Is AI really forgetting everything…
Or is it just limited memory? 🐠

We explore how AI memory works and what could come next.

🤔 If a NOT gate turns a 0 into a 1, where does that 1 come from?

We’re diving inside the tiny transistors that make digital logic work.

🚨 Has Ofsted really changed?

The new report cards promised a fresh approach… but are we really seeing a different system, or just the same old game with a new coat of paint?

Craig & Dave have their say.

E-ink = screens that behave like paper… powered by tiny charged particles that really don’t like being rushed 😄

Why does it use so little power? And why has colour taken so long?

Should teachers make all their own resources? Or is it okay to buy them in?

Craig & Dave discuss resource creation, teacher workload, collaboration & the role of AI & why a hybrid approach might be the best of both worlds.

Under-16s could be banned from social media in 2027… but will it actually keep them safe?

We look at the proposed ban, facial age checks, ID verification, VPNs, Australia’s experience & what the evidence actually tells us.

📚 Framework or formula?

Teaching models can be incredibly useful… but when guidance becomes a rigid formula, are we taking the professionalism out of teaching?

💻 Fetch, decode, execute… still a thing!

Modern CPUs just do it with pipelines, speculation, and chaos like an over-caffeinated octopus 🐙⚡

GCSE results may look flat, but the reality behind the numbers tells a very different story.

Our latest blog explores grade 4, comparable outcomes, the challenges facing schools & what GCSE results really tell us.

Is our education system set up for students to fail?

Around a third of students don’t achieve a grade 4 in English or maths. But is that failure?

We talk GCSE results, grade boundaries & suggest a rather provocative alternative!
