How AI lied and gaslit me:

Won’t lie: what happened to me this week made my jaw drop

Do watch:

It's finally done, I can't believe it. After months, I have finally plotted every single Atlantic hurricane landfall on record.

There are approximately 1,167 hurricane landfalls listed. This is so unreal to look at.

It’s results day - be kind to yourself if this is when you get your BTECs, T levels or A levels. You may surprise yourself - and even if you feel disappointed - there will be a way to your next chapter https://t.co/AfPZeN3kG8

@SarahWoods66 Good to see you’re getting out and about. Keep getting better.

[Kate Arnold @KatefromUK]

@MattChorley sad to see you leave Times Radio, but you’re moving on to new things. I left NewsUK 35 years ago to go to the BBC. As one of the messages said: ‘Auntie’s gain is Rupert’s loss’. Good luck in your new job.

@SarahWoods66 Well done. Rest up and get well soon. Do exactly as physio says. I broke my shoulder last Aug and followed physio instructions and all healed well. The garden will be there next year.

Lovely unscripted moment this morning in the Welsh Parliament as a brilliant young choir from Ysgol Treganna in Cardiff - singing Safwn yn y Bwlch in rehearsal - bump into the Prime Minister (watch their reaction at the end 🎶)

I had a glorious surprise today. One of those thank yous that make a teacher’s day. A year 11 student, who was vocal in lessons, dropped off a lovely thank you card and cake. #teachergifts #teacherthankyous

@Andyphilipday You’re welcome. Here’s some info about his departure: https://t.co/bZous4MZSG

@kate_stockings @Andyphilipday A bit late to this discussion, but was having similar chat today while volunteering with the education team at RHS Wisley. Everyone agreed they couldn’t remember a time when there were so many slugs. Put it down to wet, mild winter!

Have you changed career and become a teacher? If so, please complete my short questionnaire: https://t.co/MZnHQXtMyG.
This is part of a MA researching transferrable skills of career changer teachers.

Schools have admirably dealt with refugee children for years: Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Hong Kong.

An influx of kids from private schools is not quite the challenge the Education Secretary seems to think it is!

@jwebbery How long is her work experience? If two weeks can she do a week in school and a week somewhere else?

[Kate Arnold @KatefromUK]

@missgeog92 Our dog was had usual symptoms: panting; drinking lots (2+ litres of water) and sleeping lots. Once on steroids she reduced water drinking drastically, and stopped panting and seemed much more herself. Our dog was 8 when it started and apparently it's a disease of older dogs.

@DoctorPreece @Strickomaster Not sure about teachers notice in North America; but most other professions 2 week’s notice is standard. Employment law is very different to UK nations.

[Nathan Burns @MrMetacognition]

A few years ago, I wrote two metacognition guides with @OUPSecondary

1) a guide for teachers with practical strategies for the classroom

2) a guide for students to support their revision and learning
