You can no longer be sacked. It's just that 'your role may be impacted'. #cuntspeak www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Just did a survey for my profession. Ouch guys. Just ouch... #EduSkyAU #LearningDesigners #WeJustGetBetterWithAge

Started watching Season 2 of NCIS Sydney. I know I have a low bar, but it's really good!! Well done @ncis.bsky.social #NCISsydney

Series 5 and I'm bawling my eyes out. So very grateful to see men no afraid to cry!!

OMG - only up to series 3 of the Great Pottery Throwdown and just...

After bingeing and exhausting all episodes of Great British Bake Off, Extra Slice and the Great British Sewing Bee I have just discovered the Great Pottery Throw Down! OMG thank you judge Keith Brymer Jones for showing it's OK to be emotional, esp for our boys! SO GOOD!!!!

I just... want... to... pin back... that fringe! #MasterChefAU

Last night we did a harbour cruise to enjoy Vivid. As we passed the Harbour Bridge, it was flashing rainbow colours with the Australian and Aboriginal flags flying on top and I was hit with how grateful I am to be living in this beautiful country that largely seeks to accept and understand others.

Such a privilege to get to see Sal Kahn speak. Loving this talk... #EDUtechAU

Brickman crying in every elimination absolutely floats my boat and sets me off too! How good is it for our young people to see its ok to cry... love Legomasters #legomastersAU

Every. Time... that Cadbury advert where she says "love you dad" through the service station mic. Hits me like a train. God I miss him.

Oh I've been waiting for this!!!

In my opinion, Marie-Jo Leroux has the best and most digestible videos for learning designers wanting to gamify their training. It takes a goldfish like me to properly validate this! #EduSkyAU #Gamification www.youtube.com/@MarieJoLeroux

Looking forward to talking about the current state of research in results of using gamification in vocational education at EDUtech_AU in a few weeks. #EDUtechAU #EduSkyAU #Gamification

Freaking forgot how much I love Slido!! Preparing my EDUtechAU presentation and I want the audience heavily involved! Hope to see you at my preso. #Gamification #EDUtechAU #EduSkyAU

Chip watch crew...

@doktrnick.bsky.social !!! Saw my first POwl in the wild today at Sea Acres Port Macquarie. Have heard them many times on fauna surveys and camping but never sighted.

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

@antonygreenelec.bsky.social you are a legend and will be missed! #binnight #auspol2025

Albo, I just clutched my heart.... Thank you - this is why you have won. #binnight #auspol2025

So, so proud to be an Australian.

If this were a drinking game, it would kill you quickly.

Finally watched series 7 of the Great Australian Bake Off. Bawling my eyes out... #CalWilson you were a shining star!!

Does anyone have Clive Palmer's mobile number handy? I'd like to forward on the bloody spam txt I just got. How is this even legal?! #auspol

It took me a while but finally able to watch Season 6 of The Great Australian Bake Off after losing the amazing Cal Wilson. The humanity of contestants, helping each other... this makes me so happy and warms my heart.

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Got an email today from my new employer saying they were ordering my name badge and wanted to check what my pronouns were. So excited to be starting with a company that genuinely cares xx

I know there's editing and stuff but it's like some of these people do not realise they are being filmed and have to re-enter life, jobs, society after some of their behaviour. #SurvivorAU

*googles pusillanimous

ooOOOoo... JLP is getting sick of this malarkey!! Understandable - quite the wild tactics.... #SurvivorAU

I presented last tuesday and it was so much fun!! The team are super-supportive and will step you through it. #EduSkyAU

Oh my wordy-me... AJ and Max - what the actual... #SurvivorAU

Q6 Last question! Not all gamified learning platforms and strategies are created equal. It's time to share what gamification tools, techniques or resources you like with your fellow #EduSkyAU colleagues. And remember... it doesn't need to be digital! 🕹️👾🎲🎮🃏 #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

OK... Boss level time - the final question coming... #EduSkyAU

Q5 As teachers, especially those you love to try new things, we all have those amazing moments when everything goes right along with those classic fails. What's your gamification woot woot moment or war story (or both!)? 🎲 #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

#EduSkyAU stay with us - two more questions to go and they are my favourite two!!

Q4 Halfway through and time to get to the nitty gritty! WHAT do you need to help you integrate gamification into your teaching and WHO do you need it from? 👾 #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

Q3 While the research mostly agrees gamification is pedagogically sound, many teachers are still not implementing it in their classrooms. What do YOU see has the three main blockers preventing teachers to use gamification with their students? 🃏 #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

Can I just say, I love how baby rug dog asleep is the top trending post for the #EduSkyAU hashtag!!

Q2 Next one! The research overwhelming supports that gamification increases participation and motivation, but does this actually translate to deeper learning? How effective have YOU found gamification in your educational context? And how did you know?! 🕹️ #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

Q1 Games, game based learning, serious games, gamification... have all been used for centuries to engage students. Let's start with the usual debate around definitions! How would YOU define gamification and what does it look like in your educational setting? #EduSkyAU @eduskyauteam.bsky.social

OK, here I go... preparing to drop my first question!! #EduSkyAU

Ok... I think I got this! 🎮🕹️

Testing, testing... 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 2...

Tap, tap... is this thing on? I'm just a girl... Doing some testing... 🎲🎮🕹️👾🃏 #EduTech @leghamlemming.bsky.social

My first go at hosting EduSkyAU - wish me luck!! #EduSkyAU

Sheesh - all caught up! What a cracker season! Full pelt from the start... #SurvivorAU

What an AMAZING example and use of technology and gamification to help save our Australian War Memorial archives! #GamiCon48V #Gamification #EduSkyAU transcribe.awm.gov.au

This in todays SMH. Pay attention Australia. Pay close attention...
