Today are the nominee presentations for the Higher Education Psychology Teacher of the Year award. I woke up nervous about it. I guess it does not matter how many presentations you have given in your life: When you care, you will be nervous. Good luck to all fellow nominees. #edusky #academicsky

Call for teachers to participate in online survey: My dissertation student is exploring the experiences of Additional Support Needs (ASN) teachers on using learning strategies in everyday classrooms. Survey takes 30 minutes and is anonymous. uofg.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... Thanks. #edusky

As term starts, lots ahead for educators in Ireland to discuss in the revived #EdChatie sessions on every second Monday evening. More details: www.juliangirdham.com/blog/edchati... Many thanks to all who are hosting, and pls repost.

It took me so many takes to record one 20-min intro video for my Cognitive Psychology course. I find it so much easier to lecture in front of a classroom than to record a video. It's done now and I'm looking forward to lecturing on Reasoning to a crowd of students next week. #edusky #academicsky

The #LTHEchat is happening right now. Follow the hashtag and join the conversation. ✨ #academicsky #edusky

Let's do an uplift to start the semester. Share your favorite student comment from your fall evals! Mine: "Everyday she came in excited to teach us which in return made me excited to learn." #AcademicSky #ITeachAnatomy #Science 🍎

In the student evaluation I was referred to as "a mega intelligent psychology mother to all" and I think this could make for a great t-shirt. Very grateful for the positive and constructive feedback from students on Semester 1. It made my day! Roll on Semester 2! #academicsky #edusky

Is out of office. See you in 2025. #academicsky #edusky

Loving seeing all the Spotify wrapped posts of parents claiming it's their kids fault. Suuuure. Deep inside you have been enjoying the tunes, admit it.

Final dissertation meeting with my students in 2024. We had productive weekly meetings throughout semester 1 and I'm looking forward to continuing supervising them in 2025. #edusky #academicsky

Great to see University of Glasgow on here! Follow them on @uofglasgow.bsky.social.

Very happy to be on the shortlist for the Higher Education Psychology Teacher of the Year award among all other fantastic candidates! ♥️

Literally no high like this. They should regulate it.
