Mrs Humanities shares… twitter highlights #1

May 5, 2019 by MrsHumanities Leave a comment

In the Easter break I thought it’d be a good idea to share some of the weekly highlights I come across on twitter each week. There’s so much great practice on there and whilst I try my best to collate some of it on Magpied Pedagogy, it’s too big a job for one person. So I thought why not share some of the highlights each week on my blog. It’s gets a pretty big reach and might encourage others to make use of the excellent CPD opportunity Twitter provides.

This here is the first of my twitter highlight posts.

Hope you find something of use in the highlights below.

Geography

I’ve created a Trivial Pursuit worksheet for the BBC Climate Change documentary to use with groups. Huge thanks to @becmifff for the questions & of course @mrfitzhist for the template. #teamgeoghttps://t.co/UlaRYRrnEv pic.twitter.com/MQ2GhrKLCc

My lovely S3 pupils were practising their skills in analysis today through a P.e.e.l challenge of quotes from 'The Merchant of Venice'. Great work everyone 😊 #PedagooFriday pic.twitter.com/NlwxAThS0C

T&L

For the few who expressed interest in my bid to develop a feedback-only classroom, here is a ROUGH draft of how I am seeking to capture learning. I want kids to own and tell their stories as they grow from their experiences. So I created a “learning story” diagram. First shot. 🤷‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/cn6ZBgDUxz

Latest in our series on whole-class feedback: for whole-class feedback to be effective, it has to be a 'recipe for future action', not a statement. It can't just be a whole-class written comment – these are just as unhelpful as individual written comments! https://t.co/BApWMnQHE2 pic.twitter.com/AxcFQA0PNt
