Quite often it's not falling but being pushed. No matter what, get back up, stand up taller and stronger 💪 “Life is not about how many times you fall down. It's about how many times you get back up.” - Jaime Escalante Hope and survival are the name of the game. Happy weekend folks❣️

Sometimes, it's important to put everything on hold, to do the things that truly ground you❣️🌟

Blessings come in different forms. My new workspace renders staff and students inbuilt time for mindfulness ~ “Spatzio reflection time” and wonderful views. ♡

Four more work days before my next move! Keep your eyes peeled for interesting Food Technology related updates and nudges for collaborations. #STEAM #IFHE #NPD

The moment a squirrel stops to smell a flower [📸 Dick Van Duijn] This weekend, try be this squirrel. Stop to smell a flower, hug a tree, go for a walk or just chill. But remember to stop.🌼🌺🌸

Good timing, I may just use this with my Food Technology students for their NPD project.

A must-read!

I’m yet to see the pruning principle in effect as more and more gets piled upon educators to do. Whatever happened to the “out with the old and in with the new”? Can you think of one practice that was pruned before a new one was introduced?

Thanks for the mention @tagtiv8.bsky.social Can’t believe it’s was that long ago that we were having a discussion in person. You’ll have to come visit again. Dinner’s on me!

Welcome to my temporary classroom! #MLE

It was a pleasure to run into you today @maurieabraham.bsky.social I’ve special respect for leaders who are not only accomplished but also immensely humble. You embody the true qualities of a leader, Maurie. He rei ngā niho, he parāoa te kauwae. Hope to see you on your next visit.

Turning your phone to Greyscale is said to reduce your screen time. Try it and let me know yay or nay after a week. 📉 Go to Settings app Tap Accessibility Select Display & Text size Tap on Colour Filters Figure out the rest 😃

2025 is all go, two new jobs and a brain full of ideas. 🧠💡

Looking forward to connecting and learning @xpateducator.bsky.social

What advice do you have for preservice teachers starting their student teaching placements? #EduSky #EdChat

I walk Oreo for 45 minutes, the other 45 I spend being his PR person. He’s become quite the celebrity 🐶. I have a few requests from people, today someone wanted to click a photo of him. No wonder, Oreo doesn’t want to leave the park and I’ve to carry him back.

Getting back to work after a long mindfulness break can be intimidating. A reminder: “One step at a time. Baby steps are still steps. Crawl if you must, but keep moving forward. You will never be defeated as long as you keep moving.” Toni Sorenson

AI generated images, ads, posts, books are everywhere. Learning more about AI applications recently means I can spot them right away! Still like the organic way of doing things…the long tedious way.

Have come a long way from being a perfectionist and I’m loving the imperfections. It’s freeing when you let go.

I find that the best professional learning and development has often been in my own time, space and pace. Today it’s all about igniting curiosity and exploring the possibilities. www.aiforeducation.io

I’m mighty impressed with the #AIFestivus crew and community @annemurphyai.bsky.social The learning continues beyond the conference. The AI Salon is always buzzing and productive. Vikki Baptiste is just fabulous.

Work life balance is not as easy as it seems especially for teachers. One is more likely to be compromised. You know which one it is, right? 🤪 Here’s a wee reminder…

Feels like whatever I can ask here I can ask AI. Can Imagine #INZpirED being a different ball game altogether. So much has changed in the last 5 years @sunnythakral.bsky.social

Work mode activated, it’s taking over my life already. Time for a yoga break. Enjoy whatever it is you’re doing today.

I have a celebrity follower, yeah right! 2025 is bringing in some models to my DM.

So far, so good! Hope to sustain this work life balance. Walks with Oreo are the best!

I’m so looking forward to this! #EmpowerED

I have a habit of taking notes and jotting down my ideas and thoughts in a diary. It all makes sense until I go back to action them later. I’ve pages and pages of jumbled mess. This is where ai tools may come in handy. Please drop your suggestions for tools I could use in the future.
