@johncutlefish @AdamHarmetz @jackiebo Nice. I guess it will vary depending on whether the customer wants that too, so it’s key to understand the ecosystem and the user’s relationship to it.

[Michael Chilcott @kognitymichael]

@AdamHarmetz @jackiebo @johncutlefish I guess I’m wondering how the RH venn reality should affect our thinking.

[Michael Chilcott @kognitymichael]

@AdamHarmetz @jackiebo @johncutlefish This is so true, but how should we imagine our product sits in our customer’s world? I wonder (but don’t know) if there is more value in imagining the LH-diagram while acknowledging the reality of the RH-side.

What’s more, this will widen an already-huge gap in access to arts, which further removes it from everyday life.

[Michael Chilcott @kognitymichael]

This is utter cultural vandalism from a government which doesn’t understand the value of education beyond ‘potential future earnings’. The UK government is utterly bereft of cultural understanding.

UK government approves 50% funding cut for arts and design courses. The move will save around £20m, says the education secretary Gavin Williamson. https://t.co/WsOVib6I01

Important letter in the Times today. Please share this one freely -bc

So utterly short-sighted, brainless and damaging to subjects which were constantly underfunded and under attack even before this stupid plan.

[Musicians' Union @WeAreTheMU]

The Government has announced plans to impose a catastrophic 50% funding cut to arts subjects at higher education (HE) level in England, including music.

Have your say in the consultation before 6 May 👇

@guffsafc73 Thanks! You too - especially to Chris Maguire. All-time Oxford sh*thouse.

[Michael Chilcott @kognitymichael]

So impressed by the work that @imagilabs are doing - can't wait to see how they grow!

[Michael Chilcott @kognitymichael]

@guffsafc73 Me too, to be honest! But we lost a couple of key players from last season, and I don't think we've got over the play-off defeat. I keep expecting things to pick up as we've started slow in recent seasons - but I think this is a bit beyond 'starting slow'!!

We work a lot with @wearsetuk and Matt himself, and they are a fantastic bunch. Also look at the shirt choice - one more reason to work with them!

My 2nd day at #atmma19 - I'm looking for some feedback on some sample material that we have to show. I'd really appreciate 5 minutes of your time if you teach secondary maths (or if you're just interested!) I'll be milling around or at the @KognityEd stand.

[Michael Chilcott @kognitymichael]

I’d love to speak to teachers to get some feedback on an exciting new digital resource we’re working on. I’m around Tuesday and Wednesday, please let me know if you have 5 mins to spare! #ATMMA19

@pensez_fort @educationgovuk @DamianHinds @Dilectae Really on board with this. Encouraging signs from the DfE but they have ignored the question around funding at a time when schools are already stretched so thin.

[Michael Chilcott @kognitymichael]

Really interested to see the unveiling of the #edtech strategy today by Damien Hinds. Potentially very exciting, but it does feel like the government haven't really answered the key question of where the money for this is coming from. Interested to hear your thoughts!
