@msetchell.bsky.social Hi Matt ... don't suppose you have any tips on getting some customer service from Epraise these days? Over a week of no link to MIS and despite normal help channels, no fix. Missing the brilliant old days of the platform.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a video camera that we can use to film lessons apart from the obvious phone, ipad etc. Looking to build a resource bank for our school. @joedale.bsky.social (? tech guru) Thanks #uked #teamlanguages #uk #edusky #edtech

Students think itโ€™s โ€œmagicโ€ that even a week later, if I show them the first letter of each word cues of a whole text, they can remember it, repeat it, translate it.

As a language teacher, lots more choral repetition (have always done this) but tweaked to use Eng cue & German choral response; reading it back to me to start with. Next step is removing the whole German word and leaving just the first letter as the German cue, I continue to prompt with English.

We offer to buy them, but if they want to write in them, they buy their own.

Using booklets in teaching: Research, pedagogy & practice Following a few discussions on using booklets on Twitter recently, I thought I would pull together some resources on it. I suspect there is little research on the use of these types of booklets in sch...

How can they be used in different subjects?

There are actually many different types of booklet. Read more about themโ€ฆ..

This is what I love about having taught in the same school since 1996. โ€œYou taught my mum/dad/auntyโ€. Teaching the children of students who โ€œcame good in the endโ€ and are proud to show you that.

That was my 31st GCSE results day - about my 8th? (soon to be 9th) GCSE German spec. Always nervous, but always lovely to celebrate with students who have worked so hard to earn their next steps. #edusky #mflbluesky #uked

I do a โ€œBlog of the Weekโ€ recommendation for our briefing. I try to keep them short, practical & linked to some PD or focus areas that weโ€™re working on. I very often recommend one of @pepsmccrea.bsky.social Evidence Snacks. They are perfect & provide wider reading links for the keen beans.

So many links to great blog posts and articles popping up that I canโ€™t stop reading. How do people gather, save, collate these? Looking for a one-stop solution. #edusky #uked
