@samuelmcneill @PlayCraftLearn Thanks Sam. Will definitely be sharing more as we get into world building in the next few weeks!

@S_HarrisNZ @PlayCraftLearn Love this!

Long time between tweets but some cool stuff happening at mahi today - my first lesson teaching students to develop their own resource packs in @PlayCraftLearn. Part of my module teaching students to tell Aotearoa New Zealand’s histories through game based platforms

@ConorMcHoull Had a listen this afternoon. Great mahi mate 👍

Pretty bloody stoked to be a guest speaker on Using Technology Better’s Podcast with the great Rebecca Rose & Mark Herring discussing #esport in #education and the impact this can have on student engagement and success. There are so many wicked opportun…lnkd.in/dW6aVr-5

Keen to hear others thoughts - when tools like this are free, open access and only going to get better, how do we ensure authenticity in NCEA? Have tools like this been considered throughout the NCEA changes currently under way? #edchat

In the clip, I have taken an question from a Level 1 History exam and have modified it slightly to provide it a context to write on. I have no doubt it could be used to construct internal assessment work. I think this example summarises the pressing need for change in education!

Yesterday I spent a bit of time playing with @OpenAI’s ChatGPT and started thinking about its implications for schools in Aotearoa - especially for NCEA and they ways in which we assess and ensure authenticity of assessment. Check out the video if you haven’t seen this before 🤯

@anthonybreesenz Awesome mahi Breesey! Can’t wait to see it all come together.

@Doctor_Harves Sounds good Dr Harves 👍

Morena #nzmieexpert great to meet some of you at the #NZMIEEHui22 I am looking to create a list of #MIEExpert on Twitter so we can start to weave those international threads too. If keen reply via DM or to this thread.
