If you can see it. You can be it.

I always think this is so important. Surround yourself with people who are going in the direction you want to get to. #quoteoftheday

It’s fascinating to observe the various strategies HEIs use to boost student participation in the #NSS. From incentivised campaigns and personalised outreach to gamification and peer-led promotion, the approaches to promoting the NSS vary widely. What works?

Curriculum Chunking

Here is an image I created to prompt curriculum creators to breakdown their content into bitesized pieces. Sometimes less is more when it comes to planning lessons/sessions! #curriculum #learningdesign #AIArt #aieducation #AIEd #AITeachknology #teachknology

Just some on my thoughts and reflections on "love it or hate it" when it comes to AI and education #education #AIED #highered #studentlearning #lessonsandmore

Those of us with some privilege need to cause some ripples and waves as programs, policies that target diversity, equity and inclusion. Don’t obey in advance. #WomenEd @womened.bsky.social

Absolutely have seen this firsthand with some edtech startups. Where when in fact, given the emphasis is on ‘education’ and then ‘tech’ in the portmanteau that is ‘edtech’, it should really be informed by experience within education first of all rather than being led by technology #edtech #education

The importance of the ability to identify, gather and present, accurate and balanced facts for effective and accurate storytelling remains important. No matter who is doing the reporting #news #journalismskills #newsfluencers #storytelling

Ahh, the three spires of home.

Interesting thoughts on the issue and concept of extra time for assessment for students. This is a challenge for students and pupils at all stages of their education where they are undertaking summative assessments. #assessment #reasonableadjustment #extratime

Happy new year greetings

Best wishes for a happy, healthy 2025! Enjoy the journey! #HappyNewYear #Happy2025

The greatest gift is time with friends and family.

While deep in the dark days of December, it feels poignant to take some moments to reflect on the path ahead. #reflect #pathways #journey

Teens, Social Media and Technology 2024 Nearly half of U.S. teens (46%) say they're on the internet almost constantly. YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat remain widely used by teens.

This is good news. I stopped posting on Twitter a couple of years ago but missed the good old days of what that space gave professional practitioners and academics alike. Am looking forward to #LTHEchat 2.0!

After over 10 years, this Wednesday at 8pm GMT #LTHEchat will take place in Twitter X for the final time.

We look forward to bringing our weekly #LTHEchat here to Bluesky in the new year. Our incoming organising team for 2025 are already preparing for this!

Totally concur: a fair shot, equal opportunities in education, less gatekeeping.

Delighted to be here on Blue Sky Social. I love a story, stories of experiences and journeys. So am interested to see and read about other people's stories and talk more about my work.
