As you might be able to tell, I am updating a slide deck on AI and Education. Here's an @APA expert report on children’s and adolescents’ learning with educational technology together with a summary: apa.org/pubs/reports/childre… (pdf)
Made a start on my exploration of ‘community’ on Substack. It’s probably my first long-form post in public for over a decade. It’s a whole new world but communities are still at the centre of the action :-)

I’m excited to see our @GlasgowCC pupils use @Apple #Keynote to bring Glasgow’s icons—like Mackintosh & @irnbru to life!👏With #EveryoneCanCreate, #AppleEducation makes blending history, culture, and creativity so easy. Can’t wait to see others' creations!🎨✨@EdISGlasgow

Love the new #EveryoneCanCreate ideas on #AppleEducationCommunity. I had some fun playing with Early Learners Create a Sticker Collage. ✨
I tried the Reducio spell from Harry Potter, and now I’m smaller than a chocolate frog. Guess I’ll just stick to reading for now…

Six months ago, I couldn’t write a single line of code in #Swift. Today, we kicked off citizen workshops in Vallensbæk Municipality on idea development, apps and coding in Swift. Yeah ✨

Six word stories as we come to the end of #ANZSummit24…what a way to spend a week! So many lovely reflections on the Apple Education Community Forum: education.apple.com/discussi… @peterford
A wonderful week of connection, learning and sharing at the #ANZSummit24
‘Passionate folks building community smarts together’ #sixwordstory
Excited to be on my way to the Apple Education Community Summit in Sydney. Looking forward to (re)connecting, learning, and avoiding being photobombed by the legend that is @jeffvardy #AppleEducationCommunity
Reflecting on 10 wonderful days of in-person connection in Belfast, Lisbon, and Bengaluru. Feeling weary. Feeling grateful for lovely colleagues - and communities of passionate educators that continue to inspire me to action :-)
