Thank you to Lucy Gray for another exceptional GLOW conference.

This quotation you shared today sums up why global education is so important. Thank you for motivating us to stay hopeful.

@kwamesarfomensah.bsky.social have you featured @teach4justice.bsky.social on your podcast? So much of his keynote at #GLOW2025 made me think of your work.

Looking forward to watching the rest of his fantastic TEDx talk: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjTU...

Just attended a keynote with Alfredo Silva @teach4justice.bsky.social & there were sooo many mic drop moments. Absolute 🔥🔥🔥

'We measure what's easy to grade, not what matters for their future.'
"What if kids didn't need to choose b/t their heritage & their education?'

If you're an educator and you haven't read this yet, do yourself a favour and get a copy.

@zoeweil.bsky.social thank you for another inspiring talk at #GLOW2025 🙏🏻

I've taught about #WWII for years & this was a history I knew nothing about.

Thank you @rutasepetys.bsky.social for this incredibly important book.

One of the most important (& infuriating) books I've ever read. Everyone needs to read this.

Another thought-provoking read. Can't believe I missed this one when it was first published.

"What's the point of having a voice if you're gonna be silent in those moments you shouldn't be?"

I'm way late to this party, but this incredible book is a must read for everyone - not only young adults.

@british-airways.bsky.social - extortionately expensive & not better. Lesson learned for me. Choose at your own risk.

History, memory, nostalgia - some of the ideas discussed in this episode. As a #historyteacher I really appreciate the views that @clintsmithiii.bsky.social holds about history & reckoning with the past.

History shows us the truth - limiting women's rights is bad for everyone, not only women.

@emmasouthon.bsky.social @j9andif.bsky.social I just listened to the latest episode about Shakespeare, and I was so happy to hear Janina say that the English language had gone 'buck wild.' I didn't realize how much I'd missed that (was nearly every episode back at the beginning 😊).

This incredible episode of #CautionaryTales and the subsequent one about the #RadiumGirls reminds us why we need to stay vigilant as workers and consumers, and why it's critically important for the government to protect #workersrights
