- @JLJbusinessed We used these in a High School last week and my class abso loved it. Going to have to invest in them. #ukedchat
- A2 @ukedchat @OLewis_coaching @ey_inspiration1 teaching @teachBTEC Public Services bringing in a range of PS personnel #UKEdChat

- @nicklapthorn Although, if we're talking real world, isn't tech a phenomenal part of that now? #ukedchat
- @ey_inspiration1 @ukedchat @MrPatelsawesome @keran77 @terjepe easier said than done at times,especially with the time constraints #ukedchat
- @MrBReading Important to have a little non-school fun everyday! Hope the placement goes well. #ukedchat
- A4 @ukedchat @ey_inspiration1 @MrPatelsawesome @keran77 used @DigimapColleges for route planning then did the route for real #UKEdChat
- @year6missNW absolutely, but too often using the tech becomes the 'purpose' and not the 'tool'. #ukedchat
- @year6missNW definately!! They are so good! Student reactions make my day! #ukedchat #amazedstudents #missdoesthatreallyexist
- @year6missNW what did learn today? We used the computers.... #ukedchat
- A4 twitter can be great for this, engage with authors, scientists, historians. We put ideas for space tourism to @virgingalactic #ukedchat
- @nicklapthorn definitely. We need to use them smarter, make it clearer that the purpose is the learning #ukedchat
- Interesting as I think there's a possible link between #fieldstudieschat and #UKEdChat today - getting the real world in to learning
- @bilingual_bees @JLJbusinessed well the boxes are only £5 to buy, it's the phone that goes inside! #ukedchat
- @eduk8harvey real life real time - that's important too #ukedchat A4
#UKEdChat Q5. How can the school community provide real world context and an audience for pupils? Remember to use the hashtag in your tweets pic.twitter.com/4RdfCQUo00- @eduk8harvey yes definately do! A great way of virtual reality in the classroom, kids love it, #ukedchat
- @hengehall great idea, I need to get my class asking questions via Twitter! #UKEdChat
- @year6missNW exactly. Why they need to become invisible to the learning. As everyday as the board (or teacher?) #ukedchat
- @MrBReading Blogging about books sounds a bit school-ish to me. 🤔Is the bad snooker played in school? #ukedchat
- @JLJbusinessed @ey_inspiration1 @ukedchat @keran77 @terjepe massively true ! Easier said than done #ukedchat
- @terjepe @ey_inspiration1 @ukedchat @MrPatelsawesome @keran77 I'm in Spain! Teaching life in the UK is very busy though yes, #ukedchat

- @Mr_RichTea Also, the more they're trusted, the more they will be responsible. OR maybe i'm being optimistic! #ukedchat
- This is what we need, teaching skills and also compassion for others! #ukedchat https://twitter.com/ey_inspiration1/status/834867069715890176 …
- Indeed Richard - Definite way to bring in more professionals into the classroom - virtually #ukedchat https://twitter.com/Mr_RichTea/status/834866818074423296 …
- @ey_inspiration1 what a great idea, I bet they pupils love the ownership of that task! #UKEdChat

- @nicklapthorn @DTW_Education @The_GA taking kids to @OutwardBoundUK and sch can pay because of a bursary, worth chatting? #ukedchat
- @JadeFahie What do you consider true real world context? What is the cut-off age range for doing this easily/well? #ukedchat
- @JadeFahie [Peeked at your bio] How does this fit into Mastery? #ukedchat
- @Mr_RichTea No one else is going to do it from recent experience! #ukedchat
- A6 @ukedchat @ey_inspiration1 @MrPatelsawesome @keran77 @terjepe @MrBReading @year6missNW @Elizabethutch role play has a value #UKEdChat
- @ukedchat @MrPatelsawesome @keran77 @terjepe @MrBReading I would say keep it real and meaningful #UKEdChat
A quick extra question: Providing real world context can be a lot of work for the teacher. Is the pay-off worth it? #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/O9LOZoHRMY- If you're looking to change up your classroom, take a look #experimental #ukedchat https://twitter.com/TeacherToolkit/status/834849313150947328 …
