We are getting #AppleTeacher ready at @BloomWorldAcad Exciting times ahead! Thank you @MakerMurtaza for your continuous support and incredible training expertise🍎📚 #Education #TeacherTraining

Today I completed "Unlock generative AI safely and responsibly—classroom toolkit | Microsoft Learn"! I'm so proud to be celebrating this achievement and hope this inspires you to start your own @MicrosoftLearn journey! learn.microsoft.com/en-us/training…

Our beautiful pieces of student #artwork on display through the school at @BloomWorldAcad this week #ArtFestival #ibschool

#teachers do you want that latest in teaching from a range of sources but are lacking in time to research? This newsletter is YOUR answer! Al, you keep our brains nourished throughout the year :) #edtech #inclusion #education

#edtech committee assemble! Our @BloomWorldAcad edtech team had a lovely intro to Apple Leadership last night to further intergrate tech into learning: School vision and collaborative and inclusive learning. Great to learn about how #AppleEdu and #IB compliment so well!

How are you keeping your students interested in #readingforpleasure and #books towards the end of the school year? We are trialling using @lightup for students to create book reviews. Here's a dynamic globe (clouds change) on our atlas as an example!

Well done Grades 4 and 5 for an entertaining Pathway performance of My Teacher's a Troll! #bloomworldacademy #bwacommunity #schoolshow

Let's get this show on the road! At the Dubai Teaching Conference at Safa British School ready to rock with @DigiLin_ 🫶🏼

@AlKingsley_Edu @ICTEvangelist @ReallyschoolK @CJPWright @Ka81 @drewpovey @BobHarrisonEdu @EvoHannan @OLewis_coaching @chrisdysonHT Morning Al, it is the beginning of an exciting week!

#HappyMonday from 🐶Ferdi and me. Wishing everyone an amazing week ahead. Keep smiling 🙂

@ICTEvangelist I do know what it is, but, in a class where we encouage students to use a range of methods to express their learning does a WAGOLL somewhat limit that expression and encourage copying/cookie cutter work?

Can you help me? Do you know what a WAGOLL is? I think it's a widely known and understood term by teachers but I'm keen to know if my assumption is correct. Please help? #EdTech

@philipwride @EZ_Robot We need more of this thinking in education so that our students benefit from our learning! 🙌

@DigiLin_ @EZ_Robot Absolutely! In business there's a mantra about becoming comfortable with taking uncomfortable action to progress and learn. The same should be true of teaching - take uncomfortable action so you never stop learning!

As a science teacher, I fell into the trap of thinking "I can't code. That's not me" Until last week. And the ripple of "what can I now do to upgrade lesson delivery" is still percolating around my head. Daily reminder to always try new things! Thanks @EZ_Robot

@CoraEdTech @antcopeland @ViewSonic @GESSeducation @ViewSonicEDU It is, I agree, particularly with European languages. I'd love to see how accurate it is with languages that have non organised characters within a class setting (Arabic, Chinese, Russian etc) Which languages do you often translate to?

@antcopeland @DigiLin_ @ViewSonic @GESSeducation @ViewSonicEDU Try YouTube - surprisingly accurate and it helped a lot for some kids.

We ❤ our @ViewSonic boards at our schools, they do so much to help equitable access to learning! Here is their new feature: built in live translation to the language of choice (we chose English to Arabic) Meet their team at @GESSeducation, it is worth a look! 👀

Another fab book recommendation. Check out “Tiny Voices Talk” from @Toriaclaire - it has Ferdi’s 🐶 paw of approval 🐾 - love part VI, “ways to find your voice”. Great Christmas gift ;)

We had a little sleepover. It was glorious!

The highest projected earners are students that go into STEM, and the least regretted major is Computer Science. But have a look at the most regretted fields📖 Is robotics literacy for all the answer to turn this around? Is this global? @EZ_Robot @jdickler cnbc.com/2022/11/12/the…

@davesdozen_ @AlKingsley_Edu @GESSeducation 😮😬🙈 oh gosh, with 5 year olds?! That vision of the future sorta reminds me of the matrix....

A really interesting panel on the metaverse and how it will directly affect how we view schools and education Chaired by @AlKingsley_Edu at @GESSeducation
