Really good episode with excellent food for thought for any senior leader trying to embed consistency in T&L across a sch alongside maintaining subject rigour and validity.

I use Goodnotes on my iPad. In class, I mirror my iPad to my board and use presenter mode on Goodnotes to teach with.

Hi @chatchemistry.bsky.social Have a year 12 student who wants to study chemistry at Uni. They want some extra enrichment activities to do as there is no real relevant work experience. Does anyone have any ideas? MOOCs? @adamboxereducation.bsky.social please repost

🎢 This is how I've been teaching proportional reasoning in physics, slightly different than how I've seen, which I will tentatively name the "Expel the Intruder" method.

We start with this warm up situation, and need to compare the range of B vs. C.
