Counting Crows' Rain King crops up on my listening list every September with Buble/Xmas like inevitability.

Does this include all the temporary ones for students who have forgotten theirs?

I use a password manager, which helps with my various accounts.

The 'being in my mind forties' system knows that I'm pretty much broken most days.

Some nights there should be a bonus for just opening the front door.

11k midweek threshold and 14k including parkrun yesterday made today's 'easy' 10 miler anything but.

All that plus a zwift hill climb on Tuesday and my Garmin is still not satisfied!

Has a technologist ever had a correct opinion about education?

NPR @npr.org · Sep 7

Technologist Victor Riparbelli sees a future where students interact with AI avatars rather than read and write. We ask teachers and kids what they think and how they're using AI right now.

Will AI avatars eventually teach our kids?

Also this weird misconception that public sector workers aren't taxpayers too. Anyone want to see the deductions on my payslip? Plus, I've got no choice about manipulating how I'm paid to minimise tax. That's as it should be, but it should be the same for everyone.

Assuming you get the same odd looks from the rest of the dept as I do? (I share an office with science, so actually have people to talk to at lunch)

Then halfway through the video had the 'oh of course' moment.

Andy Colley @mracolley.bsky.social · Sep 4

Excellent clue today. Got it by pure guesswork and had to watch the video to see why.

Andy Colley @mracolley.bsky.social · Aug 31

Wouldn't say it if it wasn't true! Excellent work.

That's what makes an expert teacher. Seeing connections everywhere. Examples that help explanations that help students build schema.

As a fully paid up member of the bass players' union I have that thought at every gig we play. Just replace 'same side' with 'other' and add 'too' at the end.

And this is why I'm not listening. Once that particular genie is out of the bottle, it's not going back in.
