Oddly specific advice: if you’re ever worried about travelling halfway around the world on a plane with your pets… just check out these two goobers two days after their hell flight from Shanghai. They’ve just discovered carpet and birds and couldn’t be happier 🎉

Do you think this op ed title will be accepted by the magazine editors? Asking for a friend...

Look, if they’re going to tell me I can’t read it, I 1000% am going to read it. (And yes I do see the irony of using Audible to do this… four months to go until I’m back in the UK and can finally access a library again!)

Our head of marketing took a lot of photos on the night but these are the only ones I care about 💪🏻🙌🏻🎉

When I promise to update my husband on the two important things happening today; the China school awards and tickets to the sumo in London going on sale 😂🎉

Living the dream, two new laser engravers working non stop since their arrival on Monday! First up, a few tests, some art deco style gothic Operation games, and some very snazzy artist statement displays for our IB art exhibition!

Nothing better than walking into the makerspace today to find our new Bambu printers already set up and benchy’d 🥰🥰 We have the BEST EdTech assistant! (Also if benchy’d isn’t a word, it is now!) #makerspace #edusky

“Process and expectations go hand in hand … teachers should break down the process with students and for students.” Time for @mralexedtech.bsky.social presenting on writing with AI, and is already off to a good start! #EdTechGZ

Next session is a pretty packed panel featuring @drshannondoak.com and more! Love this point from the head of Shanghai American School: “What we’re all aiming for - student empowerment, agency, collaboration - is not what’s measured in tests”

Talking about meeting my internet people, @mralexedtech.bsky.social is here and since we only ever talk online (despite literally living in the same city) he has a weird obsession with me actually having feet.

New obsession: “versa blocks” made by Gary Donahue over at Chadwick International in Korea. I need a million kits and I need them now!!

First #EdTechGZ session with @mgwalchmai.bsky.social - Making Making Matter. Getting lots of ideas for how to adjust our MakerEd programme at DCSPX. Love the amount of integration with curriculum going on!

Look, I'm not saying that I have a terrible habit of working on workshop presentations the night before I'm supposed to run said workshops... but I'm not NOT saying it!

I committed myself to the most ridiculous December challenge: an #edtech #innovation and #makerspace advent calendar aimed at getting cross-curricular STEM happening for all age groups. First up, laser cutting contour maps in #geography class. Let me know if you give it a go! #EduSky

Having some fun testing the 3D scanning app from @niantic.bsky.social to scan some makerspace furniture in the hopes our primary school students can do their own scans and 3D model some redesigns! Just gotta get better at scanning the gaps too… #edtech #EduSky

Two absolutely top notch books that I recommend to anyone stepping into the #EdTech coaching sphere. Thought it’d be worth sharing with everyone else as it’s recruitment season in the international school world! Do you have any other books you’d recommend to an EdTech coaching newbie? #EduSky
Two books on a great couch. The first book is pale yellow with large red text that says “The EdTech coaching primer” and then smaller text saying “supporting teachers in the digital age classroom”. The author is Ashley McBride. The second book is black but with a photo of a ceiling that has a lot of big old lightbulbs. The title of the book is “e learning ecologies” and the book is edited by Bill Cope and Mary Kalantzis

If you're anything like me, you collect random articles, images, and screenshots that you're determined to go back to later... only you never do. I've been using a tool called mymind for almost a year now and it has really been a game-changer for staying on top of things!
Screenshot of the "mymind" website. A simple website showing square tiles. Each tile has a screenshot of a news article or image and a heading explaining what the article is about. Article titles in this case are "AI and the myth of personalised learning", "Do coding boot camps make sense?", "wikipedia declares war on AI slop", "fluffy AI and sceptical teachers", "openAI releases a teachers guide", "the dark library: when language...". There is also a preview image of an infographic about inclusive language and a link to a google labs website.

Teamwork makes the dreamwork in #edtech world. Teachers in Y3 asked about using AI with students. After introducing them to schoolAI, I was blown away when I went into a classroom and saw students interviewing an AI Qin Shi Huang and then writing profiles about him in their books 🎉 #EduSky
