@Dean_R_Lomax @BBCBreakfast @TVNaga01 Awesome!

Always great fun being on the @BBCBreakfast sofa. Enjoyed chatting with @TVNaga01 & Charlie Stayt about our latest discovery, Ichthyotitan. A giant ichthyosaur. Love this photo of Charlie playing the ichthyosaur jaw guitar 😆 *Charlie's holding a 3D printed replica .

@cravenscience1 Yes, it was published in the recent geoscience mag. I also did my own research, collated the data and used it to write my proposal for starting up an A Level in geology. It worked!

@rockwithsyd Is there data on this?

Does a shortage of ks4 & 5 specialist teachers have an impact on the number of future university graduates in that subject?

@pumpkinfaeries That just won't do!

@rockwithsyd It's so bad 🤣 There are no snacks in the house 😱 I have already checked ✌️🤣

1000% regretting saving this marking for the hols... 3xY8 3xY9 1xY11 then FW planning for Y10 🫠🫠🫠 #GeographyTeacher How many times will I stop and get up to look for snacks #Snacky #FFS

@profprofMFL Yes apathy is a real problem. What's the cause?

@RadleyGeol Omg this looks great!! By any chance would you be able to share the identification flow chart please? I can't find one online and don't know enough myself to make one!

Easter egg hunt them stress-testing trilobite identification flow charts for SP16 Practical Endorsement #MondayMotivation #easter2024

@Earth_Sci_Jen Hey Jenny I am wondering if you could help me with an earthquake data activity? 😁

@La_Biologuita Madness

@La_Biologuita How many students did you have? :(

Teachers of Twitter (post-16 variants) Q. How many formal mock exams does your college/centre do with year 13 students? #education #alevels #teachers

@ErrantScience @GeolSoc Just had a go at cartooning geology with my little sister! This one is based on people who still deny climate change despite events such as that in Stalybridge yesterday.

For day 2 of #SPT12DaysofChristmas we’re looking back at the climate summit at @LHS_HighSchool! Local primary schools, councilors and MPs were invited to learn more about the climate crisis. Everyone worked so well together; hearing thoughts and ideas was fantastic.

@MrLGeo Write constructive feedback on the piece of work with clear instructions on how they can improve an answer in the short term.

What's your approach to handing back an assessment when you cannot find a single mark (even trying to be really generous) without utterly crushing a student's confidence? #teachertwitter #geographyteacher

@EarthDocAlannah @anungsamsu This sounds super interesting, plus Lausanne is gorgeous! Good luck 😁

Thrilled to start my 2nd postdoc at the Institute of Earth Sciences Uni Lausanne. Joining the inspiring @anungsamsu & DeTect group. The mission? Understand permeability during tectonic deformation & implications for geothermal & permeability in Switzerland #Geology #womeninSTEM

At my new school when you go to print a second window pops up to confirm you wish ti print and confirms the cost. This appears 30s after you hit print. I without fail forget this window will appear and jog off to the printer (different room) to find no document waiting for me.

@cravenscience1 Will anyone be checking the AI generated questions before they're set? Will every student receive the same questions or randomly assigned Qs? Students to start typing answers instead of handwriting? Tech in schools for this? Arghh!!

One more - from a purely assessment model (not teaching), this could push mastery teaching into the undisputed way to go.

Crystal ball time: Digital exams are inevitable - a few guesses at what will happen next: 1. AI will do the bulk of exam marking, with human lead examiners marking the marking (then disappearing completely). Boards will point to increased consistency while raking in profits

@ashtonsixthform @AlderCHS @Cambridge_Uni Natural Sciences, what a great choice! Enjoy and good luck Vernon 😀

Vernon from @AlderCHS has achieved A*A*A*AA in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths and EPQ! He is now progressing onto study Natural Sciences at @Cambridge_Uni 🎉
