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 P.S. I didn’t understand any of the physics but could see its brilliance 😂

@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! 😀

@Adam_Currie_NZ Australia, UK, and Germany have a top #tax rate of 45% and are not in the top 10 for tax rates. #NZ's 39% is embarrassing. cc. @NicolaWillisMP

#Learning is easy and engaging.
#Education makes it hard.
Here's how I turned the 'worst' #students into the best learners without gimmicks.

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

[Richard Wells. M.Ed. @EduWells]

@alicekeeler Perfect timing.
I just posted my Experience with Mastery in Art.
Engagement without Gimmicks!

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.

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?

[Richard Wells. M.Ed. @EduWells]

Hey #Teacher, ... busy?
#Schools are so busy moving forward onto new topics etc.
#Learning requires much more looking back.

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

[Richard Wells. M.Ed. @EduWells]

@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!! 😀
