We must be overdue a catchup! Funnily enough, I’m running a DT workshop next week and that activity will feature!
A lovely surprise to see @azumahcarol.bsky.social pop up in the Knowledge Equity Network video I've been watching on Perspectives on Educational Equity.
(A video I'd recommend: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeWu...)

A growing problem. Something that frustrates me as an educator and parent too, as much as we encourage reading and limit screen time, the screen continues to draw attention.
A great article focused on the international student experience, with some interesting reflections on how to ensure students still get the most out of their time in the UK once post-study visas are shortened. #AcademicSky #HigherEd #LTHEchat @hepi-news.bsky.social

‘How to share books with children to help them love reading’
I think shared reading, both at home and in the classroom, may be one of the most important human acts. More, more, more is better.

This is first and foremost where the focus of the story should be. Of men, misogyny, and power.
I have always specifically hated this part of my city and the world, the "gentleman's clubs" that are sadly part of the same thing.

A busy free days in London for work, research and pleasure. Highlights will be visiting RSA House, our #JLDHE Annual Away Day and some annual leave for the Design and Disability Exhibition at the V&A.
Highlights of the train journey so far: watching three farmers herd a bull of the tracks.

Another great read from HEPI's blog: What government policy still fails to understand about international education.

More than 800,000 under-5s on social media... That is a problem. The constant unsupervised social media use by children is one of the most significant problems of our time - and it is starting earlier than most people would like to think. #socialmedia #earlyyears

Amazing 😂
Juries are not perfect.
Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.
But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.
They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.
Since stopping dependent visas for taught students, I’ve seen many families split - leaving young children with families - so a parent can get the higher education they need to provided the best future for their families.
That is tragic.
The super super sad thing…
Right now money speaks. And if the political powers *really* want to see economic development - then they need to acknowledge the opportunity from international students AND their families.
Reducing dependent visas shrank our economy.
… and I have so much pride to see some of our graduates staying in our city - supporting some of the most vulnerable children and families.
I get so frustrated by any anti-international students rhetoric. We should be so thankful for what we gain — and what they gain and take back into the world.
Totally agree @choroniven.bsky.social. I live in Hull and have seen our international students bring so much to our city. Gentrifying neighbourhoods; enriching our teaching by sharing their experience/perspectives; working in schools & care homes; and generally bringing much joy to my working life.
Don’t forget to join us tomorrow for #LTHEchat, which will explore ‘Meeting students where they are: Making independent study work for every learner’ with Nikita-Marie Bridgeman ( @nbridgeman.bsky.social ) on Wednesday, 8-9 pm GMT. Read the blog post at: shorturl.at/jzhWE
From a very biased perspective, the analysis suggests that in Yorkshire and the Humber, international students contribute £2.9 billion to the economy.
I worry any levy will risk this.

Another excellent blog from #HEPI, focused upon the economic benefits driven by international students within the UK.

First Christmas cup of the year #Costa
I've had a wonderful time attending #HumberResearch2025, the 8th annual research conference from the Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust. I was looking to make connections around wellbeing through nature connection, and have absolutely met that goal. So many synergies over #health & #education.
The call for papers is open to all NTFs AND aspiring NTFs, CATE AND aspiring CATE winners for the Association of National Teaching Fellows Symposium 2026.
