I think one of the key differences between Bluesky and Twitter is that here you don't constantly get distracted by seeing things that are designed to outrage you. It's not an echo chamber here, it's a place where you can think clearly.

Took delivery of this brilliant, just published handbook yesterday to gift to my COO. However, just ordered an extra copy because it’s so good I’ve realised I will need to dip into it for guidance now and again!

I’m just so excited to be able to open a social media app and see it filled with only educators sharing awesome things. It’s been a long time. #EduSky #EduSkyAI

Tonight I’m reminded of this old idea I often shared on Twitter.

An app like this isn’t going to change your life, but the educators you meet here will.

Grateful to have a space like this open again.
