Change. Education. Development. The Art of Presenting. Simplicity. Guitar Making. Sometimes, one box alone just doesn’t quite fit.

@mikemcsharry @IanStuart66 @Catriona_O @DdmTeacher @NoTosh Forgive me - I’ve only logged back into Twitter because Catriona mentioned me. Was the fantastic stuff shared here?

@Catriona_O @DdmTeacher @NoTosh @IanStuart66 Enlighten me. I’m all ears.

Absolutely.

With Unis and colleges all teaching online; should schools not consider the same method for at least S4-6 in non practical subjects to lower the risks yet further? We should all be ready for BL anyway. @JohnSwinney @BOCSH_Scot

@Emma_Seith @connect_scot @sqanews Creativity and radical thinking are not qualities that are desired by those with the power and control in education. Those at the top seldom get there by being disruptive. And those who are disruptive seldom get to the top.

@Mr_Minchin @GoodMorningMrJ1 @barbaragray58 It should. For all the negatives the lockdown brought us, we need to hold on to the positives. Greater use of technology for professional learning is definitely one of them.

[Andrew Brown @almost_ab]

@GoodMorningMrJ1 @barbaragray58 @Mr_Minchin Much more focus on individual development would help us all greatly. Too often, ‘whole school’ doesn’t let people focus on the things that they need to develop.

Saddened by the loss of Sir Ken Robinson. His views were caricatured by a few, but most teachers, parents, employers understood his key message: that education in the 21st century must move beyond what is simplistically measurable. His voice will be missed https://t.co/Jf2JTgg4T0

Well worth a read

Is that him going on about #exams again?
Aye.
Quite proud to be one of the contributors (under my other identity) to the launch of this website and the long overdue discussion about #Assessment and #certification in Scotland.

[Dr Barry Black @BarryBlackNE]

Please follow @examscot. A new project 'exploring the possibilities for the future of examinations in Scotland's schools'.

Looks set to be very interesting.

Don’t we need a massive talk about what work *is*? We simply can’t revert to the old novelty-driven, trash-making consumer economy. Yet that means huge psychological holes in buyers & makers. Unless our systems pivot to care, play, learning. Where/when do the experiments start?
