Play doesn’t happen without safe spaces and genuine connections - play and flow state are intertwined - innovation and collaboration also don’t happen with all these ☺️ #EduSkyAU

I played this morning with my child who is currently interested in property purchasing (after a good friend bought a house) so we played ‘real estate agents’ 🏡 #EduSkyAu

Created this so students can make their own multiple choice Designed to be more inclusive of student needs. We'll use it in Auslan, but it's got flexibility within powerpoint. Boxing the command verb, underline the important words. thx Wesley college for game changer. #eduskyau

A Good Read @jay.bsky.team / www.techedt.com/blueskys-ceo...

I belong to two amazing book clubs: The University of Melbourne’s fiction book club and Educator’s Book Club. This is my list for Educator’s Book Club summer reading. #booknerd #reading #educatorsbookclub

A6. Designing learning experiences that combine curric with real-world projects & authentic contexts needs intentionality, using a variety of frameworks & clear pedagogical approach - Check out some 'real world' problems solving projects from last 2 years - #EduSkyAu meglanguages.com/canvasresour...

Q.6.How can we design learning that combines curriculum content with real world projects and authentic contexts? #EduSkyAU

A5. School gardens! So many great benefits to them for young people - #EduSkyAu www.edutopia.org/article/inte...

Using Gardening to Build Community in ELL Classrooms

An interdisciplinary gardening unit can strengthen students’ sense of belonging and enhance their language skills.

A5. The @inspirecitizens podcast (interviewing students about their projects) always provides a lot of inspo for authentic and motivating contexts for learning - #EduSkyAu inspirecitizens.org/empathy-to-i...

Inspire Citizens

Listen to the voices of students who own their learning and make impact in their communities. This podcast gives examples of global citizenship education, sustainability education, service learning a...

A5. We also have to consider the mental health epidemic that is going on today with young people - I love the Triple Wellbeing Framework - simple and so well thought out. #EduSkyAu

A5. With Climate Change as an issue, the @Climate Action Project (TAG) does really interesting works with schools globally - #EduSkyAu www.takeactionglobal.org

A5. The @innerdevelopmentgoals produced a whitepaper last year with some diff global programs and approaches to developing 'inner skills and capabilities' - #EduSkyAu meglanguages.com/canvasresour...

A5. Ask students what their 'contexts' and lives are like.. what are they interested in and thinking about.. #EduSkyAu we talk a lot about #StudentVoice and #Agency but what about the context this happens within? What kind of school do they want to attend each day? What might change?

Q.5 How are we developing social purposeful skills through authentic contexts e.g. Inner Development Goals? #EduSkyAU

A4. I LOVE the Human Library initiative that has been around for ages but is so powerful. It offers the possibility to develop empathy, active listening, and understand our own bias in such an authentic way #EduSkyAu Human Library - Unjudge someone humanlibrary.org

Unjudge someone - The Human Library Organization

The Human Library® is, a library of people. We host events where readers can borrow human beings serving as open books and have conversations.

A4. The key that is sometimes missing in the 'community links' is the reciprocal relationships... how are we learning together, from each other, as co-creators.. how might our students educate the community as the 'experts'? #EduSkyAu

A4. Covid showed society that a school is not a building.. it is a community of people, networked together in different ways. Bringing our community into lessons, either in person or via dig tech, is so important and can support culturally responsive contexts for learning too #EduSkyAu

Q4. How might reciprocal relationships beyond the school gates develop skills and capabilities? #EduSkyAU

A3. #SystemsThinking is a powerful tool for Critical Thinking and other skills e.g. collaboration etc dep on how the tasks are set up. I've just finished a course with @Compass Education who do fantastic work in this space with great tools for schools. #EduSkyAu compasseducation.org/discover-the...

A3. I've observed PBL and IBL in schools as powerful ways to develop skills and competencies - intentional planning to set up skill development in rich environments is always key #EduSkyAu

Q3. Which pedagogies do you believe develop necessary skills and capabilities? #EduSkyAU

A2. The Melbourne Metrics (@unimelb) has so many schools focussed on key competencies and skills - it's going to be interesting to follow this program over the next few years with both Australian and international schools. #EduSkyAu

Q2. How are the General Capabilities addressed and valued in your teaching and learning context? #EduSkyAU

A1. I believe that 'inner compass' (linking to ethical thinking but also understanding ourselves) is becoming even more important as we live in more complex societies with more complex challenges ahead. #EduSkyAu

A1. It's all about skills..... #EduSkyAU www.forbes.com/sites/markcp...

A1. I really appreciated in the 2025 Skills Horizon the inclusion of so many skills that aren't often seen in reports but we know are important e.g. mental wealth, persuasive story-crafting, neuro innovation #EduSkyAU - report link in first comment

Q1. Which skills and capabilities do you believe are vital for young people today and why? #EduSkyAU @mareewhiteley.bsky.social
