👕 #TechTShirtTuesday - this time it’s the shirt, not the company. Trust me. But… trust me how? Believe me? Trust the AI because I’m the one using it? Or trust that it’s a good thing? 🤔 Curious what others see in it. #EduGuardians #StayCurious

After a positive meeting with our Head last week, my fellow digital lead teacher and I are feeling very much like the “first cone out”, as described in the #Conefessions series by David Curran over on LinkedIn. 🚦 If you haven’t read them yet: 🔗 bit.ly/4pvS3CQ #TechTshirtTuesday #eduguardians

They say 3 is a magic number and with the #ListEd podcast from the lovely Kat Cauchi and Mark Anderson it really is. Here is the 3rd epidose from #ListEd featuring Ivan Langton. Well worth a listen when you get five precious minutes to yourself youtu.be/MRYTJokKsKg?... #netsupport #EduPodcast

It's more #TechtextbookTuesday than #TechTshirtTuesday but lifelong learning is at the heart of being an #Eduguardian so I reckon I'm okay with a cheeky inclusion of the latest book from @theaieducator.io Something in here for everyone. 🔗https://bit.ly/4pdHqnJ

Getting every student involved, from shoulder-dislocators in the front row to hiders in the back corner? #Curipod helps, with safe & moderated responses. Featured in The AI Educator’s Guide 2026 from @theaieducator.io 🔗 curipod.com 🔗 bit.ly/3I2z55F #TechTShirtTuesday #EduGuardians #EduSky

The 2nd @netsupport.bsky.social ListEd podcast is out! Not the first thing you think of, but tech sustainability matters. ❤️ Emma Darcy’s tip on reusing prompts & AI resources like you’d reuse a bottle. 🔗https://youtu.be/vA3B1AdOgpA?si=5xy6ce0lJzMW61PQ #ListEdPodcast #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIEdu

Quizzes aren’t just fun, they’re retrieval practice in disguise. A quick Teams challenge gives students the recall reps they need and the buzz of competition. That’s why I make space for @wayground.bsky.social quiz and give them a #TechTshirtTuesday shout out 👕 #EduSky #EduSkyAI #eduguardians

It’s #TechTshirtTuesday 👕 and #BriskTeaching 2.0 has to be the pick of the week Brisk Next is helping to help teachers spark lesson ideas. I like how you can bundle resources into scaffolded lessons while staying in control. 🔗 www.briskteaching.com/brisk-next #EduSky #EduSkyAI #Eduguardians #AiEdu

Not quite so high tech in my school 😆 (we use those big boxes for calculators in each room 🧮) but just as effective in reducing distractions in the classroom. S1 -S3 all putting phones in and system is working well. 😍 🔗https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czrvr7yl57yo #EduSKy #phones

I meant to get this one done yesterday but the day got away from me. I've returned to @briskteaching.bsky.social for this post and to their amazing new podcast option. #EduSky #EduSkyAI #AIwithAileen #EduAI #podcast 🔗 ai-aileen.com/f/the-return...

A comment made at the end of an online session this week has been buzzing about in my head all week - are teachers not using AI because they feel guilty using it? Does it make them bad teachers? Here is my attempt to convince you that no, it doesn't. #EduSkyAI 🔗 ai-aileen.com/f/getting-ov...

It is last day of term for me today but it does not feel like it at all. Why? I hear you ask 🤔 I will tell you why We have to come in tomorrow for an InService day!! 😠 #endofterm #teacherlife #EduSky #InService

You can now create podcasts to go along with your @briskteaching.bsky.social resources. You can even create a chatbot in Brisk Boost that uses the podcast. You know those moments that just get you excited to be in the classroom? This is one of them! 🙌 #EduSky #EduSkyAI #EduAI #podcasts

My S2 (12-13 years)class have been watching the Channel 4 show School Swap and I was wondering if there were any US teachers who have students of a similar age who would like to swap videos about life in their school with my students? #schoolswap #eduguardians #EduSky #USteachers #videodiary

It might be the last week of term but my colleague Gavin Morrison and I still had double digits turn up for our session on @diffitapp.bsky.social and @briskteaching.bsky.social as part of #LTAF2025 run by @fcqiteam.bsky.social. #EduSky #EduSkyAI #EDUAI #edtech #pedagogy #CPD

I was researching AI in Scottish schools today & found that Education Scotland has an AI Exploration Hub for teachers. Never heard of it? Me neither. Here it is: bit.ly/4iDklr1 A mix of resources, prompts & AI guidance—worth a look! #EduSky #EduSkyAI #EduScot #AiEdu #EdScot

This is something I am sure most teachers will have seen evidence of. 🔗https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c4g0rxz2yj4o Since Covid, school attendance seems to have become viewed as optional for many parents. It is nigh on impossible for a school to support a child if they are not in school #EduSky
