Unsubscribed from my favourite podcasts, @RestIsPolitics and @TheNewsAgents for 4 years. Daily Trump news is not good for the mind. I’ll just use @haveigotnews and @StephenAtHome for the funny takes.

@EvidenceInEdu Some useful ideas here but teachers need to be careful to know that much of the SoL is based on research into the learning of Maths & mostly in the UK and US where it's almost entirely exam focused. The UK has been SoL based for a decade & still has the usual 1 in 3 failing Y11.

@Doctor_Harves @Delta_Cephei @MSFTCopilot @MicrosoftEDU @GeminiApp @OpenAI @MSEduANZ What an amazing post! That’s some serious work that I’ll be sharing with my science team. Huge thanks Michael!

Huge thanks to @dylanwiliam, @DanielPink and @RobertGreene for revolutionising my Art classroom! 😀

#Learning is easy and engaging. #Education makes it hard. Here's how I turned the 'worst' #students into the best learners without gimmicks. eduwells.com/2024/10/02/how… #EdChat #ArtEd #Mastery

@stephen_PtC @NZEITeRiuRoa I just can't believe her top-down, we-know-best approach isn't popular.

@alicekeeler Perfect timing. I just posted my Experience with Mastery in Art. Engagement without Gimmicks! eduwells.com/2024/10/02/how…

"Enhancing engagement is a hot topic in the world of education, as it plays a crucial role in student success." alicekeeler.com/2023/05/06/enh…

Teaching and Learning is so much easier when you step off the treadmill and start actual learning. Here's my post on my experiment this year. How I engaged learners without gimmicks: eduwells.com/2024/10/02/how… #Teaching #Mastery #ArtEd #Learning #EdChat

As NZ enters its annual Exam phase, I wonder: 1. What % of #students respond to practice exam feedback? (is marking looked at?) 2. What % of #teachers will run class activity to ensure individual students breakdown the feedback and fill gaps? Also ... #Exams prove what?

Hey #Teacher, ... busy? #Schools are so busy moving forward onto new topics etc. #Learning requires much more looking back. eduwells.com/2024/08/15/loo…

@alicekeeler After all that, I got too excited and discovered it was only still in Google Labs! 😀 I still have to wait.

I ♥️ Remove Background for images in Google Slides It is sooooo helpful #GoogleEDU #GoogleSlides

@alicekeeler Actually, I'm annoyed at you as I'd been off Twitter for a year as an anti-Musk thing and now you've gone and made Twitter useful again!! 😀
