Graeme High School is the 1st to pilot the @parliament.scot First Time Voters session!
Along with the @electoralcommission.org.uk & @officialsyp.bsky.social students will explore how elections work, why voting matters, and how to spot fake info.
This is part of our #UKPW events.

Led a #Curipod session for #ConnectedFalkirk this week. 90 teachers tried polls, drawing tasks, and AI feedback. Mix of newbies and experienced folks, all exploring what AI can do in classrooms.

Halloween's over but the scares keep coming - prelims are here! 👻
Set up a #SchoolAI Space for my exam course. The dashboard shows what students are asking, so I can target revision where they're actually struggling. Really helpful.

🎃 No tricks! #Curipod has two spook-tacular ready-to-go lessons for Halloween 👻

These lessons are full of treats for all ages

🕸️ Candy Bowl - bit.ly/3Wv3RYD
🏚️ Haunted House - bit.ly/3WoSUb5

Or let the AI put a Halloween twist on your lesson 🪄

#EduSk #EduAI #EduSkyAI
A bright cartoon illustration shows a smiling woman with short brown hair and rectangular glasses standing beside a large Halloween candy bowl overflowing with colourful sweets. Some of the candies are labelled “Creativity,” “Engagement,” and “Curiosity.” She’s holding a tablet that displays the Curipod logo. Behind her is a friendly Halloween scene with a purple haunted house, glowing pumpkins, and bats flying across an orange sky. The overall feel is cheerful, fun, and classroom-friendly, matching the theme of Halloween-themed Curipod lessons.

"You will have Smart boards in your classrooms" - that's what uni promised my year group two decades ago. Finally got one and I'm loving it! Students are queuing up to use it, engagement is brilliant, and I'm discovering features I didn't know existed. Worth the wait.

🚧 Taking Cone-trol of the Journey 🚧

A traffic cone might not be the first thing you’d expect to help a teacher find their way with AI… but it’s working for me.

For the last #TechTShirtTuesday of the term, I’m changing it up to #TechToteTuesday 👜

#Canva is a platform both my students and I can enjoy. They just sign in with Glow and get creative!

It’s also at the heart of #EduGuardians — our trading cards started here 😍

👕 #TechTShirtTuesday - this time it’s the shirt, not the company.

Trust me.
But… trust me how? Believe me? Trust the AI because I’m the one using it? Or trust that it’s a good thing? 🤔

Curious what others see in it.

After a positive meeting with our Head last week, my fellow digital lead teacher and I are feeling very much like the “first cone out”, as described in the #Conefessions series by David Curran over on LinkedIn.

They say 3 is a magic number and with the #ListEd podcast from the lovely Kat Cauchi and Mark Anderson it really is.
Here is the 3rd epidose from #ListEd featuring Ivan Langton.
Well worth a listen when you get five precious minutes to yourself

It's more #TechtextbookTuesday than #TechTshirtTuesday but lifelong learning is at the heart of being an #Eduguardian so I reckon I'm okay with a cheeky inclusion of the latest book from @theaieducator.io
Something in here for everyone.

Quizzes aren’t just fun, they’re retrieval practice in disguise.
A quick Teams challenge gives students the recall reps they need and the buzz of competition.

That’s why I make space for @wayground.bsky.social quiz and give them a #TechTshirtTuesday shout out 👕
