iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A6: I love the idea of this being a 'superpower'. AI can take you so far, but needs to be re-crafted with a creative & critical mind. Creativity will help learners to imagine the future possibilities and entrepreneurial thinking will assist them to bring this to life... #EduSkyAU

A5: From a leadership lens, being authentic, willing to be vulnerable and to walk the walk, to make mistakes and admit we didn't get it right, but once we know better we can do better. This gives others space to be their own authentic self #EduSkyAU

Q5: The Courage to Create 🎭 What conditions in your school or system support or stifle creative confidence in students—and teachers? #EduSkyAU

141

A4: A small thing I do as a leader is ensure that every tech. tool/app is chosen based on it's ability to be used creatively for students to show what they know & to create amazing things, not as a vehicle for consumption. Use a few things incredibly well + know that Minecraft is da bomb! #EduSkyAU

A3: It's been a while for me, but in my Science/STEM class we focused on the SDGs as the starting point for our inquiry & STEM projects. Reflecting on what we cared about personally, and things we could change in our local context as a impetus for problem solving. Then applied some tech... #EduSkyAU

A2: I've been out of the classroom for a while, so my role sees me leading a school & creating a learning ecosystem that does things in innovative ways to ensure we have an amazing team of passionate educators who are committed to ensuring every student is the best version of themselves #EduSkyAU

Q2: Beyond the Buzzword 🚀 What does innovation look like in your classroom—and what barriers limit it? #EduSkyAU

262

A1: This is a tricky one. I feel like there is a lot already in our curriculum (such as cross-curricular priorities) that are overlooked simply because there is no need to report on them. I wouldn't suggest having the pressure on reporting on creativity though, so I don't really know... #EduSkyAU

Hi all #EduSkyAU - I'm missing my chats, but these past weeks have been hectic. NAPLAN has been taking up my energy this past week & now I'm getting ready for an @acelwa.bsky.social event hosted at @daytonps.bsky.social tomorrow evening, so I'm just popping in to say 'Hi' and I miss you all!

It’s amazing how long toast takes to cook on a gas stove - power outage this morning and I am struggling without my coffee! ☕️ We certainly do take flicking the switch and having power for granted… 🙃

Can’t wait for this week’s chat hosted by @leghamlemming.bsky.social. A topic right up my alley! #EduSkyAU

151

A3: I look for various things at different times. Sometimes it's just sharing cool things we are doing hoping it will help others. Other times it's sharing events we are running. Then it's looking for cool ideas, courses, books and sometimes just dog pictures! #EduSkyAU

A2: I was feeling a little bit of SM fatigue so to silence the noise, I got rid of my Facebook other than to manage work pages, stopped posting on Insta, logged off X and am now putting my energy into LinkedIn and BlueSky. Do less with more zest! #EduSkyAU

290

A1: My PLN through #PrimarySTEMChat (on Twitter before X) changed my life professionally and personally. I created connections online that became friends in person, and also the number of doors of opportunity it opened has been amazing. I have really missed the connections, and the banter #EduSkyAU

A6: I kind of muddled up Q6 into Q5 and offered both. In admin. I use it for editing report comments, assisting with creating whole school policy, scope and sequences, curriculum documents and the like. Summarising information for staff PLs, creating presentations. #EduSkyAU

050

A5: To alter texts to higher/lower levels for reading. To create provocation images/videos for writing. To edit report comments. To plan a lesson series. To help write a polite parent letter. To assist with creating a social story for Ss with ASD. To create easy definitions for vocab. #EduSkyAU

A4: That AI will not be viewed as the whole picture when it comes to education, but it will be a small, but useful, part of a bigger picture that at its heart is human-centric. #EduSkyAU

A3: I think we need to be incredibly cautious about what we upload for AI to respond to. Copyright, privacy etc. Also, the danger of losing the ability to analyse, summarise etc. ourselves if we always get AI help... #EduSkyAU

Q2: I think that there's definitely a place for AI, but the need to be a critical thinker in reflecting on anything that AI creates or develops. I'm on the fence around S use, & when that is appropriate in a primary setting. I can see Ss doing critical analysis to react to output #EduSkyAU

A1: at a school level I have hosted PL for our staff on ways that AI can be used to assist them with planning etc. and to create images for provocations and using programs like Magic School, ChatGPT, Canva etc. #EduSkyAU

060

A1: Our system blocks many AI tools for students (like Chat GPT) however it's embedded into so many programs now (Word, Docs, Canva etc.) that's it hard to block use. Teachers are welcome to use things like ChatGPT and I use it daily for SO many things... #EduSkyAU
