@jimknight99 That you get out what you put in. It's about you doing the work and thinking. It won't be neat or perfect. You will struggle and try things and refine them; you might not notice how you have changed, but when you reflect back, you will see how you have moved and grown.

[Cilla Giannopoulos @CillaGeo]

@igeeducators Thanks for another great session Tania. Inspiration and practical ideas are a perfect way to start the year.

[Erika @erika_lusky]

Thanks @mwmedvinsky Looking forward to it! You've gathered quite an inspiring line up for the week!

It was great to report on Mram's @AlyamiMram journey from Saudi Arabia's Eastern Province to representing @KAUST_News at this year's @lindaunobel. Part 1 of a two-part series on Mram's life in #science is now live on the @KAUST_PSE website. #scicomm @AMPM_KAUST @ShmsLab #lindau

@trev_mackenzie made it worthwhile staying up late at the @toddle_edu #pyp #assessment meet up. Co-Constructing is a mindset that I hope we see more of as we move to ALL becoming assessment capable.

[David Murphy @Couloulthakid]

And that's pretty much a wrap on another great year of working with @cemseKAUST to produce—hopefully— interesting #content covering the progressive #research emanating from the Division & @KAUST_News

Language is everything, I used to say, ‘turn & talk’ now I’ll say, ‘turn & learn’. Thanks for sharing @naik_tanay! Will use this protocol @ISLuxembourg on Monday!

[Tania Lattanzio IGE @igeeducators]

Discussing the importance of not over planning with a group of teachers and ensuring that we leave room for student inquiries. Respecting their interests and questions.

Looking forward to reading this in more detail, but I am not surprised. Interesting how libraries and librarians are often among the first things to be cut due to budget.

One of my favourite days of year- watching students interact with their parents during #studentledconferences. The children appreciated their parents taking time out to listen and it was a good opportunity for us to stop and reflect during exhibition #SLC #PYP #education

[Cilla Giannopoulos @CillaGeo]

"You've changed the landscape of #learning." Just one of the inspiring thoughts shared at the end of our workshop (4/4) w/ Young Creative Minds. It's heartening to have #schools embrace a mindset of doing things differently and letting students lead the learning #collaboration

[David Murphy @Couloulthakid]

"With a goal of creating sustainable change in the field, @CillaGeo hopes to encourage new ways of #teaching and life-long #learning." Very proud to see my wife featured as a @usqedu alumnus 👩‍🏫👩‍🎓👉: https://t.co/rY9KLmOtRq

In 2018, 6,897 people were killed or injured by #landmines, with children accounting for 54% of casualties. Some game-changing @KAUST_News #research may be the key to saving countless lives worldwide. My latest article for @cemseKAUST: https://t.co/CBlk9WsEoz

Reflecting on the experience of our interview with professional writer @Couloulthakid, one student observed, “It is fun when you don’t know something and your prediction was wrong but you still get the answer.”

[David Murphy @Couloulthakid]

It was strange to have the shoe on the other foot this morning. Being interviewed by @CillaGeo's class was a daunting experience...daunting, but fun. It was also nice to get a brief insight into a working #classroom (glad I went with #journalism over #teaching 😄) #education

[Cilla Giannopoulos @CillaGeo]

Can’t wait to get into work tomorrow to rethink spaces with my teacher next door involving our children in the process. Thank you @RosanBosch for inspiring us! #nomoreclassrooms #thefutureishere #ToddleTIES
