πŸ“’ New Video! πŸŽ₯ Hess' Law Complete: Learn how to perform enthalpy calculations using both equations and Hess’ cycles for IB, AP & HSC Chemistry students! πŸ“Ί Watch now: youtu.be/taOzBjTT-ds #iTeachChem #edusky #eduskyAU #FlippedLearning

It’s been great dipping my toes back into making videos for my students after a VERY long break! πŸ™Œ This year, I'm focusing on the things that truly bring me joy in education. What are YOU excited about in your teaching this year? Let’s share ideas! 🌟 #iTeachChem #eduskyAU #EduSky

πŸ“’ New Chemistry Video! πŸš€ Learn how to calculate reaction rates mathematically and use tangents on rate of reaction graphs to solve problems in IB Chemistry R2.2.1. πŸ§ͺ πŸ“Ί Watch now: youtu.be/5V-FXFB7F1M #iTeachChem #edusky #eduskyAU #FlippedLearning

Look, as a #chemistryteacher I find good questions like this are great at centering myself when I get stressed. School starts tomorrow, stress was rising, this helped. It just forces other things out of my mind & makes me present as I do the silly low stakes #chemistry #math problem #iteachChem

A tricky Hess Law problem. Please share with your A Level Chemistry students! #iTeachChem #SciComm #UKEd #ALevelChemistry #ChatChemistry

Keen to see how these chats compare to the old twitter chats #EduSkyAU

The inaugural #EduSkyAU chat is happening on: πŸ“… Tuesday, 28 January 🎊 with guest host @mattpitman.com.au. A space for all Aussie educators to connect, share, and inspire. Let’s Go!!

Great to see @dndpodcast.bsky.social getting the credit it deserves. As an OG slabber it always blows my mind how rarely the geekly masterpiece is in the discussion. Peak actual play #dnd #podcast www.thegamer.com/best-dungeon...

Learning is an emotional experience... "Facts become a part of us not when they are sprinkled over us from the lecturer's desk, but only when we jump into them and wallow around in them." #DBER #CER #ChemEd #ChemEdResearch

Alright #chesspunks, what's the psychology I wonder between me tilting games consistently on my phone but when on a desktop I win closer to 55% at the rating I'm on thanks to my phone tilts? Note that this rating is still super low and an inconsistent player.

This is a very good point.

I could not agree with @thenerdyteacher.bsky.social more! @bsky.app πŸ¦‹ has managed somehow to grab the attention of #educators globally 🌏 and reconnect a #CommunityOfPractice that used to be on #Twitter and died years ago. I'm hoping it continues to thrive and grow 🌻. #EduSky #AussieEd #Education.

It's a great day when school excursions take you home to the beach #aussieEd #edusky

β€œLack of leadership by successive Australian governments has created a rift between rhetoric and reality that has played a part in eroding public confidence and trust in our school system and generating anxiety for families, teachers and students.” Lyndsay Connors πŸ‘‡πŸΌ johnmenadue.com/australias-s...

Spent a great day with #P4C working to build #Philosophy pedagogy in schools to help build literacy, inferencing and student #wellbeing #edusky

This is the least surprising article ever BUT the lack of representation of non-male scientists and the emphasis on the lone male genius is so pervasive in our #science curriculum and detrimental to our society. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #education #IteachChemistry
