Those of us in Irish education used to have a civilised hour's Mon evening discussion each week 'over there' under the aegis of the excellent Fred Boss.

This evening fire in comments with #edchatie too & let's see where we are.

And wave if you're not in this:

What a refreshing change from the abomination Twitter has become. This place reminds me of what was so good about Twitter years ago: engaging people eager to learn from each other.
