Huge cheers to our queens of the court 👑🎾 even though @clairecarroll.bsky.social decided I was her personal tennis target 🎯😂 ! Today reminds me what a fantastic department we are – smart, supportive, and only slightly dangerous with a racket! 💥 #STEMDreamTeam @miceducationfac.bsky.social

Great to see initial outputs on our department research study on Game Based Learning and STEM Education at the #EDEN2025 conference. Thanks to Aysegul Liman Kaban and Mairead Ryan ! @limankaban.bsky.social @m-ryan25.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social @micireland.bsky.social

Delighted to have worked with the brilliant Dr. Michelle Fitzpatrick on this paper — I learned so much from the thoughtful lens she brought to this research. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @michellefitzp.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social

Congrats to Dr. Michael McNamara (Dept STEM Ed, MIC) & Dr. Veronica McCauley on their paper representing a vital contribution to the discourse on assessment. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @ml-mcn.bsky.social @stem-mic.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social @micireland.bsky.social

Dive In! As part of an exciting new initiative, over 100 Galway pupils used VR + GenAI to explore ocean conservation. Huge thanks to our colleague @ml-mcn.bsky.social for leading this inspiring work @miceducationfac.bsky.social @micireland.bsky.social

Delivered my keynote today at #MASS25: “What Does GenAI Promise—and Conceal—in Education?” “The real issue isn’t whether to use GenAI—but how it transforms education.” #GenAI #AIinEducation #Ethics #DigitalLearning #STEM #MIC @stem-mic.bsky.social

Bugün #MASS25’te “GenAI Eğitimde Ne Vaat Ediyor, Ne Gizliyor?” başlıklı davetli konuşmamı yaptım. “Mesele GenAI’yi kullanmak değil, onun öğrenmenin doğasını nasıl değiştirdiğini anlamak.” #GenAI #EğitimdeYZ #Etik #YapayZeka

Our STEM Department colleagues immersed themselves in exploring virtual environments with VR headsets as part of @ml-mcn.bsky.social Dive In! project which aims to explore how VR and Gen AI can enhance teaching and learning. Well done everyone! @micireland.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social
