I'm delighted to announce that my 2nd book, An Incredibly Daring Heist Brought To You By A Ten-Year-Old Criminal Mastermind, is now available to buy on my website: ballinacrack.com It was so fun to work on. I hope that it gets into the hands of children all around the world. I know they'll love it!

Tentatively lurking on tonight’s #edchatie, not sure how confidently I can contribute to this one.. but i’m thrown back to a feeling of “oh no” …… is there a correlation between this awakening and laminating less?! 🤔

Only just catching up with this week’s #edchatie ☕️ So sorry to have missed out on the conversation! To synopsise my thoughts on AI - helpful, but best paired with a good critical eye- it makes plenty of mistakes (only human sure!)
