Can’t remember budget ‘case studies’ ever being quite so funny. Especially in newspapers that recently anointed Liz Truss a fiscal genius.
Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph
Because this does NOT add up!
No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

New research with @clareroutledge.bsky.social

The vast majority of the research my kids do in art is with the stacks of books we've got. I spend a lot of time leaping over to the shelf to show them similar ideas and make connections. Web research inevitably gives the same top images, but books cover so much more and they bank stuff for later.

Ed tech and the best lesson I taught this year.
The best Ed tech in the world for my subject is a book.
It is the ideal delivery method because the effort of concentrating on it helps people learn what's in it.

48. The Photo Book is another one I used to love in my school library (they had the big version, I only got the small one, but still packs a punch). I've not included one of the pictures I like most coz 'adult content' but check out 'Nude Woman Wearing Meat Packers Gloves' if you can. #52ArtBooks25

@januszczak.bsky.social @bendorgrosvenor.bsky.social I have a question about C16 strawberries. Can they be about resurrection if they're not being gorged on by lusty Bosch people? What with all the seeds, I extended the pomegranate/cucumber stuff I read. Or is there normally a naughty-fruit element?

The smallest boys were singing and trying on shepherd costumes today. We've never had shepherds in our school before. This is a glorious thing.

This is a misunderstanding of what the two-child benefit cap was isn't it? I reckon most people think it's about child benefit.

I've got emerging ideas about how we can learn from AI processes in education and @carlhendrick.substack.com keeps posting things that make them emerge more. I'll write something on it all once I've got Sofonisba Anguissola out of my head.
A new paper argues that current generative AI tools offer little benefit for genuine learning unless students already have substantial prior knowledge. genAI gives probabilistic summaries, not the kind of support that builds expertise.

47. This guy's pretty familiar and certainly what most people think of alongside the Accademia Gallery in Florence, it's worth the queues to see David, but there's more to the gallery than just the big guy. I particularly enjoyed a bit of saint spotting in this one. And the aircon. #52ArtBooks25
