Happy to have woke up to find I have passed become an #ISTE Certified Educator. It was a long process but allowed me to learn and reflect on my practices.
I had a great time presenting at the #Canva #TeachMeet about how we introduce Canva to the younger year groups.
But had an equally great time learning about using the new Canva Code feature. A game changer. Has anyone else played yet? #EduSkyAU
Rather than just looking at what’s problematic, we need to research what is looking at the value SM brings with quality experiences, complex lived experience and use it to inform evidence based policy going forward
@aleeshajoy.bsky.social on the youth social media ban in Aus: we need to create a child safe internet with a radical shift. Building it by slowing down, using evidence based research and build it with young people’s voices, rather than with speed and disruption #EduSkyAU #Edutech
The question left in my head from yesterday - as teaching professionals are we modeling transparency with AI like we expect from our students? I haven’t seen newsletters or tasks sheets with a “AI was used to help…” disclaimer at the bottom. How are you modeling this? #EduSkyAU #MIEE #EdTech
The man, the myth, the legend. Amazing to have @mtholfsen.bsky.social pop in to the #MIEE day for an ask him anything session.
#EduSkyAU #EdTech
Big week ahead in Sydney @microsoftedu.bsky.social #MIEE day tomorrow, followed by 2 days of @edutechau.bsky.social and a networking event at #Canva. And maybe check out some #vivid25 Who else is coming?

George living her best long weekend #caturday life. All legs, no worries.
Here are some of the images generated: ChatGPT, Copilot and Canva. Note Canva nearly did it but the girl had to write with two hands simultaneously #EduSkyAU
Oh thanks! We will try negatives tomorrow!
@aiineducation.bsky.social do you have any other examples that we can try in class? #EduSkyAU
We tried Copilot and ChatGPT. Didn’t try Canva, that may be a job for tomorrow’s class. But now they want more examples of things it can’t do
Today I learnt #AI can’t generate images of left handed people writing, we tried many prompts and had a great discussion with my students as to why that may be. They want to know what else it can’t do. Have you come across any other examples to use with students? #EduSkyAU
Absolutely! And I don’t think it was an answer they would have expected in the end, because I didn’t really expect it from myself. #EduSkyAU
A3: in my last role I was asked what I wanted to do next, I’d done the next logical job and knew it wasn’t that. That conversation had me reflect on what I was enjoying doing and ended up seeing me pivot to my Tech based role from an EaLD one. 1 yr later and i know it was the right choice.
Yes this! Walking with them and meeting them where they are. Often I have teachers pop in for help and say “oh I’m sorry I know you have better things to do than teach me something so simple” and I’m always like no, this is what I’m here for and I’m more than happy to help with whatever YOU need.
Hi! Nice to be able to make this one, albeit quickly pop on before having to run out!
I have loved seeing people run with new tech ideas I have coached them through using, then sharing this knowledge and helping their colleagues use whatever tool it was. That always makes my day! #EduSkyAU
I was hired as a grad by someone who became, and still is an amazing mentor for me. She taught me how to lead with kindness and empathy and made me a better teacher and leader and has also become a great friend. #EduSkyAU
Clips! So many ways for students to demonstrate their knowledge and so easy to use.
*stylus over typing, I mean.
Handwriting is so important. Especially as our exams are handwritten. I encourage students to use their stylus over writing, and I tend to do that too (and now with the autoneaten tools it is so much easier!)
I’m so excited to start my #ISTE certification this school holidays. It’s been on my #PL bucket list for a while. What’s on yours? #EduSkyAU
A message from Perth to anyone watching #drivetosurvive - Daniel Ricciardo’s farm is NOT in Perth. Yes, it’s in our giant state but it’s 3 hours south of Perth, in the wine region. Our capital city is not farmland with kangaroos, despite what @netflix.com and Horner say. #F1 #perthisok
It’s Election Day in WA, which means it’s #democracysausage day! (For non-Australians, we vote at local schools and the P&F committees do sausage sizzles to raise funds.) I’m voting at East Vic Park Primary, which always has veggie and halal options. Support your local PS and their P&F today.
Love that Perth Festival got permission to use the abandoned East Perth Power Station for concerts. And thanks Röyksopp for coming to Perth.
My first experimental batch of cold brew coffee nearly complete. A lately delivered Christmas gift from @jeremykerr.bsky.social
30g of coffee, 300g of water, 6 hour drip time.
Took a moment of calm before the return on students tomorrow. WA has amazing beaches! #EduWell
