A5. Not quite a picture, more a motivational infographic. The word “yet” is powerful and can really turn around a person’s negative thoughts within a learning context. #LTHEChat

A4 - I think building a greater awareness of how important positivity is through having strengths-based discussions during PAT sessions and drawing on positive psychology principles such as PERMA and character strengths - make it structurally unavoidable. #LTHEchat

Join the #LTHEchat team and I tomorrow evening, Wednesday, 8-9pm GMT/ BST, as we explore Embedding mental wellbeing.

Whatever your role and whether you've thought about it before or are new to the concept, we can all consider embedding mental wellbeing so please do join the conversation.

Hi everyone, Chris here from the Midlands! Just catching up with the threads 🙂 #LTHEChat

I’d love to be able to sketchnote - I’m nowhere near creative enough 😔 #lthechat

A3. Your notes are for you - no-one else. As long as you can decipher them and draw meaning from them, any system will work. I think it is what works best for the individual 🙂

Bic pens all the way for me - the pastel colour ones #LTHEChat

A1. I’m a fan of a brand new notebook at the start of the academic year. I’ve tried OneNote but can’t get on with it. I always go back to good old pen/paper and highlighter pens + post-it tabs #LTHEChat

Me neither - I love the idea but I think I’m wedded to a nice notebook from Paperchase. #LTHEChat

Q1 - Warm-up question: what are your personal note-making conventions? For instance (but not exclusive to) systems you might use, quirks, structures, processes, abbreviations?

A6 I don't have a Radio Show, but have a Podcast called TalkingHE, runnimg for over 5 years, which has the tag line 'improving the dialogue between and beyond the sector to #makeEDUbetter' #LTHEChat creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

I'd listen to that! 🎧

Radio microphone and headphones.

Q6: If you had your own ideal radio show (for work), what would the short description of it be for potential listeners?

Oh my gosh, if I had a pound...😂

A4. I attended a conference recently that had ambient music playing in the background in a breakout session whilst the workshop lead was speaking...it was a little off-putting tbh - during breaks, yes... #lthechat

Great classroom management technique 🙂

A3. This is going back to my language teaching days - I used song lyrics to teach grammar and vocabulary. Students had to listen to the song and identify where the singer used a particular grammatical structure - students often left my class singing it on their way out of the door. #lthechat

Q3 What examples have you seen of music being used effectively to support or enhance teaching and learning?

A2. I have previously Co-authored a journal article where we used Pulp lyrics in the title. Then we saw people online saying doing this kind of thing is cringe. 🫣🤣 No regrets journals.cilip.org.uk/jil/article/... #LTHEchat

Too right bab 😂

A2. I'm from the Black Country so, with my accent, it's pretty hard to hide...so I embrace that side of my authentic self every day within my professional context. #lthechat

Q2 Where or when have you been prepared to ‘cross the line’ and bring your authentic self into the space of your professional identity?

Reply with A2 #LTHEChat and your response

La Vie en Rose...one of THE best films ever made!

That's quite a swing LOL! 😂

I love 60s and 70s, northern soul - I was the youngest of six and I was brought up listening to northern soul...can't dance to it though, sadly.
