Last year I found out I got a national teaching award and within 2 hours my partner's water broke. This year I found out I've been made a Senior Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy and didn't know if I should tell her. But honestly far prouder of my son's first selfie.

Absolutely love this!! No better example than why you need to #LearnByDoing through practice. It's the only way you'll figure out what strategies work for you! #ALM101 #ALC708.
My secret tip before recording a video or anything that needs me to be attentive - pull my hair hard enough to feel the pain and sit or stand with a straight back and eyes wide opened!.

Just re-published 4 gamification-themed blogs from a now extinct website in the space of 30 minutes. If anyone's subscribed to my main site and is wondering whether I'm inventing a new form of 'speed blogging', I promise there were no drugs involved 🤪

The brilliance of children was no more evident today than when I heard a toddler respond to a question at an educational native wildlife show. 'What important thing do we get from trees?'. 'Toilet paper!!'

Little social media interactions can be very important in the long run. Recent graduate and #CommCareers2022 speaker @a_jay15 just reminded me of an exchange we had on Twitter maybe a year ago. You never know when reaching out with feedback and support may make a difference.

I was really looking forward to the #CommCareers2022 Mega Zoom tomorrow, then Emily took my gamified quiz, re-ordered it, and made it look 820% better. 😔 #ALM101 #ALM201 #ALC708

An 'Easter Story', connecting to some past and present themes students will be reflecting on. #ALM101 #ALC708 #NotToday.
A wee thread about a young boy and the tweet that got away. Feel free to RT. Three weeks ago my youngest, Gabriel 12, came home upset. His love of woodwork was not deemed cool, nor was only having 6 followers on his instagram. 1/15
