Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 23hThis is very close to my heart: Dai Powell (see article) is a friend of mine. And my Mountain Rescue Team - then a Civil Defence team - provided some of the first rescuers on scene. This is a tear-jerker of an article about one of the most tragic peace-time disasters in the UK.bbc.co.ukAberfan disaster hero dinner lady honoured for saving five childrenAs coal slurry engulfed the school, the dinner lady threw her body on five children, protecting them. 000 0

Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 14/10/2026A6 - Maybe more student-led learning and students teaching students, which could be interpreted as 'what am I paying for', but could be seen in retrospect as a brilliant way to learn and develop. #LTHEChat 121 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 14/10/2026A5 - Critical thinking, because if we don't protect it our brains will go to jello. It wasn't necessarily easy before Gen AI! #LTHEChat 160 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 14/10/2026A4 - Role play. Some students are unhappy about doing it, but end up satisfied with the learning they get out of it. #LTHEChat 130 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 14/10/2026A3 - I'm struggling to think of any obvious part of my practice which is shaped by fear, tbh. #LTHEChat 010 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 14/10/2026A2 - is there an implication with the 'keep students happy' suggestion that we should go easy on the marking?? Is it for NSS outcome chasing? That's probably also the easiest way to measure it. But there are probably better ways to 'keep students happy' - with a fab educational experience. #LTHEChat 130 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 14/10/2026ps the unhappiness was because I couldn't go on fieldwork! #LTHEChat 110 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 14/10/2026A1 I couldn't attend my compulsory Y1 fieldwork because of illness. The uni accepted my prior experience and a certificate from a FE College for a short course I'd done in lieu. The flexibility of my uni was very satisfying. Not sure my uni now would / could be so flexible. #LTHEChat 131 0

Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I saw that on your blog and liked the look of it. We have Wednesday afternoon protected, for sport, student societies etc. as per tradition, but that's different from a slot in between classes where collaboration, peer support or individual quiet times might fit. #LTHEChat 121 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A6 Only one hour? I'd love to make sure everyone got an hour's break in the middle of every day - both students and staff. A proper chance to re-charge and think or chat with peers. #LTHEChat 140 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A5 - I'd love to know! My discussion forums on the VLE don't have much success in attracting discussion. Maybe they have a module WhatsApp that they don't want me on? #LTHEChat 020 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A4 - I chatted with a student who could only afford to by a train ticket a couple of times a week so they had to be strategic, come in on the days there were several classes. Solo classes on a whole day had to be sacrificed 😢 #LTHEChat 150 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A3 I don't take it as a judgement on my teaching - there'll be lots of other reasons students can't make my class. Half the assessment for the module draws on collaborative work done in class, hopefully that highlights that being there in person does matter. #LTHEChat 040 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026A2 - do they have to do a cross-campus sprint to get to their next class? Or catch a train, or get to a work shift? Or just can't wait to get out of my presence! Or because my class was on a Friday afternoon and they want to kick off the weekend? I hate Friday afternoon classes! #LTHEChat 071 0
Kate Gilliver @penarthkate.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Q1. In the Common Room. Included inter-cohort chat. It was somewhere to go between classes, make coffee, chat, pop down to the Strand for doughnuts and chat some more. But only about a 20 student annual intake, so common room feasible. #LTHEChat 160 0
