“It’s much easier to evidence improvements in attainments through Showbie than via paper books as the whole learning journey can be evidenced, including warm up activities & group learning, not just final pupil outcomes.” Check out the Parkdale PS story. tinyurl.com/49phbk54

It’s been great connecting with Australian teachers to chat all things Showbie as the school year begins. We hosted three webinars in the last week & then a face to face session at Mother Teresa Catholic College with Jamie Clark & Johnny Ho. Term 1 PL calendar coming soon!

Australian friendly times for this Showbie and Jamf event - 4pm in Perth, 7pm in Sydney.

Wishing our Australian teachers a great first day with their students. Here are some Showbie tips to start the year well.

Love this use of @showbie in the early years!

Great tips for setting up your Showbie classes!

Did you know Showbie has built in video chat? Talk with individual students isolating at home or connect with your whole class for remote learning. You can even have breakout sessions! APAC teachers can find out more at our upcoming PL sessions. showbie.com/australia-back…

A great read on retrieval practice from my Showbie colleague @lancslassrach. showbie.com/the-power-of-r… APAC teachers can learn more about this and other forms of assessment at our Socrative Term 1 webinars. showbie.com/australia-back…

I’ve been practising the instructional design skills I’m learning at Uni. These slides are for a Mentoring Educators workshop I’ll be running next term.

Creating slides to support student learning? Research says our eyes are drawn to things that move. Animated backgrounds draw the eye away from the content you want your students to engage with, increasing extraneous cognitive load. #BrightShinyThings #UseWithCare

Great afternoon partnering with @LumoslearningAU at the Google Educator Event running an ICT General Capabilities playground. Lots of fun had with Keynote, Numbers, Clips, Shortcuts, @Doinktweets, @chatterpixit, Stop Motion Studio, Google, PicCollage, Showbie and some cool robots!

It’s been great working with the talented Jamie Clark and sharing some of the learnings from my recent uni studies. Excited to see the potential of university/industry level instructional design software being realised, along with micro-credentials, in the secondary years.

Today I got my final results back for the Graduate Certificate in Educational Design I’ve been studying at Monash. It’s been an amazing experience and I’ve learned so much along the way.

A great set of visual hierarchy principles to keep in mind when creating digital resources visme.co/blog/visual-hi…

The Noun Project is one of my favourite tools for creating visual content. Well worth the (very reasonable) subscription. thenounproject.com

1/2 Excited to have received a copy of ‘Teaching One Pagers’ from Jamie Clark. I’ve been lucky enough to witness the development of this book over time & know how much research and design work have gone into making this fantastic collection of evidence-informed summaries.

2/2 The ‘what - why - how’ structure of the summaries and the extensive use of visuals to unpack concepts make this a powerful entry point into key pedagogical concepts. Congratulations Jamie for a powerful addition to teacher professional learning.
