@marnieh-w.bsky.social’s keynote @1972shp.bsky.social’s annual conference today was remarkable. Lots of synergy between Marnie’s themes - e.g., responsible use of AI tools and narratives - and the wider themes of the conference. #SHP26 1/3
Important to listen to Prof Dan Hicks challenging us to rethink categories and to reflect on art, memory, othering, militarism, empire, time and imperatives to change. #SHP26
John Clare's grave, sirrounded by school children's midsummer cushions in St Botolph's chirvhyard, Helpston, today, at the JC society festival.
Really thought provoking exploration of the cognitive ethics of AI-generated representations of the past @1972shp.bsky.social with Dan Nuttall and Ruth Lingard. #SHP26 Exploring the flaws of images and stories and the sources that AI agents have used to construct them.
Interesting listening to Ben Walsh, Andrew Payne and Laura Howey @1972shp.bsky.social conference explain how they have used AI, trained in criteria for source analysis, to help develop student’s ability to answer enquiry questions and construct argued answers. Lots to work with here! #SHP26
Interesting discussion of the affordances and constraints of disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to history education @1972shp.bsky.social with @uclholocaust.bsky.social and @cpaucl.bsky.social’s Dr Andy Pearce. #SHP26
Exciting 2B thinking with history teachers about analogy & explanation @1972shp.bsky.social conference in Leeds 2day with Daniel Magnoff. Gr8 2 revisit the focus of my 1st SHP conference presentation in 2006 (the Alphonse the camel analogical story) in that context with new empirical data. #SHP26.
