@claresealy.bsky.social Absolutely loved your ResearchEDBrum presentation about how subjects differ yesterday. Wondering if you are sharing your slides at all, so I can spread the word?
Always love that our reading lists are so similar!!
Thank you! Tweeted and Linked In messaged and Ben himself responded within 10 mins. Still a superstar!!
@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
Hurrah, hurrah! Have been nagging @joedale.bsky.social!!
Students think it’s “magic” 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.
Ah … at last!! Keep trying to recommend WAIB with no one to link to!! Welcome!

'Does your study skills curriculum work?'
"Do pupils need to know about ‘working memory’ or ‘procrastination’? Will a ‘study skills curriculum’, or a revision programme, really make a vital difference?"

This is great, Christina - thanks for the share
Do you use booklets in your teaching?
What are the pros/cons?
How can they be used in different subjects?
There are actually many different types of booklet. Read more about them…..

Let me know if there are more to add

This is what I love about having taught in the same school since 1996. “You taught my mum/dad/aunty”. Teaching the children of students who “came good in the end” and are proud to show you that.
Hurrah! Glad to see you over here!

2. Working Class Hero - John Lennon

Interesting. Have been wondering whether we’d go back to pre-Covid times.
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 “Blog of the Week” recommendation for our briefing. I try to keep them short, practical & linked to some PD or focus areas that we’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.
Another brilliant and timely post for the start of a new school year.
So many links to great blog posts and articles popping up that I can’t stop reading. How do people gather, save, collate these? Looking for a one-stop solution. #edusky #uked
Dachs & Pica the cats and Olive the 16-week old lab … no chaos here.

This ... brilliant!
Two days into Blue Sky and I’m finding it all so refreshingly positive and inspiring. #edusky #BlueSkyM #uked
