J. @MsJohnson_Kisha This is a great point. We should model what we want to see. Many teachers keep a "What I'm reading now" display outside their classroom doors or a running list in the classroom.

Cluttered walls or bare walls? Here's how to strike a balance in classroom decorations to cultivate students' learning, engagement, and comfort.

Time is always moving on, Nothing can stop it. The question is whether we use our time properly or not. We can’t do anything about the past, but what happens in the future depends on what we do now.

Almost half of the GHG emissions comes from the way we produce and use everyday products. To achieve a zero-carbon prosperity, we must transform the way they are designed, produced, and used. The #circulareconomy is a powerful tool to help us do this.

Why might only 19% of teachers be using social media in the classroom? -Age limits of platforms for primary school teachers -Lack of control -Fear of students being exposed to certain content -Fear of students engaging with strangers -Parent concerns #EmpoweredDigitalLeaders

"What Social Media are you on and what will I learn about you if I go there?" FB(socially),Twitter (prof). Rarely post. Twitter: follow people to help w/ day-to-day teaching /inspire change in my practice. Pinterest for art projects and organisation. #EmpoweredDigitalLeaders

“How do you plan to 'level up' your digital leadership?” “There should be loads of great content if students go looking for us…” -Consider why/how/what I want to share -Consider who it is for -Keep posts authentic and relevant #EmpoweredDigitalLeaders
