New Dawn Fades - Joy Division
The Beginning - Snow Patrol
Ready to Go - Republica
Tomorrow - James

That's cool!

Agree and the officials are having a clunky game too - very stop/start

#FestivalofEducation - a packed venue earlier today for @robrobson137.bsky.social session on leading #AI in schools and colleges.

It's been great to meet so many delegates today - if you've not been able to pop by, Sean, Tiffnie and Richard will be back tomorrow at Stand D19!

#EducationFest

I agree and selling 'cures' and 'solutions' reinforces this massively

Huge thanks to you all! What an absolutely fantastic event 👏🏾👏🏼👏🏿

I loved the passion, the humour and the stark message to all of us that too much work has a terrible effect on our lives and health - sadly, I learnt the lesson the hard way and still need reminding. You did exactly that and I am returning home to make a few changes...

@lewisgoodall.com was excellent as #ascl2025 's last speaker - really profound, reminding us that class is still alive and well and that we need to fight tooth and nail for the most disadvantaged children

@samfr.bsky.social is up now - I have heard Sam speak a few times and he's always excellent - really looking forward to this #ascl2025
