Guess what? I’m on the @learningtechuk.bsky.social Social Media Team. You’re not surprised - I already told you. But it’s TOMORROW so I’m getting ready. I don’t know how to make a thread of things yet so I’ll be back later to practice. Eeeeek! Wish me luck!!!! #LT25UK
And just a reminder that conferences can be a lot. So if it all gets too much and you need a break you can check out the Sensory Quiet room which is new this year. An oasis in the hubbub of activity. If you need it, it’s all the way at the end (so away from the hive of activity) #LT25UK #Exhibition

I’m not at Learning Technologies Conference and Exhibition today (sad times) but yesterday I walked over 15k steps across the exhibition floor & in the thread below I will share my highlights & my faves across the day to help you navigate. There’s a lot going on! #LT25UK #Exhibition

I should also say that Dipesh @dipeshmistry.bsky.social & Thembi @thembiwatt.bsky.social also covered the Mandatory Training session. They’ll be using LinkedIn for their recaps so if you’re looking for more (or want to make sure that I did in fact cover all the things) check them out. #L1S1 #LT25UK

Next up I’m covering Mandatory Training Reimagined across the lunch break. In the world of #DEI where I spend most of my time, mandatory training is always a hot topic of discussion so I put my hand up for this session so fast. I was super keen. #L1S1 #LT25UK

My first task of the day is watching my amazing friends Fiona McBride @fionamcbride.bsky.social and Julie Drybrough
@writenights.bsky.social lead Connect, reflect, build: Shaping the future of your L&D career. I’m front row watching them prep right now like the stalker/fangirl I am. #T5S1 #LT25UK

It’s D-Day!!! Day 1 of Learning Technologies Conference and Exhibition and I am (clearly) ready to go! I’m going to list my Must-Pack items in a thread below, to give you this vital information of course - and not at all because I’m trying to practice what a thread would look like on here 😉 #LT25UK

It’s #Neurodiversity Celebration Week and I am celebrating. Several years ago on a lunch & learn session I realised I probably had #ADHD when the guest speaker described things that were totally me. Since then I’ve been diagnosed and learning myself. More shared on LinkedIn here tinyurl.com/teaexzmt

Boos! Learning Technologies is just over a month away. I’m on the social media team. Normally I use Twitter. But I deleted my account & said goodbye to all those juicy followers … you know why. So here I am trying to learn new social media & build an audience in a month. Help me! Any top tips?

I’ve gotten into #Lego as an adult & I find it so calming. Following instructions and getting to create something with your hands speaks to me. It’s one of my #mentalhealth & #selfcare tools & I talk about how it helps over on LinkedIn today tinyurl.com/y6xuh3cu. What are some of your tools?
