WGTA S6E34: What Kind Of #FPL Risk Profile Do You Have? 🎲 @WGTA_Nick returns to the pod and is joined by @FPLPricey for our annual risk profiles ep, describing different managers' appetite for risk using hits! Plus hot topics eg Rash replacements ♥️/♻️ 💜 pod.fo/e/17316a

Interesting to read this. I know TF can be very divisive but it was a total game changer for me. Gave me a route into teaching like nothing else, and I'm still going, 10 years later.

WGTA S6E33: What Does DGW29 Teach Us Moving Forward? 👩🏻‍🏫 @lucyhighnett's joined by @FPLPricey to discuss DGW29's knock-ons, ie Saka's benching, buying Haaland/City in future, the double sacking & more Likes and retweets appreciated, but listens even more so pod.fo/e/171b77

@HB_History @TTRadioOfficial Big respect for what TTR do and your part in that but, come on... "fled" isn't great, is it?

I’ll bite… There are too many people on Edutwitter telling teachers how to teach from their ivory towers If they really wanted to make a difference, they wouldn’t have fled the classroom That’s why at @TTRadioOfficial we prioritise the voices of classroom teachers

@BevMatt79 Thank you! Stiff this morning. 🤣

Well done Tom 👍

Ran a half marathon today with @runforall Training plan fell apart about 6 weeks ago and haven't even set out for a run in a month. But I really enjoyed it. Running is fun. Beautiful route through the city and into the Peaks. Wonderful. #SheffieldHalfMarathon @VisitSheffield

Looks tougher than our chances of survival. 😳

Former schools minister tells MPs that increased investment in the early years would be ‘more effective’ than ‘catch-up funding spent in the school years’ tes.com/magazine/news/…

🥳 The Festival of Debate will return to #Sheffield from 12 April - 26 May! 💡 This year's line-up features loads of exciting speakers including @brianeno, @SMaurizi & @Stella_Assange, @KwajoHousing, @ProfDavidNutt, @Generallevy, & @garyyounge! 👉 loom.ly/gp2BWh8

If you heard the audio and saw the pictures but think Greenwood's innocent because the court case fell apart, I really have nothing to say to you. (Also it would be great if @TheAthleticFC would drop the paywall on this piece. It says important stuff that people need to read.)

People in 30 countries were asked: What reduces greenhouse gas emissions more? Eating locally produced food, including meat and dairy? Or vegetarian, even if some of it is imported? The majority (wrongly) believed that local food is the better option. ipsos.com/en/perils/the-…

Interesting to read a counter-argument to some of the narrative around teaching apprenticeships. Thanks @samtwiselton

@geogologue @GeogChat Thank you so much! 🌏

@GeographyTom9 @GeogChat Ah cool! Wasn't intended as a gotcha or anything like that! Our resources around visualising (inc tools for measuring landforms etc) are here if they're of interest. …gis-uk-esriukeducation.hub.arcgis.com/pages/visualis…

A few short questions to think about next… Q2: How is the study sequenced? How influenced are you by the GCSE spec? Which locations do you use? UK or wider world? #Geogchat

@Geo_Dougie @GeogChat Seconded! Map skills are the primary skill focus for us in physical landscapes.

Our final question: What skills do you develop within this topic? #geogchat

@geogologue @GeogChat Hello! I have played with GIS before, very powerful in the sense it allows students to see the changing scale. But certainly something I need to develop my use/knowledge of.

@GeographyTom9 @GeogChat Hi Tom 😊👋 When you talk about zooming in, is that literally e.g. using GIS as a visualiser moving between the scales?

@Geo_Dougie @GeogChat It's increasingly becoming a non-negotiable for me too.

Welcome to tonight’s chat on teaching physical landscapes at KS3. Q1: What is the most important knowledge and skills you want to convey to students? #GeogChat

@GeogChat Locations, generally stay UK based. Always try and keep things local esp at KS3. Want to upskill their local geographical imagination.

@GeogChat Sequence: start with the big picture, what is the landscape like/features etc. Then you gradually zoom in. E.g., rivers - you focus on the whole river, then the courses, then the processes.
