Real treat from @theresthistory.bsky.social club for #TeamRE with the episode Charlemagne: Pagan Hunter for the @holland-tom.bsky.social ‘s description of Christianisation of Europe . I don’t think the episode is out yet on the free version but great to look forward to for RE/History nerds like me

Tomorrow - unbelievable drama on @theresthistory.bsky.social, as we continue our series on NELSON!
Glory, then disaster, as he boldly disobeys his admiral's orders, captures 2 ships, almost single-handedly defeats a much larger fleet – & then, carried away, loses his arm...

I usually listen to historical podcasts when doing house chores, so now I am actually looking forward to unloading/loading the dishwasher because I want to know what happened during the French Revolution. No spoilers!
Incidentally, "The rest is history" is a great podcast.

“Noise begets noise… When you call a register, or answer a question or tell a student across the class to get started, you break that spell and the other students – whose attention has not yet concretised around their task – start to bubble up too.”

Just caught up with a few bits from the #TeamRE. #REchatUK on X. I’ve changed my X account to be more personal and less professional but I can’t help but join in the conversation. I’m sorry I missed it at the time I was flying to Vietnam. Made some recommendations that I’ll also post on this thread

#TeamRE Old video I’ve worked on previously on Rastafari- I edited out age inappropriate content and manually added subtitles. Suitable for KS3/KS4. Had to reupload as lost access to previous account.
Enjoy!

New beginnings
It's time for a new chapter in my life and a new lifestyle, having devoted my whole adult life to the full time classroom.
I'm looking forward to working with others to make things as good as we can in #TeamRE & the wider education world.

I agree. But I think it can and should be taught across the curriculum for it to make sense. It would require all teachers to have the training/knowledge

I’ve long agreed with the idea that philosophy is an art more than a science and has limited application to real life scenarios however…
