  • Episode #49 | Steven Payne - Design Thinking in Action: How Students Solve Real Problems
    2025/05/04
    Here are the key takeaways from your podcast episode with Steven: Game-Based Learning Builds Real Skills - Minecraft and similar games foster critical 21st-century skills like resilience, collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving. Unlike traditional lessons, students persist through challenges because they’re immersed and motivated. Design Thinking Empowers Student Voice - Design thinking allows students to define real-world problems, ideate solutions, and test their ideas—giving them ownership of the entire process. This approach promotes empathy, iterative learning, and purposeful creation. Minecraft as an Inclusive Learning Tool - Minecraft Education is widely accessible in Australian schools and suits all year levels—from Year 1 to Year 12. It lowers the barrier to entry and can highlight strengths in students who may not normally excel in traditional settings. Wellbeing Themes Come to Life - Projects like the Growing With Gratitude theme park in Minecraft showed how empathy and gratitude can be embedded into engaging digital environments, helping students internalise wellbeing lessons in a meaningful way. Teachers Don’t Need to Be Minecraft Experts - Teachers can focus on setting meaningful learning goals, while students lead the way with technical know-how. With structured lesson libraries and curated worlds, it's easy to start small and integrate Minecraft meaningfully into the curriculum.

  • Episode #48 | Brett Salakas - Raw, Resilience, Recovery, and the Power of Educator Connections
    2025/04/27
    In this powerful episode with Brett Salakas, we explore his remarkable journey from personal hardship to becoming one of the world’s most influential educators. Brett shares how authentic connection, purposeful technology, and embracing challenge can unlock true potential — for both students and teachers — while offering deep insights into wellbeing, leadership, and the future of education. Key takeaways: From Rock Bottom to Global Impact: Brett shares how losing everything — including his home, identity, and confidence — led him to rediscover his love for teaching. Living in a men’s shelter while acting as a school principal, he began tweeting from rock bottom, which became the foundation of the #aussieED movement. The Power of Connection: #aussieED grew from one man tweeting alone to a 20,000-strong weekly education network. Brett shows how authentic connection and shared purpose can transform isolation into global influence. Wellbeing Through Challenge: Using the metaphor of a rugby front rower and a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, Brett powerfully explains how challenge and discomfort are essential to developing true resilience — in both life and learning. Tech as an Enabler of Potential: Brett shares the story of a student with autism who, thanks to voice-to-text tools, moved from struggling to write a sentence to earning a PhD in physics. It’s a clear example of how thoughtful use of tech can unlock potential and wellbeing. World Exclusive Book Reveal: Brett announced his upcoming book, F-AI-ble — a collection of Aesop-style fables that explore complex AI-in-education issues in bite-sized, reflective stories designed for teachers and school leaders. Wellbeing Meets Technology: From sentiment analysis to proactive interventions, Brett shares examples of how tech can support student mental health — but emphasises the importance of balance, context, and ethical use. Global Lessons, Shared Struggles: Despite cultural and system differences, Brett highlights the universality of teaching challenges — and the importance of supporting each other as “brothers and sisters in the same trench.” Call to Action: Brett invites educators doing innovative things to reach out — especially if they’re looking to amplify their impact through partnerships like HP’s Reinvent the Classroom initiative. Plus much more.
