#edtech committee assemble!
Our @BloomWorldAcad edtech team had a lovely intro to Apple Leadership last night to further intergrate tech into learning: School vision and collaborative and inclusive learning. Great to learn about how #AppleEdu and #IB compliment so well!

How are you keeping your students interested in #readingforpleasure and #books towards the end of the school year?
We are trialling using @lightup for students to create book reviews. Here's a dynamic globe (clouds change) on our atlas as an example!

@AlKingsley_Edu @ICTEvangelist @ReallyschoolK @CJPWright @Ka81 @drewpovey @BobHarrisonEdu @EvoHannan @OLewis_coaching @chrisdysonHT Morning Al, it is the beginning of an exciting week!

[Linda Scaife @DigiLin_]

@ICTEvangelist I do know what it is, but, in a class where we encouage students to use a range of methods to express their learning does a WAGOLL somewhat limit that expression and encourage copying/cookie cutter work?

[Linda Scaife @DigiLin_]

@philipwride @EZ_Robot We need more of this thinking in education so that our students benefit from our learning! 🙌

[Linda Scaife @DigiLin_]

As a science teacher, I fell into the trap of thinking "I can't code. That's not me"
Until last week.
And the ripple of "what can I now do to upgrade lesson delivery" is still percolating around my head.
Daily reminder to always try new things!
Thanks @EZ_Robot

@CoraEdTech @antcopeland @ViewSonic @GESSeducation @ViewSonicEDU It is, I agree, particularly with European languages. I'd love to see how accurate it is with languages that have non organised characters within a class setting (Arabic, Chinese, Russian etc) Which languages do you often translate to?

[Linda Scaife @DigiLin_]

We ❤ our @ViewSonic boards at our schools, they do so much to help equitable access to learning!
Here is their new feature: built in live translation to the language of choice (we chose English to Arabic)
Meet their team at @GESSeducation, it is worth a look! 👀

[Al Kingsley MBE @AlKingsley_Edu]

Another fab book recommendation. Check out “Tiny Voices Talk” from @Toriaclaire - it has Ferdi’s 🐶 paw of approval 🐾 - love part VI, “ways to find your voice”. Great Christmas gift ;)

[Olly Lewis @OLewis_coaching]

So where is everyone headed?

We had a little sleepover. It was glorious!

The highest projected earners are students that go into STEM, and the least regretted major is Computer Science. But have a look at the most regretted fields📖
Is robotics literacy for all the answer to turn this around? Is this global?

@davesdozen_ @AlKingsley_Edu @GESSeducation 😮😬🙈 oh gosh, with 5 year olds?! That vision of the future sorta reminds me of the matrix....

A really interesting panel on the metaverse and how it will directly affect how we view schools and education
