The festive crafts are fully underway in our house. One cardboard ‘gingerbread’ house a day until December. With the added bonus of REALLY helping make space in the recycling bins.

Recycled cardboard, scissors and a white marker or chalk pen (or paint) and you’re good to go. 📦✂️✏️

Fully obsessed with the September @adobeexpress.adobe.com creative challenge. A cosy quilt that lets learners show off what matters most to them. Dying to see colleagues attempts - gies a swatch of your patch!

What a week! Had a wonderful time at the worldwide ADE & ALC meetup where I got to chat a bit about the creative magic of constraint and one of the most fun film projects I’ve ever done in the classroom. 🎬🤫 #AppleEdu

Just two digi gals brightening up week two of summer in the office by trying the viral M&S sandwich - purely in the name of research. 💭

Verdict was mixed - as @misslbairdfc.bsky.social could tell instantly by our puzzled first bite faces! 🍓

The final day of DLLW25 was an absolute belter. Esteemed guests Steve Munby and Dan Fitzpatrick working with leaders and educators to explore possible futures and encourage progress over perfection. Strong messages and plenty of food for thought. 🧠💭

It was so wonderful to see everyone!

Big thanks to @missp-chs.bsky.social & Mr Paterson from @larberthigh.bsky.social for participating in the panel. And to @aiwithaileen.bsky.social and @tricksybell.bsky.social for sharing their working knowledge and experiences with NotebookLM and Google Sites.
Brilliant start to DLLW25 today with Andy and Laura from Canopy. Lots of interest in Gemini (especially canvas) 😯 ‘that’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen!’ and NotebookLM 👀 ‘I didn’t know we needed that until I saw it’. The Knoster/King model also giving LOTS of food for thought! 💭

Loved this super simple yet effective idea for a QR display in @stfrancisp6.bsky.social! As an extension, learners scan to access a Blooket focused on practicing whichever times table they want to work on. Independent and interactive with pupil choice and reflection on learning and progress. 👌🧮✨

Despite every day feeling a bit like April Fools Day recently, this remains true. Media and information literacy is more important now than ever and April Fools day pranks by big companies can be a great way into discussing the importance of critically evaluating information online. 🤡🤔💭
