News on the news! The @SkyNews Short is live! 🎥

Only 12% of students said they feel they fully belong at school — this is why the work of the @GECCollect matters.

Watch & share to help raise awareness: https://t.co/7zzSQrZk5c

Every view & share helps amplify my hidden voices.

Ofsted’s new framework puts pupil voice & inclusion at the heart of inspection.

Tomorrow I’m running a free webinar on what this means for leaders — & how you go beyond numbers to evidence inclusion with confidence. Join me!

@NicolePonsford I find myself more and more simply talking about either ‘digital tools’ or ‘when learning happens online’ vs edtech. Edtech becoming increasingly a boxed in and exclusive term rather than just tools for learning that happen to be digital!

[Meg Brough @digi_meg]

Thank you so much to @TH_PatrickM @QuotidienneRose @theaieducatorX and @k_shelton for that deep dive into AI into education. I feel so assured knowing I’m not the only educator overwhelmed by the pressure of a possible AI Dystopia! Really interesting and wonderfully articulated.

The time has come to have twitter in the rearview mirror and hope for the old days of community , fun and debate over on Blue Sky! Still cross posting here and on LinkedIn. https://t.co/sT7So8P105

[Mr G @DeputyGrocott]

I’m seeing lots of posts about Twitter not being the same anymore and I agree. However, get yourself along to the Edutwitter community and it’s just like the olden days:
