@ChrisYoules Looks great. Hoping to do similar in April. How are you travelling between the places Chris?

Such a beautiful country (Vietnam).

@DeputyGrocott Diffit to create age specific texts from a prompt. Provides text and a summary and a host of different questions. Can now be exported to Google slides etc.

Is anyone using AI in the primary classroom yet? If so, how are you using it and what AI site do you use?

@engteacherabro2 @ChrisYoules I thought Chris spoke a lot of sense too. Sorry I didn't meet you. I'm Helen, the person in this photo with Chris. I work in BPS.

This was worth every penny. @ChrisYoules is fabulous!

@PatanaCPL @WCIBangkok Thanks for the opportunity @patanacpl

A CPL event with food trucks and chill out zones with bean bags? Yes please! An amazing day of learning no connection for 7 of our staff and the inaugural Festival of Education at @WCIBangkok #educationfest

@ChrisYoules @engteacherabro2 @leaningshane Lots of take aways from your session Chris. Thank you.

And it was great to meet some new people. @HDHLBK @engteacherabro2 @leaningshane

I really enjoyed getting the chance to speak today. What a fantastic day! @EduFestThailand

@ChrisYoules Talking a lot of sense about teaching the writing of sentences.

I'm really looking forward to speaking at this fantastic event today.

Did you see my tweet the other day about a new book detailing 150 #ThaiFood shops in 10 famous districts in #Bangkok? If you repost it by Friday you could be one of five lucky winners to get their own copy of the book! Everyone who reposts the tweet will get a PDF copy.

[005] #ThaiStreetFood 🇹🇭 Jok Moo (โจ๊กหมู) 🇹🇭 Rice Porridge with Pork * You can ask them not to serve with internal organs. On top is ginger.

@RichardBarrow I cancelled my trip there this week. Lost out on some money but the health of me and my family is more important.

😷 It’s Monday and only two days before I will be catching the train to Chiang Mai for the #Songkran holiday. Where I live in Samut Prakan the air quality is “good”. In Northern #Thailand it’s hovering between “very unhealthy” and “hazardous” 😱🤯. #ฝุ่นภาคเหนือ #ฝุ่นPM25

I will be taking the train to Chiang Mai for the #Songkran holiday next week. But if the air quality is still “hazardous”, I might just take the first available train back home. How has this not been declared a state of emergency? #Thailand #ฝุ่นPM #ฝุ่นภาคเหนือ #ฝุ่นเชียงใหม่

@t0nytrader @Ajarncom 100% agree. Chef Billie at La Maison has been our go to for tasty burgers served with a smile for four years now.

@Ajarncom That looks like a pretty mediocre burger. Not a patch on the burger I had this week at 'La Maison by Billy' at Bangna. Must be among the best burgers anywhere. Good prices too.

Lunchtime burger spesh at Arno's. Haven't been for a while and doesn't seem quite as good value as it used to be.

We know that humans are not very good at absolute judgement. Here is a classic example. Ten experienced & trained KS2 teachers marked this piece of writing on a 9-point scale. Click the next tweet to see the results...

@c_peart Whole class feedback combined with live individual marking ( in any colour) has been shown to have a good impact.

Unpopular opinion: I like having set colours to mark with and show feedback. Not sure why some people get so hung up on it. What’s the big deal? The children know exactly where they stand. #edutwitter #unpopularopinion

A brilliantly useful report from 2021 for anyone involved in teaching children how to read, from @EducEndowFoundn & @HFL_Education. Reading fluency is key to comprehension & we can explicitly teach fluency, leading to greater confidence in the classroom. educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/news/eef-blog-…

I have two #AmazingThailand desktop calendars to give away to two of my followers. Just click like and then retweet and I will pick two winners at random on Friday. * The only condition is that you must live in Thailand as I will send the calendars myself by EMS. #Thailand

@Ajarncom I agree Phil. I was moved to tears by some of the imagery.

The Hill-tribe Heritage Museum and Art Gallery could well be the best thing in Hoi An. What an absolute treat! #VietnamTrip

I always ask my Ss to write the alphabet. Many do not know their alphabet! I read there is research into how handwriting fluency effects reading fluency. I found this assessment asking Ss to write the alphabet as many times in 1 minute. I find it tells you a lot. Thoughts?

@PatanaLibrary @helenjbate @BangkokPatana @book_siam This book provoked a lot of discussion in my Y4 class. Better read as a class and discussed than as an independent read I feel.

Me and Mrs Moon by @helenjbate is a story of children coping with discovery that their best friend and carer Mrs Moon is developing with dementia. Our Siam Book Awards, Younger Reader Shortlisted books, for 2023. @PatanaLibrary @BangkokPatana @book_siam #siambookawards2023

@PatanaCPL It was a fabulous day. Thank you Cindy.

A few nice treats to reward our hard working learners today. Free coffee and a foot massage - don’t mind if I do! #wellbeing #WorkLifeBalance #treats
