Cannot make Snow Patrol Belfast this weekend - 2 x standing tx face value on Ticketmaster (who have been as useful as a glass hammer in assisting) https://t.co/jkAlkCamTy

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@TMIrelandHelp Have logged request & sent 2 followups; but no TM activity despite email from TM (on Sunday) advising TM would reply within 24h. It's a Belfast gig, but IE account. Can you PLEASE respond? (here or via logged case). Don't know how else to try and get you to respond?

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@psychpolis And you were spotted on duty by your followers too!! ;) Just shown my daughter your account (she didn’t believe me) - thanks for minding us all!

Makes you think when the FT runs an article in praise of China's more restrictive attitudes towards children and smartphones. Maybe we have all been blinded by the Silicon Valley propaganda?
"We must stop the smartphone social experiment on our kids"

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@johnc1912 Wow. Thank you for sharing. Who knew that our goals should be based on those of "The Chinese Communist Party". The FT certainly seems to enjoy this space. Hope readers also take a look at https://t.co/uXYUhIV6rv for balance.

“Syntegration” - great term: @SchoolofEdTCD’s Prof. O’Sullivan’s aspiration for AI within Education - “that third space where *creativity* flourishes” - somewhere in between a neither/nor situation #learnovation2023

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

#Learnovation2023 AI - “How big is the disruption for the learner landscape” great panel discussion with @SchoolofEdTCD’s Prof O’Sullivan; following crazy interesting talk from Ryan Laverty @ Arist incl. “meeting demand where the learner is” … section of lit review addressed!

@mccartpm @msmaryquirke @conormcguckin @KeRitaRen1 @COSiorain @story4thinking A most excellent plan, Patricia 😅

@mccartpm @msmaryquirke @conormcguckin @KeRitaRen1 @COSiorain @story4thinking Hi Patricia! I got a sneak preview of a chapter or two a while back and loved what I read! Such accessible writing. Can't wait to get stuck into the full version - only the small matter of a truckload of overdue writing (and a very patient supervisor!) standing in my way ...:)

Fantastic launch of “Adopting a UDL attitude Within Academia” with @msmaryquirke @conormcguckin @mccartpm @COSiorain at @SchoolofEdTCD this evening!

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@TMIrelandHelp Hi folks, I can no longer attend Dirty Dancing on Fri 8th; and want to transfer 3tx to a friend, but transfer option not available (mobile tx); have spoken to support on chat - is there absolutely nothing that can be done? It can't be possible that there is NO transfer?

@rougewoman Kate, as “comms, advocacy & media for @GEMreport” could you help us get official clarification from UNESCO, either way? Can we be pointed to the section within the report where UNESCO calls for “a global ban on smartphones in schools” - as is being reported widely?

[Terry Pearson @TPLTD]

@garyhenderson18 @CiaraMW9 @C_Hendrick @Rougewoman @UNESCO In case anyone is in doubt, here is confirmation that @UNESCO is NOT calling for a ban on smartphones in schools: https://t.co/ykbLNlL49L

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@TPLTD @garyhenderson18 @C_Hendrick @Rougewoman Thanks too, Terry. It's just a news channel that I'm unfamiliar with; but which interviews GEM ppl; I am hunting down "official" comment on the headline - standard fayre for the topic 😫 My ref = p.157 of report https://t.co/ATh2DsjnHF

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

Agree or disagree with the topic, this headline is misleadingly oversimplified; will impact swathes of schools & parents accordingly. Full para attached (can only assume this is relevant section - Guardian article does not reference a specific statement). Open to correction ofc.

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@TPLTD @garyhenderson18 @C_Hendrick Following - v. interested in reply! Was of same opinion (see no call for a "global ban"?) yet have come across this https://t.co/IkbZDIJIOO where @rougewoman does not correct the interviewer? Critical to know where UNESCO stand here, perhaps @rougewoman can clarify for us?

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@IrishTimes please correct. An excellent report; but a distinctly biased headline - a balanced one not flashy enough for public consumption?

https://t.co/NQAIkSWPts

[Ciara Mathews @CiaraMW9]

@GuardianNews @IrishTimes Do you plan to correct this headline with equal levels of publicity? Cannot know whether your intent was to dis- or malinform, but a key part of this headline needs public correction: Unesco has NOT “called for global ban on smartphones in schools”

[Guardian news @guardiannews]

‘Put learners first’: Unesco calls for global ban on smartphones in schools https://t.co/eYYhQ6cdg3
