Preparing to go back to work after 2 weeks leave and reflecting on what I take forward with me.
1. Down time is vital.
2. Big skies are therapeutic.
3. Experiences will always trump ‘stuff’.
4. Polish Winter Teas should be served everywhere!
Thank you Gdańsk ❤️

A great example of an attentive adult modelling communication. Natural, unhurried & without any expectation to replicate fully.
If you are teaching #communication & language to children who will not speak, our examples must also be natural, unhurried with attention to all their efforts to return.

Watch and learn. 👀 🧠
I’ve written often about how infants learn language not just with their ears, but with their eyes.
But I’ve rarely run across a better video example than this lovely moment shared to IG by seanandcaitlin.

I just scrolled #EduSky for a few minutes and counted how many images used alt text vs those that did not.
Only 17 images had alt text whereas 36 did not. This means our community is not accessible to blind users or others who use screen readers.
We have a lot of room for improvement. 🧵
