Digital Education in an agricultural college. Not a work account

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

Interested in edu writers, researchers and depts focusing on pedagogy of academic writing and skill, broadly conceived. What should I read for developing writing, argumentation, debate, inductive reasoning, oracy and rhetoric?

@farmbotio hey folks, I’m having a bit of trouble setting up the z axis. We’re an agricultural college in the UK and the Farmbot is the centrepiece of a new building. Have sent an email, any and all help very much appreciated

@SMcfarnell There’s a philosophy book called “what’s it like to be a bat” on this very idea. It’s great!

@bennewmark The original 6 day Madison track bike race was essentially this!

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@tstarkey1212 Excellent, I was hoping they’d get this out soon

1. I don't want to at all diminish the scale of his achievements but every time I see this covered I think of Rob Garside and one of the greatest sports stories of all time. Hardly anyone knows about it.

We investigate how cash-strapped local authorities are reducing their post-16 high-needs support. While much of the noise on councils' SEND cuts has been around schools, pressure is being felt in the FE sector too - especially in 'safety valve' deal areas

@TabitaSurge The many threads make this a proper rabbit hole which I’m very drawn to!

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@Trudgeteacher @JamesHandscombe I mean, I view it as similar to the old do 4 subjects in the first year and then drop one, or doing the EPQ in terms of size, but I have not experience of teaching it and clearly people do view it as extra work or otherwise more would do it!

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@JamesHandscombe @Trudgeteacher It’s a shame that Core L3 hasn’t taken off in that respect

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@UoDPost14ITE @EduKayte @FurtherEdagogy That is a cracking way of doing it!

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

HE assessment: I’ve seen a couple of instances of unis starting to reduce presentations in their summative assessments. Anyone else doing the same? Sort of expected the opposite to happen…

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@EduKayte @UoDPost14ITE @Lborocollege Wear that crown with pride! An excellent teacher, was a pleasure to observe

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@damien_page Bit rich from a columnist

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@SlauHaus @TabitaSurge Also true yes. Regional papers especially

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

@TabitaSurge Does she know what happens if you’re in a hole and keep shovelling? (I hope the subeditors also found this hilarious)

🧵 What do peace-keeping duties and armed conflict bring to the table when it comes to parent meetings? More than you think - A quick thread on how to defuse this sort of situation.

Elicit itself I’ve taken a while to be sold on, but asking it to concept map and then perusing papers based on this does add something beyond the normal search engine stuff. Creating a summary table of all this work does make literature review stuff feel a bit more systematic

[Dan Phillips @dan_pgce]

Using Elicit, itself an AI assisted search of academic papers, has given me a dizzying array of possibilities in AI and education? Kind of shows how early this subject is in its development

@pollymackenzie @Charlesknight I’m not a military person apart from family, but this style of badge appears on a number of uniforms https://t.co/3Ab0wSS6Qv

@CCguerilla @YetAnotherShaun So much to think about there, thank you!
