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 🎉

What an age! Every one is dying, everything is dying, and the earth is dying also, eaten up by the sun and the wind. I don't know where I get the courage to keep on living in the midst of these ruins. Let us love each other to the end.

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

Learn about critical thinking, the dangers of cognitive offloading, how to encourage thinking rather than mindless doing.... it's got everything. There are even printable resources to use in your own classroom right away! #edusky #aiedu

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.

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?

On the plus side, I signed up, got a free month trial, got the book, and cancelled my subscription. So at least there’s no money for the evil overlord.

Something something ethical consumerism something something capitalism 🥸

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!)
