Oh I'm so jealous! I hope @collegeofteaching.bsky.social bring some to Belfast in September @womenednireland.bsky.social

This is hard to do without the context of how it was taught in class. It's easier to spot something AI when you know you hadn't described it that way in the first place.

Where was chocolate hobnobs?

It's been a busy weekend! I'd the privilege to attend @cceengland.bsky.social roundtable Leading for Creative Thinking in association with @collegeofteaching.bsky.social at @ulsteruni.bsky.social It was great to be in room with such inspiring and passionate educators @womenednireland.bsky.social

Some times it's the smallest of things, I forgot I'd packed left over cake last night. Now that I've finished marking my A-level course work, I can really enjoy it with my coffee.

"It was very informative, and it allowed me to reflect on what I know about cognitive science and do some further research on the topic." "The learning experience of using research to inform my practice is having such impact!" "I found the course to be really informative, personalised because you could choose a focus, enjoyable and useful in my school practice - I would definitely recommend!"

Here's what some members who were recently awarded the Certificate in Evidence-Informed Practice said about the course.

Yep! Lefty here (I'd do a waving emoji, but it's right handed 🙂)

Donegal does not disappoint! Lovely to get away for a few days during midterm to recharge the batteries.

I said goodbye and good luck to a fantastic PGCE student teacher after her first placement with us. We really need to hold on to these bright new talents in the long term. Teacher retention needs to be seriously addressed.

I've finally done it - deactivated and uninstalled X. Took ages to decide, but enough is enough.

As an adult, it's a continuous frustration yet with a bit of thought a lot of the difficulties can be easily over come. I always watch out for my leftie students, I know their pain in a right handed world!

What a beautiful morning for a new year walk to blow the cobwebs away! #HappyNewYear

Beautiful!

I've just finished this fabulous book! It's so enlightening and infuriating at the same time! I didn't realise how infrequently women were thought of or even considered. @womenednireland.bsky.social

My chemistree is up and running!

Just landed on our way to graduation tomorrow! @collegeofteaching.bsky.social

I'm so proud of Daniel as the first published author in the family! His short story has been included in this book!

The Sun definitely made an appearance today! What a beautiful sunset!

What a fabulous day at #womenedni unconference @womened.bsky.social I was delighted to be able to meet @alisonpeacock.bsky.social and listen to her keynote speech @collegeofteaching.bsky.social

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #6,221,400, Laura McAleer FCCT CTeach ‪@lauramcaleer.bsky.social‬, joined on Aug 23, 2024"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #6,221,400!

General leadership training would be useful, but then subject specific issues are also very important too, the likes of specific health and safety requirements. So a bit of both really!

Back to school means back to Saturday rugby mum. Shout out to 1st yr parents who may have a shock to the system this early sat morning 😴
