🧵 New teachers! Prepare for teaching this term by knowing:
▪️Retrieval isn’t repetitive if you are a novice- as long as it’s useful, of course
▪️explanations are at their most beautiful without waffle - and that’s hard when you’re a subject expert

This is unreal 🤯
I just used #ArtificialIntelligence #AI to translate my voice & sync my lips to give the impression I speak Spanish 🇪🇸/German 🇩🇪 fluently (I don't btw).
I used @HeyGen_Official Video Translate BETA & my mind is blown. ⬇️

For a long time I didn’t have a coherent questioning strategy.
This @RoySocChem article summaries my thinking about how to use questioning most effectively in the classroom.

I have created a document to support our subject leaders with #disciplinaryliteracy across a range of subjects as a starting point for editing and developing into their own curriculums. Created with the help of AI to really drill down into key aspects of #literacy #edutwitter

Benefits of visualiser over board:
1. Face the class - keep an eye on pupils
2. Can permanently store all of your 'board work' (use an exercise book) - great for revision
3. Pre-prepare & reveal diagrams like with PowerPoint*
4. Can show worksheets, exams annotation & pupil work
