I was having a little think about how we train AI. Thinking about the implications that this has: I asked AI to write me something, then I told it to forget it had written it, then I checked again. It forgot that it had written it.

HOW can you expect me to pick just one show and THEN just one gif? πŸ˜‚ I chose this because I think it’s the show I’ve binged the quickest (thanks lockdown). I must rewatch sometime, the gifs alone make me smile.

Looks like it’s going to be a great week to focus on the weather! #AllTheSeasons Starting this morning with my little learners looking at the Weather app and comparing our weather with others around the world. Feel free to send me any photos of your weather from round the world! 🌍

This week as part of our Great Outdoors topic we’ll be looking at all things weather. I’ve got great plans to get my little learners talking about it. Ordered this book too, ready to read tomorrow. If you know anything about NI… we like to talk about the weather a lot. #4SeasonsIn1Day #EduSkyPrimary

Using #EveryoneCanCreate Get Closer to the Detail activity in a Forest School lesson.

Take a close up photo of a spider web and explore the details, marking up the photo with adjectives to describe it. A great way to mix nature and language through iPad.

So my strategy this morning has been to go find people I know, see who they know… and keep going down the rabbit hole. I’ve found #EduSky and #EduSkyPrimary, any more recommendations? Feels like my first day of school. πŸ˜…

Hi Bluesky! I’m tiptoeing in here with high hopes of reigniting great connections and finding old #AppleEdu #AppleEduSky buddies. πŸ‘‹ I’ll be pulling up a chair to talk about all things tech in education, teaching little learners and helping kids reach their potential. 🌟
