Weekends are for breathing! Calm skies above the Allan Water today. Kingfisher flashed by. Robins, heron, ducks, geese, magpies and a border terrier 🤗

#TutorsOnTour are we still doing this?! Off to Newhaven for a couple of Y4 visits. Frosty start and first tutor visit on the tram for me!

@ruthsmckay.bsky.social so you're now on Orkney?! Lucky, lucky you. Hope things are great. Slightly jealous I have to say!

Babies arguing in French has to be my favourite thing on the internet today😆 www.instagram.com/reel/DCpqNqZ...

Good day today. One paper accepted with minor revisions and excellent feedback comments from reviewers 1&2🤗 and another paper submitted. Happy me.

I LOVE being part of the #DialogicTeaching group with colleagues from Health and S-L Therapy at QMU. Great discussions drawing on research& focussing on how we can enhance our #HE practices to develop participation, oracy, communication& student voice. Today we used #WeNeedToTalk for our stimulus

This is interesting with @neilselwyn.bsky.social and Dan Krutha- AI criticality, technoscepticsm, and digital resistance in schools. Do young people have rights to resist technology in schools? www.buzzsprout.com/1301377/epis...
