Had a great chat about Frankenstories, teaching, writing, creativity, and collaboration with @dylanclassmate.bsky.social. His “Imagine This” podcast is a great blend of big ideas and practical details for creative school projects. open.spotify.com/episode/1KYy...

I have an opinion: Hexagonal Thinking should be a staple in every middle years classroom. Two Grade 7 classes spent two months proving it with an ancient civilization artifact remix project.

My friend Carlo once sat in one spot under a Skytrain line for two hours. No phone, no music. It was homework for his master's in art education, and it changed how he thinks about where learning happens. 🧵 #edusky #placebasedlearning #edtech

You know the kids who have a hard time participating in a group? Take those same kids outside and all of a sudden, they have so much to say! A kindergarten teacher in North Van figured out how to make that happen on purpose, and record the results. 🧵

This is awesome! We often talk about how the ADST curriculum in BC is not a content area. It's design thinking and computational thinking skills that can be applied in cross-curricular projects.

Here's how to change how you think about a field trip. Normally students go somewhere to consume the experience. They walk through, take it in and maybe remember a few facts. It usually happens at the end of a unit, as the wrap-up.

Excellent resource for how we talk to students about computing tech, especially "AI". #teamCompSci #csed #edusky

The assumption when we show up at a school: we're there to teach people how to use their devices. Walk them through the apps, troubleshoot the issues, done. That's not the whole story. #edtech #edusky

Hey #edusky! I'm Dylan, an EdTech Coach in Vancouver, BC. Where are my west coast educators? The Classmate Team supports educators all over the lower mainland. At the end of the school year our team delivers gelato and sorbetto to all our partnered schools! This year we packed 500+ tubs! 🍦

Cooler full of tubs of mario's gelato. green sorbetto tubs and blue gelato tubs.
