@Lenandlar @quintincutts Thank you! Hope all is well with you!

[Nicola Looker @NALooker]

So pleased that my first article, co-authored with @quintincutts , is now published open access https://t.co/9JjDpupV3Z Nerve-wracking to present at #UKICER but a great experience! Looking forward to exploring the paper’s ideas with our students and teachers #CASConf25

no, strict behaviour policies dovetail perfectly with ableism, structural racism, and the punitive policing of children's language. https://t.co/qGt9AKHl3L

Please can you put me in contact with however deals with accessibility at @DavidLloydUK - not at the individual club level but at the organisational level. Being offered chair yoga whilst still having to pay the same fees misses the point.

[David Lloyd Clubs @DavidLloydUK]

@NALooker Hi Nicola, thank you for getting in touch. Please send us a DM so we can help further.

[Nicola Looker @NALooker]

@DavidLloydUK Who can I email to discuss accessibility at your clubs?

Recommendations to add to a literature list focused on the relationship between reading & computing? Asking for a teacher who will collate and share with others. She's interested in whole-school approaches & the impact on her subject. Thanks 🙏
