Who’s out at #EducationFest today? My first time speaking at a UK conference after a couple of years abroad. Exciting and daunting. Would love to catch up with folk new and old!

Oddly specific advice: if you’re ever worried about travelling halfway around the world on a plane with your pets… just check out these two goobers two days after their hell flight from Shanghai. They’ve just discovered carpet and birds and couldn’t be happier 🎉

Do you think this op ed title will be accepted by the magazine editors? Asking for a friend...

I'm not often on Bluesky these days as my longer waffles are more common on LinkedIn, but did you know I recently published a course called Thinking with AI? It's all about improving metacognition in the classroom with AI. Check it out here: thinking-edtech.teachable.com/p/thinking-w...

New boss: So how are you going to get the cats back to England? Me: Drug them, put them under the seat in front of us on the plane, then get someone to drive us across the border from France to England NB: hah nice [an hour later] NB: okay but back to the cats, what’s the actual plan? Me:

Look, if they’re going to tell me I can’t read it, I 1000% am going to read it. (And yes I do see the irony of using Audible to do this… four months to go until I’m back in the UK and can finally access a library again!)

Our head of marketing took a lot of photos on the night but these are the only ones I care about 💪🏻🙌🏻🎉

When I promise to update my husband on the two important things happening today; the China school awards and tickets to the sumo in London going on sale 😂🎉

Living the dream, two new laser engravers working non stop since their arrival on Monday! First up, a few tests, some art deco style gothic Operation games, and some very snazzy artist statement displays for our IB art exhibition!

When all the goodies arrive for the next makerspace project and it’s time for a quick prototyping sesh… next up, Year 6 with their AI co-teacher Frankenstein operation games!! (Dang, what a mouthful…) #edusky

Nothing better than walking into the makerspace today to find our new Bambu printers already set up and benchy’d 🥰🥰 We have the BEST EdTech assistant! (Also if benchy’d isn’t a word, it is now!) #makerspace #edusky

“Process and expectations go hand in hand … teachers should break down the process with students and for students.” Time for @mralexedtech.bsky.social presenting on writing with AI, and is already off to a good start! #EdTechGZ

“What’s the point in reinventing the wheel? In saying: that wheel looks nicer, I want that one?” Serious wisdom again from @drshannondoak.com talking about how and when to integrate new tech in your school #EdTechGZ

Next session is a pretty packed panel featuring @drshannondoak.com and more! Love this point from the head of Shanghai American School: “What we’re all aiming for - student empowerment, agency, collaboration - is not what’s measured in tests”

First #EdTechGZ session with @mgwalchmai.bsky.social - Making Making Matter. Getting lots of ideas for how to adjust our MakerEd programme at DCSPX. Love the amount of integration with curriculum going on!

So excited to finally be at #EdTechGZ after all these years! Bring on a day of learning and hanging out with all my internet EdTech people!

Guess who’s making it to #EdTechGZ after all this time? It meeeee!

Look, I'm not saying that I have a terrible habit of working on workshop presentations the night before I'm supposed to run said workshops... but I'm not NOT saying it!

I committed myself to the most ridiculous December challenge: an #edtech #innovation and #makerspace advent calendar aimed at getting cross-curricular STEM happening for all age groups. First up, laser cutting contour maps in #geography class. Let me know if you give it a go! #EduSky

Having some fun testing the 3D scanning app from @niantic.bsky.social to scan some makerspace furniture in the hopes our primary school students can do their own scans and 3D model some redesigns! Just gotta get better at scanning the gaps too… #edtech #EduSky

Two absolutely top notch books that I recommend to anyone stepping into the #EdTech coaching sphere. Thought it’d be worth sharing with everyone else as it’s recruitment season in the international school world! Do you have any other books you’d recommend to an EdTech coaching newbie? #EduSky

If you're anything like me, you collect random articles, images, and screenshots that you're determined to go back to later... only you never do. I've been using a tool called mymind for almost a year now and it has really been a game-changer for staying on top of things!

In the complete opposite to my usual quest for fun new tech, have any of #edtech friends experimented with #dumbphones or Japanese-style #keitai phones? Exploring new ways to stop the doomscrolling (which I know is ironic as I post on bsky...)

The legendary @apapaseit.bsky.social in the flesh!

I finally downloaded Bluesky to my phone and I’ve just been scrolling happily through #EduSky for half an hour. It feels like the good old days of short form edu things online are back 🥹

Teamwork makes the dreamwork in #edtech world. Teachers in Y3 asked about using AI with students. After introducing them to schoolAI, I was blown away when I went into a classroom and saw students interviewing an AI Qin Shi Huang and then writing profiles about him in their books 🎉 #EduSky

15k steps a day and 15k new things to learn... that's right, it's @learning2worldwide.bsky.social conference time happening at Dulwich College Shanghai Puxi. What a great experience already and still another day to go 🙌🙌🙌 #edusky #learning2

Ok, after the master chief @leonfurze.bsky.social has moved over here and a whole bunch followed, I feel like most of the interesting education chat is happening here now. Looking for EdTech and general education #EduSky type folk to follow!

ok i'm here please be the app we all use, i'm sick of changing apps all the time
