A4: It might lead to better ways of assessing student learning. See students experiment with ideas and concepts knowing they are not being measured as successful/not... #EduSkyAU

OK let's explore some of the possibilities of play... Question 4: How might playful mindsets unlock innovation and collaboration in education? #EduSkyAU @eduskyteam.bsky.social

Play like you want to learn something! #EduSkyAU

A3: Opportunities. For students to see learning as more than something to fill their brains. To allow students time to wrestle with ideas in a way that is not measured. #EduSkyAU

A2. Deep learning without play is like trying to breathe with half a lung. You might survive, but you won’t thrive. Play is the rehearsal room of creativity—it’s how we prototype understanding. Strip it away, and we flatten curiosity into compliance. #EduSkyAU

It wasn’t amazing. Still a bit tender but I’ll survive!

Tinkering is the best way to start. Even if your're not sure...what's the worst thing that can happen?! #EduSkyAU

A1b: I play all the time. In the kitchen. Play with technology. Play with ideas. And I am learning to play the trumpet. Waiting for my next break as a jazz musician! #EduSkyAU

A1: I played soccer on Sunday. It was great. Probably would have felt a lot better had I not trod on a rusty nail an hour before! #EduSkyAU

Hey all. Matt from Perth. Jumping in and out while prepping for camp! #EduSkyAU

Yes. Constraints are the fuel of creativity and innovation. Resources are finite. #EduSkyAU

A5. Probably not enough of a voice in overall design. They didn’t like the stools we originally put into Food Tech. Got better seats based on that feedback! #EduSkyAU

A5. Students shape the space with me. Whether it’s rearranging tables or choosing what goes on the walls, their voice is central. Design becomes a mirror of the community we’re building—relational, respectful, and regenerative. #EduSkyAU

Yeah brilliant. I haven’t taught it yet, so interesting to see how it looks. #EduSkyAU

Adam Brooks @brookssensei.bsky.social · 20/05/2025

Safety. It’s all we are thinking. And there’s some pretty hi tech equipment in there! #EduSkyAU

The hardest thing in the Design & Tech space is getting the initial setup prepared for safety, flow and storage. #EduSkyAU

I’ll keep you posted. Sounds like I might need to get some ideas from you and @brookssensei.bsky.social #EduSkyAU

A4 b: Our biggest issue is classroom space. So many classes that are general purpose are not good for us. And any furniture movement is okay, but don’t dare leave it moved. Or face the email wrath. #EduSkyAU

A4: not much. Everything is pretty much fixed. We can move benches for specific events but for the most part, ovens and cooktops don’t move. In our engineering rooms, pretty much the same. #EduSkyAU

130

Flexibility is key. Particularly if rooms are used for multiple purposes. Our Year 7 project in Sem 2 Dig Innovation is to redesign learning spaces. Can’t wait to see what they do. #EduSkyAU

a3: for starters, it needs to be a kitchen! We actually need to balance our ideas with shire regulations and it can be tricky to find the right mix. #EduSkyAU

Another sublime point ...bias is in everything #EduSkyAU so we need to teach to it, around it and into it... society

Adam Brooks @brookssensei.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

A4: it has to change the way we assess. It hasn’t yet, though we have made changes. But that recall for tests is not enough (never was). So applying your knowledge and understanding matters more than remembering. #EduSkyAU

A3: Start with curiosity, not complexity. Use real-world examples relevant to students’ lives and scaffold skills over time. Co-create with students, embed culture, and ensure tools reflect diverse identities. Make AI literacy inclusive by design. #EduSkyAU

073

A3: Knowing the learners and their needs. Helping them to formulate good prompts. And teaching students to think critically about what AI spits out. Maybe mostly the think critically…#EduSkyAU

My 12s were using it for production planning. I’m interested to see how it goes for them. One of my Yr 10 students used it to change the ratios on recipes. If it works, great! #EduSkyAU

yet... write me a week meal planner for the family and mix it up a bit. write be a shopping list for it @EduSkyAU

A2: Rural and remote communities it’s a great opportunity to access learning. And for teachers. Access to resources and the ability to even summarize articles/rewrite for new learners of English. List is endless. But we do need to be aware of the bias. #EduSkyAU

a1: quick ideation for prompts. Images. Rewriting my emails. So many things. #EduSkyAU

A1: I use it a fair bit. So many uses. Issues are access at school and home. More than that, you still need to know your stuff if you want it to work for you. And it can’t be your final work. It’s a starting point. #EduSkyAU

Sorry I missed the chat. Was playing soccer against our under 18s. I’d be less sore this morning if I chatted instead! #EduSkyAU

To be fair, I like green mango! In a salad. It’s just the ripe fruit is too much.

What can I say. I have a super developed palate. #EduSkyAU

Thanks everyone for a great chat. And thanks for the Qs @adrianodiprato.bsky.social Really made me think about why I do what I do. #EduSkyAU
