To transform the country and take on the populist right, Labour must heed the voices of its radical realists - and build a principled, practical, popular left alternative.
Join @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social and together we can bring that alternative to life.

Primal scream seems appropriate.
A milestone to be truly celebrated.
Wonderblocks is a new CBeebies programme, released on Jan 20th, that aims to develop children's early computational thinking skills & problem solving. I'm very proud to have been involved. @compscitsui.bsky.social @milesberry.net @computingatschool.bsky.social

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.
A new paper challenging Cognitive Load Theory has just been published. I've been hoping to read a good criticism of CLT for some time but unfortunately this is not it. THREAD ⬇️ 🧵

Calling all school librarian friends, can you help my PhD student @pkiamstilllearning.bsky.social by completing her survey on digital citizenship in English schools. More details and a link to the survey here: blogs.city.ac.uk/digitalcitiz...
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
Madrid, Manchester... is that all you've got? #YNWA
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.
We need to talk about #foodpoverty in the #earlyyears - under-fives are more likely to face food poverty which is damaging for early development - see our new report on this important but neglected topic
The gif we've all been waiting for.

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!
*although his right is a little weak, his left foot is magical.
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
Teacher professional development specialist, in STEM. Same motivations, different approach and scale.
Can anyone on the US side of the pond tell me whether Google Learn About is as exciting a development as (Google) folk say? learning.google.com/experiments/... not available in this backwater.
Trough of disillusionment here we come (at rapid pace)
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.
Say it as it is Louise Haigh. You're making all the right moves.
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…

#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.
