Yes! And we’re seeing a correlation between lack of unsupervised play and higher rates of mental health challenges in children and young people. We’re well intentioned adults but sometimes we just need to let kids be kids. #EduSkyAU

A6. Absolutely. We don’t need more PD—we need more co-design. Bring in educators, students, and even designers to reimagine learning environments. Good space design supports wellbeing, engagement, and expression. It should be a shared endeavour. #EduSkyAU

A3: A key AI skill is critical thinking. Generations are often imperfect and need editing… they take away cognitive overwhelm but are not the “end product”. To teach this, schools and universities must model critical reflection through multiple examples - embrace AI, not fear it. #EduSkyAu 💻💭🧠🧑‍🏫

A6. The impact of coaching or tech use isn't measured in rubrics—it’s felt in culture. When students speak with more confidence, take creative risks, and challenge injustice, you know it’s working. Long-term impact shows up in the choices they make with courage. #EduSkyAU

A2 I think regardless of the approach, educating the whole person should be at the core. To me, a values based approach (think #SDG #FristNationsPerspectives and #Sustainability etc.) make all pedagogies richer, more contextual/purposeful in supporting student growth and learning. #EduSkyAU
