VEO 3 now available to pro users in the UK. Pretty incredible according to Ernie, although he swears it wasn't him and he's been framed. So now Ernie and I are having a chat about the positive and negative potential of video generation with AI, and responsible use.

Thought for the day: Depending on the task in question, AI won't necessarily perform better than every human.... ....but it will perform significantly better than some.

These days, when you're bored waiting for your wife at the opticians, you can create some pretty good AI generated content on sketchy 4G. Looking forward to delivering more keynotes and workshops in the coming months. Prompt > Image > Video (ChatGPT and Sora)

Technology can sometimes become the scapegoat for wider frustrations in work and life. Quality coaching conversations can help to unpack these and often help find solutions that stretch beyond the tech. #coaching #sketchnote

This morning I got access to Manus. I tasked it with creating a teleprompter for me to use on web or mobile. With not very clear natural language I asked & received. Watch the replay manus.im/share/8HQ34o... Access the teleprompter below: csoncfab.manus.space

If you're getting bent out of shape about a photo of someone with dementia not looking like they did a few years ago, you need to give your head a wobble. Just because you're uncomfortable facing reality, doesn't mean you can pile in. Dementia is a cruel disease.

#aiineducation Thought for the day: The question is not whether AI can teach, but whether we can teach AI to teach wisely and effectively.

Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental just launched in AI Studio, so I took it for a quick spin while dinner's on. Might help me solve big problems, might save a few office plants 🪴 #AIinEducation #EduSky youtu.be/YCiiCvNXlOc

🎙️ Have you got to speak in public soon? Are you worried how you might come across? 😟 Imposter syndrome is real, right? 💡 How about using an LLM in voice mode for feedback while you rehearse? Try a prompt like this and then start speaking. #EduSky

Thought for the day: As adults, are many of us too focused on being replaced & therefore dismissive? Are we overly constrained by rules & norms? Does the creativity of youth & the willingness to explore AI mean the next generation are actually more likely to make us redundant than AI itself?

Thought for the day: As much as I am optimistic about AI in education, it's important to carefully consider where, how and more importantly WHY we might use it. We certainly don't want to use it everywhere, all the time. #sketchnote #responsibleuse #edusky

The smart device battle rages on. I’m an advocate of teaching responsible use but I also appreciate where schools are at. If schools ban smartphones, parents lack the tools or knowledge to teach responsible use, but employers expect it…..who builds the bridges? #sketchnote #smartphones #EduSky

I've decided to start a substack (cheaper than a Ferrari when you're mid-life in a cost of living minefield). The first article is about how created a visual story for my granddaughter over breakfast. #EduSky You can read it and subscribe here: rangaedu.substack.com/p/once-upon-...

I always enjoy delivering workshops for colleagues. I am forever grateful that I get these opportunities at Lift Schools and beyond. The session this week was a particular joy because it took me back to my MFL roots with a new AI related focus. Me siento muy satisfecho.

An AI assisted storybook created in under 8 minutes using AI studio & @canva. I may add some audio to each page at some point, or I may not. #dachshund #AIineducation

I've had a go at using #AI Studio to generate a visual story. Not perfect & it can get stuck due to community standards -scene 3 (not a bad thing at all in my book, but you can adjust the default settings if you wish). A) Wow, pretty impressive B) Hmm, how might Clifford feel about this? #EduSky

A real pleasure to deliver AI training to #MFL colleagues from Lift Schools this afternoon. #Edusky We explored how AI tools might enhance teaching & learning for pupils, and reduce workload for teachers. Catch the gist in this short, AI-assisted podcast here: open.spotify.com/episode/0vLn...

As Mustafa Suleyman suggests in The Coming Wave, whether you embrace AI or try to avoid it there is Risk as a final destination. How we mitigate against the risks comes down to contextual awareness that we won't get from burying our heads in the sand. #AIineducation

Tomorrow I get to reunite with my kind of people at our Lift Schools East regional MFL INSET. As a former teacher of 🇪🇸, 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 for many, many years, I'm really looking forward to sharing with colleagues how responsible AI can enhance learning in and beyond the MFL classroom.

Thought for the day: Is AI widening gaps or helping to close them? With students permitted to use AI by exam boards, what are we doing to ensure all students have access to this opportunity? How are we teaching them to use AI appropriately? #AIineducation #sketchnote

Thought for the day: Should we hold technology to a higher standard than we do ourselves? Is it ok to expect tech to be flawless? When making decisions about tech, we might be inclined to insist on 100% accuracy or reject it. Is that a reasonable decision?

Ahead of #SaferInternetDay tomorrow, I've updated this guide on smart phone & App controls for parents. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Fantastic insights from @rangaedu.bsky.social - The AI Revolution: A Chance to Rewrite the Script. 🤩 Love the quote: "Necessary for some but useful for all." 🙌🏼 Unfortunately, the video of our quick chat is too long to share here, but I assure you it was great! 😅 #Bett2025 #AI #Inclusion #EdTech

Which camp are you in? #aiineducation

I'm really excited to be presenting again this year at Bett Global for @Canva. Come and see me on Thursday at 2pm at booth SN20 to find out how Canva Whiteboards can level up your classroom. Find out more here: lnkd.in/e3Tk6CfV #EduSky

Thought for the day: If the tool doesn't enhance what you or pupils could do independently, it's probably not worth your time or theirs. Useful to remember for all of us, but especially as BETT approaches. #EduSky

Thought for the day: Should our focus be less about AI in education, that cat is out of the bag, and more about education in AI? 🤔 #EduSky
