At the Erasmus+ DataSETUP event exploring how data science can enrich teacher education. From “Interrogating Messy Data”
in the tech industry, to “Teaching Machines, Teaching Future Citizens” on AI, ethics & bias - both workshops highlight how critical data literacy is for future teachers #DataSETUP

Having fun with SenseBox this morning at the International Association of Statistics Education conference in the University of Münster - lots of possibilities for #IntegratedSTEM

Dr. Ayşegül Liman Kaban presents at the ATEE conference about her MIXAP project focusing on the democratization of mixed content creation for teachers through AI and VR @stem-mic.bsky.social @limankaban.bsky.social

Dr. Michelle Fitzpatrick speaks about the value of using STEM storylines to support the identity work of integrated STEM teachers at the ATEE conference @michellefitzp.bsky.social @stem-mic.bsky.social

Conversations on the complexities of developing STEM teacher educator identity - Dr Anne O’Dwyer @stem-mic.bsky.social

Huge cheers to our queens of the court 👑🎾 even though @clairecarroll.bsky.social decided I was her personal tennis target 🎯😂 ! Today reminds me what a fantastic department we are – smart, supportive, and only slightly dangerous with a racket! 💥 #STEMDreamTeam @miceducationfac.bsky.social

Great to see initial outputs on our department research study on Game Based Learning and STEM Education at the #EDEN2025 conference.

Thanks to Aysegul Liman Kaban and Mairead Ryan ! @limankaban.bsky.social @m-ryan25.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social @micireland.bsky.social

Delighted to have worked with the brilliant Dr. Michelle Fitzpatrick on this paper — I learned so much from the thoughtful lens she brought to this research. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @michellefitzp.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social

Congrats to Dr. Michael McNamara (Dept STEM Ed, MIC) & Dr. Veronica McCauley on their paper representing a vital contribution to the discourse on assessment. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Dive In! As part of an exciting new initiative, over 100 Galway pupils used VR + GenAI to explore ocean conservation. Huge thanks to our colleague @ml-mcn.bsky.social for leading this inspiring work @miceducationfac.bsky.social @micireland.bsky.social

Delivered my keynote today at #MASS25:
“What Does GenAI Promise—and Conceal—in Education?”
“The real issue isn’t whether to use GenAI—but how it transforms education.”
#GenAI #AIinEducation #Ethics #DigitalLearning #STEM #MIC @stem-mic.bsky.social

Bugün #MASS25’te “GenAI Eğitimde Ne Vaat Ediyor, Ne Gizliyor?” başlıklı davetli konuşmamı yaptım.
“Mesele GenAI’yi kullanmak değil, onun öğrenmenin doğasını nasıl değiştirdiğini anlamak.”
#GenAI #EğitimdeYZ #Etik #YapayZeka

Our STEM Department colleagues immersed themselves in exploring virtual environments with VR headsets as part of @ml-mcn.bsky.social Dive In! project which aims to explore how VR and Gen AI can enhance teaching and learning. Well done everyone! @micireland.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social
