Does anyone remember during Brexit, @mrjamesob.bsky.social used to post 'What fresh hell is this?' almost daily? For months now, I've been feeling those vibes on a global scale

Very much looking forward to speaking at this @cesi-ie.bsky.social event and engaging with fellow practitioners. AI in education is a very fluid space and the more opportunities we have to share experiences, the better.

Following a wonderful collaboration with Matthew Martin and Karen McGivern from St Mary's University College, Belfast, we are delighted to see our SCoTENS report online. Available here: scotens.org/invite-inclu...

At first glance, a quintessentially beautiful Irish landscape. But in reality, it's a deadzone. The graveyard of a once species-rich Atlantic rainforest wonderland, smothered under sheep and, in the distance, sitka. We are, however, waking to just how much has been stolen from us.

Word of the Day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet individual whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

A #ceasefire is not an excuse to forgive and forget the atrocities that have been committed and those that have committed them. Now is the time for justice and for criminals to be held to account. Action and justice now.

All set up for VR demonstrations tomorrow

A real bugbear of mine is online systems, developed in Ireland, that cannot accept fadas or "O'" in someone's name

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

Palestinian Journalists Protection Center #PJPC: • Israel begins the new year by killing a journalist every 24 hours in the #Gaza Strip: • We condemn the crime of killing young photographer Areej Shaheen in an Israeli airstrike on the #Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. #Palestine

Yesterday, I spoke on the Pat Kenny Show @newstalkfm.bsky.social about the ongoing death of Ireland's tiny remaining native rainforests, down from around 80% to only 1%, of which less than a tenth is ancient, mostly due to overgrazing by invasive sika deer + goats: www.newstalk.com/news/invasiv...

There is still some time before this survey closes so please feel free to share. Thank you @dcucreate.bsky.social @dcuresearch.bsky.social @dcuioe.bsky.social @dculibrary.bsky.social

Great to see resources like these being developed. Well done to all involved

I had some spare time over Christmas, so I added a very rudimentary 'quiz' feature to this. If you click on 'Test your knowledge' 10 random phrases will appear in sequence, with multiple choice options for their translations. Might be useful for teachers in class. irish-phrases.netlify.app

The global New Year resolution should be to act against this horror. #stopthegenocidr

As the festive period comes to a close, I asked my girls (4,4,6) what the best thing about Christmas was. Their response: Christmas crackers! If you need me, I will be spending the remaining 14 weeks of January staring regretfully at my bank balance

The great shame of the international community is that headlines like these don’t move them. #SanctionIsraelNow

The perfect use of AR doesn't exi....

When I read conversations about "accelerating learning" I can't help but think of this @howiehua.bsky.social classic:
