@NickyBenedetti my family and I are in Barcelona this evening and are on holiday from Edinburgh. We are watching your amazing performance. Your performance of My Love Is Like a Red Red Rose brought a year to my eye. We are so glad we bought tickets to watch you this evening.

I have had lots of teachers asking me if they can use my children’s stories to make online videos for their pupils. Normally you have to get the author’s permission but please feel free to do whatever you like with my books at this time. Use them at toilet paper if that helps. x

While standardized tests have remained relatively the same over the last 100 years, the way we understand literacy has greatly changed.

Prof. @CarolCampbell4 discusses literacy in the age of social media in a piece she co-authored for @ConversationCA: https://t.co/CFhIDJ6NI0

The more I think about it,progress is not about improvement.Improvement cultures default to backwards-glancing; more of the same, only tweaked. Be bold,be daring,be different - don’t renew,redesign;don’t refurb,reform; don’t improve,transform. #realchange #transformation

@SkyNews interesting report this morning on North and south of England divide re. Education due to poverty. Would have been a good opportunity to talk about the Scottish PEF funding which is specifically tackling such an important issue all over the UK.
