@marcuselliott Game innit - like darts. Surely anything you can do whilst smoking and drinking is a pub game?

Name that villain:
(aside) Oh, you are well tuned now,
But I’ll set down the pegs that make this music,
As honest as I am.

Would I risk disciplinary charges for having an opinion about this? My first thought, how did senior member of staff know if they only considered it? Is it a double bluff so they can bring in guidelines that actually do restrict what academics can post? 🤔 #OverThinking

Call for sector guidelines on academic freedom on social media as staff reveal warnings, criticism & disciplinary charges by managers over their use of Twitter https://t.co/k3FPuNFw9X via @timeshighered

Found something new to say when I leave a room.

This is what solidarity looks like: "Stop talking about philanthropy and start paying your taxes"

@Sam_Metcalf Draw yourself up some w**k word bingo cards. You can startle them when they say synergy and you shout "HOUSE!"

[GemsK @GemsK]

@Sam_Metcalf We love talking about "spaces" in academia.

@Sam_Metcalf What if they just forgot that morning or it was a new member of staff. She should give them chance to explain - this country!

@marcuselliott You could just have a picture of a toilet

@marcuselliott Do they have separate loos at home. I have more of an issue with the signage which isn't gender neutral ��

A step backward, after making a wrong turn, is a step in the right direction.

@marcuselliott That is satisfying

Is this article suggesting online learning is the best solution for less affluent students?

[Times Higher Education @timeshighered]

“Our higher education discussions are far too focused on the traditional university student. We forget that most students do not fit that profile.”

@marcuselliott Empathy joke, nice 🤦

[GemsK @GemsK]

Can you develop a person's empathy? #creativity #empathy #highereducation

[richard reddrop @richardreddrop]

Future graduates will need creativity and empathy – not just technical skills https://t.co/EnyhWN3uTO

@marcuselliott Do you?

@avesonbateman The context here is HE and Lego as a tool for learning. The design of the activity may or may not encourage an individual to think creatively - it can only ever be a perceived possibility. However, play and making as a way of learning are as old as time.

[GemsK @GemsK]

Using Lego to increase interactivity, creativity and learning in teaching in HE, what are your thoughts? #hohoholego
