Every day we do little things that help us be us (that’s be well, take care of ourself so we can care for others)…but we don’t really share what we do in these moments. When we share we actually help others who need help to do exactly this. Will you share what you do? padlet.com/hello2690/ev...

Kate Highfield sharing about tech for children from when she was a child - analogue, not online, not tracking. Now children have a digital footprint as soon as they are born. Parents post full name, date of birth, and place of birth on social media! #CSET2025

Please respect my emotional state by not using "2025" in any communications as this reminder of the inexorable passage of time is considered a microaggression. Thank you

I wrote a blog post about hope in #EdTech as part of #CSET2025, with the excellent example of the #CitizenWellbeingScientist program from @rellypops.bsky.social as one of the things that brings me joy and hope. Have a look: telt.weblogs.anu.edu.au/cset2025-top...

As an educator I find it really valuable being able to support a student (or colleague) in a mental health crisis. It may not be within my ‘pay grade’, but I’d rather have these skills than not. #AcademicSky #MentalHealth

Once more for the MagicSchool AI crowd and anybody else using narratives of magic to sell AI to school admin, teachers, and students: “We are doing this because AI is not magic. Behind every algorithm are thousands of hidden workers labelling, training & moderating data under precarious conditions.”

This is very good. I’m always torn between making all universities part of a federal, comprehensive system, and turning them into Co-operatives. I do know that what we have now is the worst of all worlds.

Yesterday I made the point that though the horrors persist, so too must the little joys. Tell me about your little joys today, please. I made brownies with a chocolate chip cookie base yesterday, and when my husband makes our second coffees, I’m going to have one while the baby naps.
