OK so time to announce that I am presenting at #ISTE22#ISTELive this year for the 1st time and can't wait! Sign up still available, please come join me! From Japan to New Orleans ✈️
Really enjoyed presenting @FOBISIA1 this afternoon, sharing our story of developing a specialist curriculum with a focus on transfer of conceptual understanding and action #fobisiacpd
I never cease to be amazed by our youngest learners. @dbis_rec were exploring how to be better photographers with #ipads this morning. I was impressed with how they acted on feedback to make improvements with each attempt. This example made me think of #austinsbutterfly
I have loved seeing lots of photos on @seesaw this week as our Reception children rose to the challenge of providing Beebot with a safe space to live - while understanding the key role that responsibility and positive interactions have on welcoming a new member into a community.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.
We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.
RIP to Sir Ken Robinson, an eloquent and indefatigable defender of the role of the arts and creativity in education. His TED talks made him famous, and he wrote major books on creativity in 2001 and 2015. Robinson was knighted in 2003. He died yesterday; his voice will be missed.

For colleagues across the world facing school closure, my amazing colleague @MrHillEdu has put together the most amazing resource to support online learning provision. We are 7 weeks in and the support from @DBIS_DLab has been awesome. I can’t recommend this strongly enough!
This virus doesn’t care about your passport or your bank balance.
It can affect any of us.
But hopefully not all of us if we act in unison.
Be safe. Be sensible. Be sensitive.
One in, all in.
Wash your hands. Keep your distance, but keep your hysteria in check too. /1
