Great Local Groups meeting on AI just now ! Thank you to all who organised this and especially to those who presented -it was really informative😊 @re-mcgee.bsky.social @jigsaweducation.bsky.social @karenza.bsky.social @chrisnatre.bsky.social

#TeamRE although the focus here is Geography, so much applies to RE. I’m not sure if things really are worse or if being older makes it feel that way, but we certainly need to help kids to navigate what can seem like a desperate state of affairs www.tes.com/magazine/tea...

I always find listening to Steven Pinker helps me feel a bit better www.bbc.co.uk/videos/crgk6...

Pope Francis used his final public address to call for a ceasefire in Gaza: “Unarmed civilians are subjected to bombings and shootings. It is terrorism.” Even in hospital, he checked in daily on Gaza’s Christian community. The world has lost a brave voice for peace and justice.

NEW! Today on Myatt & Co: Do we really need research on learning the curriculum? Yes, we do! But the paradox is that we intuitively know a lot of what works in any case. So it’s really helpful when what we know works is also backed up by the cognitive science. /1
