Great collaboration with the talented and dapper @AlphaBalzer over the last 4 days - HEAPS of knowledge shared to uplift the digital learning experience of students! @c_michelle2795

Holiday #STEM project: cut through a native bee hive by accident, quickly build box to save them, do more research, build insulated box, place box inside box, spend ages each day fascinated by bees. Kids are even more fascinated than you. Realise you are now a beekeeper 🤷‍♂️

Outstanding! This is the missing piece of the puzzle for microbit in secondary schools, it makes it the easiest choice for teaching digital technologies now. @ryannoonan5 @AlphaBalzer

Online with @TannyRiach & @NSWEducation schools for a citizen science pollinators project - looking at the Fibonacci sequence, where it appears in nature and creating 3D printable sugar syrup containers with @tinkercad. And collaborating on a @GoogleForEdu plant map @T4L_DoE

Going virtual with @AuroraCollegeAU, @AlphaBalzer and @ryannoonan5 for a student session on coding with @MSMakeCode Arcade - how can you bring your favourite dreamtime story to life as a video game? students collaborated online and shared their games live! @T4L_DoE @NSWEducation

ICT-ception this afternoon with @AlphaBalzer running a Touchcast with the film kit within a ZOOM session, within a staff meeting, remotely helping schools upskill and embed ICT. As the landscape of teaching changes for @NSWEducation, so do we! @T4L_DoE @greentree_mark

check out t4l.link/stem to be involved in the live learning challenges - as the landscape of school support changes, so do we! The pollinator challenge kicked off with a skills session on @tinkercad, with @NSWEducation schools dialing in from all over NSW! @TannyRiach

youtu.be/JT5NndP7-ZY If you're wondering what else to do with your @tinkercad models, why not cross pollinate with @MSAUedu, present them in Powerpoint, or show them with 3D Viewer? check out the Live Learning challenges t4l.link/stem to upskill with your students!

Support for @NSWEducation schools is still in full swing thanks to online platforms like ZOOM - this afternoon’s PL with Rouse Hill PS is streamed across 6 classrooms with all staff. As the landscape of support for schools changes, so do we! @T4L_DoE @ryannoonan5 @JarrodBourke

Awesome student ZOOM sessions today with @NSWEducation schools across the state! @k3lby @AlphaBalzer always a pleasure to dig into some @MSMakeCode Arcade, coding video games with an environmental focus!

The power of “simple” is not to be underestimated. A 5 minute introduction into @MSMakeCode arcade is all that’s needed, and schools can get the instant gratification factor of creating video games and learning how to code with JavaScript and Python! – at Sydney, New South Wales

Great fun today in the @T4L_DoE STEMaSESH webinar - getting challenged by the Brickman to build a tower in 20 mins - seems simple but there’s a LOT of problem solving at play #LegoMasters #LEGO #STEM #STEMeducation – at New South Wales, Australia

Guitars, CAD and set design at the Sydney Theatre Company today with Engineering Draftsman Will Pippen - such a good thing for students to see that life and careers aren’t always straight forward and clear-cut. Thanks for sharing your experience mate! @greentree_mark @T4L_DoE
