I do a lot of this in my current role and have facilitated a lot of projects in a school context, too. I get frustrated by the systemised version of assessment we have in schools! No wonder students become disengaged! #EduSkyAU

This is really evident! When you start doing PBL with students who have not done it before, they have to re-learn how to play. They have to work out boundaries. I deliberately stay out of group conflict unless I am asked to jump in. #EduSkyAU

My brother (11 years older) had a Commodore 64 growing up! We would then play board games and listen to 80s and 90s music. No wonder I ended up doing a Games Tech degree! #EduSkyAU

Do not get me wrong! I am completely with you! #EduSkyAU

Yeah interesting. I think there is a lot of academics that occur without much play. I would like to think that play allows us to move past anything we could just learn through research. It definitely facilitates the deep thinking process. #EduSkyAU

Bluey has helped to bring out my inner 5 year old! #EduSkyAU

Our bedtime stories currently include a ChatGPT story. We've connected all of my daughter's (5) fun things and it always has her and me in hysterics. Her favourite thing at present includes Minecraft zombies shooting themselves with arrows in the butt. #EduSkyAU

For me, play is often with my own kids (5, 13, 16). I do a lot of Minecrafting, and Bluey-style games with my youngest. Then, I do a lot of experimenting with tech. I am a computer programmer by trade (prior to being an educator), so I am often tinkering. #EduSkyAU

Very true! Experimenting allows the opportunity to fail lightly! #EduSkyAU

Ow! That's no good! #EduSkyAU

I have always wanted to be able to tinker in the garage. It is not my skillet, but admire what people like you can create! #EduSkyAU

We are a big board game family. We play every couple of weeks with my in-laws. So much fun interacting in a competitive, but safe (mostly!) manner. #EduSkyAU
