers (on Bunurong Country) threw a real spanner in the works for my @WePublicHealth tweeting 😥

Late night tweet...which may go unnoticed...but heres hoping someone sees it & has ideas. Applying decolonisation to Learning Design for this unit (& others) meant talking about issues in #PublicHealth research & evidence. I find this to be a super complex teacher/student dynamic
Many students trust the research & evidence they've been given in their studies implicitly so when you start talking about decolonisation of #PublicHealth you ended up in a complex situation which can move towards conflict (especially if you are Indigenous or person of colour).

A very good morning to you all from Naarm!

I took this photograph yesterday afternoon on my walk from the University to my apartment. This piece by Shawn Lu is part of the #Flashfwd program which includes 40 pieces across 40 laneways.

@cityofmelbourne Before I continue my twitter story about our #SystemsThinking unit I was so excited to see this reply from CAPHIA regarding the 3rd competencies inclusion of #SystemsThinking

Would love to know what the new and emerging competencies are..... can you give us a hint?
