Do you know someone in the East of England who would make a great headteacher?

Do they want to join a growing network committed to eradicating educational disadvantage?

Would they benefit from an intensive year of development with a cohort of leaders?

Ask them to join our info webinar TOMORROW

Some of the ghost tours are fun, but I'd struggle to pick a particular one. There's a ghost bus too.

How are you using gen AI tools to teach #computing in your classroom? I’m looking for ideas that go beyond ‘knowledge acquisition’ and ‘debugging’ to something more detailed! #TeamCompSci #CAS #EduSky

As a current student on such a Masters degree, I love the flexibility. I'm pretty sure, though, that the sequencing, assessment and general quality is not as well thought out as F2F.

Growing up cheering on the same heroes, I think that is a bold statement. It's not one I disagree with though*

Hail the Egyptian king!

Over-inflation of the GenAI bubble was surely inevitable. Watching hype merchants either holding their nose over the smelly outputs of some models, or deliberately seeking to plough through with self-interest and positivity, feels familiar. Good use cases will settle out, but the world hasn't tilted

This.

There are so many ways in which AI can potentially help teachers and reduce their workload.

Let's stop solving problems that don't exist, and talk to teachers about the challenges that are real.

It's great to see BlueSky really taking off, with lots of new follows in recent days.
Having left Twitter soon after Musk arrived, I've fallen out of the habit (and become a little LinkedIn dependent).
Hoping the Twitter-of-old atmos is back in BlueSky, and I can get back on the horse.

Are there any secondary schools doing great things with recycling and sustainability?

Would love to hear about it to see how we can improve at my school. Thanks hopefully…

National Cyber Security Centre on LinkedIn: #cyberfirst #cyberfirst If more girls were able to explore their interest in tech, we might have more women in the industry. That’s why we created the #CyberFirst Girls’ Competition…

#Norfolk schools! Sign up for year 8 girls to compete in a range of cyber tasks and the winning team will each take home a brand-new laptop and they might even win a cash prize for their school too.

Looking forward to reading more about how this enhances learning, without sidelining teachers. To be sustainable, the teachers must develop too.
