Wonderful to spend yesterday afternoon celebrating ten years of Our Migration Story, an unrivalled online resource for teachers and students to learn about migration’s centrality to the making of modern Britain. Congrats to all who made OMS possible — felt urgent and energising

Excellent workshop and 10-year anniversary celebration yesterday @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social for that marvellous open access teaching resource, Our Migration Story. Shout out to the team that conceptualised and orchestrated it years ago & for fostering its growth to @runnymedetrust.bsky.social

New blog: The Wrong Terrain: LLMs and Education Or, why getting a Gramsci quote wrong shows that humans can make LLM-level mistakes too (and that is fine) and why it is always helpful to know your onions about schools before talking in moral absolutes. www.nickdennis.com/blog/2025/10...

My response to the Forbes piece titled 'Why Agency is the New Literacy' in relation to LLM use in schools. Essentially, we need to think more about the structures we operate in. A respectful disagreement with colleagues who I admire a great deal! nickdennisnrd.substack.com/p/agency-is-...

What might Karl Marx, writing over a century ago, have to say about how we use and think about LLMs today? With term starting shortly, I'm finishing prep for upcoming discussions with my A-level Politics class. When teaching ideologies, the question always is: how relevant are key thinkers today?

Just bought this book for my eldest! @alomshaha.bsky.social

If you use AI in your school and have not read this book, you should. The critical view on how AI has been developed and sold will create questions about how it aligns with your school vision, notions or fairness and safeguarding practices.

Tax seems to occupy a strange position in British political discourse at the moment, but I think it is a great opportunity for A-level Politics students to discuss ideas of wealth, the economy, current UK government spending and media discourse. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Some of my fave photos from #SHP25 - #historyteacher s getting excited about the power of history teaching. Such a wonderful chance to share ideas about making school history meaningful to young people! Thanks to everyone who came as delegates, presenters, exhibitors, and those who made it possible.

Could edtech and AI in education be imagined otherwise?
