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?

29. About Time by @alomshaha.bsky.social and Rebecca Struthers
What is time? It turns out the answer to that is more complicated and more interesting than I had realised. Fascinating range of facts complemented with gorgeous illustrations by Lucy Rose.

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.

Few radical ideas in education translate to reality, so the @nsota.bsky.social is surprising.

Maximum fees under two thousand pounds (it also operate a pay what you can model), individual supervision and a very different assessment model/curriculum for higher education. www.nsota.org/home

In collaboration with October Gallery London, we offer an affordable, experimental education and a radical alternative to mainstream university.

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.

I know history teachers are bound by all kinds of rules. I do wonder how we will collectively respond when this history is taught in the future.
