@Markian_07 Nice work! Student confidence in using this tool increasing over the past couple of years. Can’t wait to hear more next week.

Ss engaged in making connections using hexagonal thinking on colonisation. 3 groups: 1 on how expansion affected the land, 1 on why was expansion important &the third made connections within the unit. Lots of discussion, self motivation & risk taking #acuedu_p #designthinking

How to Review Progress and Set Actions with the "Start, Stop, Continue" Improvement Framework This routine is commonly used as a ‘retrospective’ activity in Agile development + Scrum meetings. This post shares an extended version to try with your team. buff.ly/3uBGywe

My school has a champions wall and we place our names next to tools or areas we excel at. They become a go-to person, pitch and critique sessions for PD, classroom learning walks and we show off what we’ve done and take on board feedback from others #aussieED

Yesterday in science we exposed year 6 to the science syllabus! We taught them the codes and they broke down what they thought they would learn as opposed to what the teachers would teach. It was a fantastic experience to observe our principal model the design thinking pedagogy..

@MrJoshuaFormosa Nice work!

I grew up on a farming property not far from here. When student voice aligns with community and country, it is truly amazing. How might students have a voice in your local community? Well done ARTC! ARTC Quirindi Mural youtu.be/xjkyTxKdHlM via @YouTube

@dgburris @teach_create_ Something here from my colleague @chad_ferris when he was teaching organiclearning2.com/2016/09/26/hex… We also have an online course for teachers. Let me know if you fancy having a look.

Dipping my toe into #hexagonalplanning this year with #digitaltechnologies. Very much in the learning pit with it but it’s been great to prompt me to reflect on my practice and co-owning curriculum with learners. Looking forward to watching the wall evolve!

Celebrating a solid two days of learning design with the staff at Delaneys Creek State School QLD. Enhancing student agency through inquiry. Go team! #organiclearning #nationalcurriculum #hexagonalcurriculummapping #learning #curiosity #creativity #transdisciplinary #empathy

@tombarrett Time to upskill and set a new challenge

Just experienced that moment where you watch someone play a song on the piano, you know enough of what they are doing, you can describe it, even hear it, but not quite bridge the gap in your ability. How do I describe that weird, slightly disheartening, tantalising feeling?
