A good book with a more than decent pint in Neary's... a not-too-shabby bank holiday Sunday evening.

We have to discuss environmental implications of AI! Not spoken about enough unfortunately. We have a duty to inform ourselves and our students of these ethical issues and model good practice. Do we have to use AI for every post, lesson, image generation? #edchatie oecd.ai/en/wonk/how-...

Freaky speed from Gleeson here. Breaks off the side of the scrum, runs 45m keeping up with outside backs and then makes the turnover. 6'4, 115kg - mutant stuff. #SUAF

Sweet Jesus... I don't think I can listen to this kind of rubbish for four years...

Today's youngest college students face a scary future. They tend to be risk-averse and distrust administrators and faculty members. Colleges that help them feel connected will flourish and contribute to a thriving society. chroni.cl/4j1HP9X

OMG, it is fitting.

We've had a great response to our survey so far but would appreciate help to spread the word to teachers in the UK. Please feel free share with interested colleagues ➡️ bit.ly/3CcD3Fu Many thanks for the reposts.💐
