I love using Brisk to create Google Forms, but sometimes I want my Google Form to be based on multiple sources of information. Here's how easy it is to make and combine Google Form quizzes with Brisk and Form Import. #GoogleEdu #Brisk #GoogleForms @briskteaching.bsky.social

As a massive fan of K-Content (before it came to Netflix) & technology - this is now one of my favourite photos from London Google, where I was invited last week to present to 80 educators from Seoul, South Korea on AI in the Classroom with @matt-dh.bsky.social ☺️ #pedtech #GoogleEdu #fingerheart

It was great seeing @padlet.com at BETT to brainstorm about sandbox pads & breakout links. I've created my first Digital Whiteboard Padlet from this discourse; I'm trialling it tomorrow. I don't like digital boards where students can see/edit eachother's work before I say so 🙈 #edtech #organisedfun

The Digital Media Club are starting Memes and Stop Motion this term, which means only one thing... LEGO!
The characters have been chosen and now the stories will unfold 😎
I have 16-year-olds asking to come back more than 1 lunchtime a week to work on these projects 🥲 #teacherlife #lego #mediaclub

First thought: Our Head of Humanities will love this!
Second Thought: I want a copy to teach myself through more video games! 🤓 🎮
Hi History Educators. Some would be delighted to know a book on using historical video games in history education exists, has existed for 13 years, now 2nd edition. Save money; ask the library to get it!
(amplifications appreciated; I think a lot of interested folk just don't know)
Gaming the Past: Using Video Games to Teach Secondary History
Gaming the Past is a complete handbook to help pre-service teachers, current teachers, and teacher educators use historical video games in their classes to develop critical thinking skills. It focuses...

I'm setting my A-Level students a GCSE exam question tomorrow as an intro to our Video Game Topic. They will type answers & I'll use Notebook LM for feedback during the lesson. I love detailed mark schemes & open evaluation questions! I'll update reflections 🤓 #MediaStudies #NotebookLM #GoogleEdu

An insightful and thought-provoking day at the LGfL Edtech Summit today! I love the collaboration and openness within the EdTech Hubs programs - if you haven't taken a look at their website and case studies, please do. It's a great place to connect and see best practices 🤓👏 #EdtechSummit24

Want instant, free Google Form and Slide creation? I'm a bit late to the game, but I've just tried Brisk for Education! I'm excited by it and wanted to share some simple starting instructions. It's free with Google Chrome and is GDPR compliant 🤩 #edtech #aieducation #brisk #staycurious #googleforms

Unintentionally, I often add little extras to my teaching & speech. My friends & I like to call them 'Charlottisms', as opposed to 'unnecessary & inappropriate inserts'. Innovator Academy was no different.
Meet me for coffee to hear this tale... I'm not repeating it on social 😅 #GoogleEdu #GoogleEI

Share this with staff who use Google Docs. Don't accept PDFs or note screenshots of homework or digital work. This offers an easy method to check for copied and pasted chunks of text and for students tweaking A.I. pasted work.

My hopes for Bluesky is that we can embrace our everyday interests and hobbies alongside the networking and aspirational world. We do not exist in a vacuum; balance is vital and makes us human 🤓 so here is one way that I like to distress from work 🎨 ☺️ Share how you like to unwind! #lotr #digitalart

Super proud that I'm now a Certified Google Innovator 🙌💡 But this is only the 1st step! After completing my Digital Apprenticeship last year whilst teaching full-time, I'm excited for another year of growth! Thank you @canopy.education, Google & new friends; here's to the next chapter 🤓 #googleei
