I’ve got a couple of beams in the garage (see bad pics, apologies for the mess). I’d like to throw a couple of gymnastic rings over the top of one for calisthenics. Anyone with any knowledge of structural support know if that’s a bad idea? I’m about 75kg.

I’m lucky enough to have completed a course on Carousel Teaching and can say it is without doubt the best online professional development I’ve ever experienced. Brilliantly put together and plenty of fantastic, real classroom practice (like Abi) to learn from. Cannot recommend it enough.

SCHEDULE RELEASED #edusky Cogscisci Surrey is a month away! Here are the amazing talks we have to offer featuring: @adamboxereducation.bsky.social @drgarethbates.bsky.social @carlhendrick.substack.com @lambhearttea.bsky.social @hugheshaili.bsky.social @mrlockyer.bsky.social @mbdscience.bsky.social

Excellent from @carlhendrick.substack.com. Taps into the way I'm learning at the moment, but also the way I see people engage with art. The idea of '...a world shaped by feeds and fragments, where comprehension is measured in clicks and content must gratify instantly or be discarded...' is too real.

One thing I’ve noticed about middle age is its amazing capacity to give me time consuming (and often seemingly pointless) tasks. Today’s example: pressure hosing the children’s trampoline. I never dreamt of such things in my youth.

Great post on possible challenges with scaling up educational strategies/policies from @alexjquigley.bsky.social alexquigley.co.uk/school-impro...

Spoiler: absolutely not. Hear why I think this is a colossally awful idea 👇🏻👇🏻 With thanks to Dr Jessica Taylor and Jaimi Shrive for their work this topic and enabling everyone’s voice to be heard on this. It’s too important to get risk getting wrong.
