I'm curious to know if you or your students have used AI marking platforms for GCSE or A level history (eg Classroom 42's 'Examinator'). What are your/your students experiences? Any insights would be really appreciated. Thanks!

A 4hr 26 min train journey to get to #SHP25 . What better way to pass the time than to lose myself in some incredible #ChangingHistoriesKS3 Book 3:Fragile Worlds chapters. The author team and @counsellc.bsky.social have worked their magic yet again.

@hughrichards.bsky.social is writing a few summary stories on Ireland for Changing Histories Book 3 so might be able to help. @msquinnhistory.bsky.social is also excellent.

It will be really good. @catherinepriggs.bsky.social and @egcarr.bsky.social are brilliant at explaining how to integrate rich extended story with critical disciplinary thinking. They explain the #ChangingHistoriesKS3 series really well, giving great practical tips.

Had such a great time teaching Year 7 today! We explored England from 1087 to 1154 - a whirlwind of power struggles, a fractured empire, and civil war - using @counsellc.bsky.social’s chapterΒ β€˜Meanwhile, back in Norman England: Struggling for control after 1087’ from #ChangingHistoriesKS3

This short thread by Cat Priggs made me think:
History planning is about tying things together into a shape, a flow – usually a story & often a parallel flow of the analytic direction created by the EQ. It isn't about breaking things up into propositions and it's rarely about teaching a procedure.

Does anyone know of a university academic/historian who could review a textbook chapter on Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge? Struggling to find someone. Thanks!

Genuinely been looking forward to this arriving - and just in time for planning next year. It looks just as fabulous as book 1!

Paula is a genius. Her chapters in #ChangingHistoriesKS3 sing. And thanks to her, my 4 year old son, Roo, wants to know more about 'the queen type lady' (Nur Jahan) and how she liked to ride elephants and hunt tigers. Thank you Paula for your amazing dedication to this project.

Huge congratulations to #changinghistoriesks3 series editor @counsellc.bsky.social for her OBE. Contrary to popular belief it doesn't stand for 'Officer of the Order of the British Empire'. It's actually *O*ne *B*ook *E*very year to acknowledge the Yr7, 8 and 9 history textbooks we're publishing.😜
