The original Twitter was an amazing force for good for me and my teaching practice. As a result I have met amazing people, and been informed and educated, even as I moved to my role at an AO, here’s hoping that this place can continue to help me grow! #FE #LoveFE #MathsandEnglish #FunctionalSkills

#FE friends in a maths/ITE role, please take 5 minutes to help Paul Owens with his @wlvuni.bsky.social PhD research into the impacts of #AI on maths teachers' role and workload.
Fascinating and important questions being asked.
Thank you!

Great spending a third day at #Fitzgerald Contractors in Aston.
We explored how generative #AI streamlines business processes, freeing up time and headspace for innovation.

Get in touch if you would like your team to have a similar day, on or offline!

Three stacked testimonial blocks with text sharing positive feedback about an AI training session. The boxes contain the following feedback text: "The range of material and help that AI can provide is mind blowing" "Looks like the only limiting factor is the person typing the prompts... very enlightening!" "I didn't know anything about AI before the session, I do now. Writing emails in my own style and creating advanced spreadsheets."

Excellent article in Guardian comparing the UK and Dutch approaches to NEET young people - championing the absolute necessity of quality vocational education in partnership with employers.
#FE folk have been suggesting this for years!

Wrapping up the final Award in Education and Training for this academic year with 3 brilliant microteaching sessions on Beekeeping Safely, Technical Drawing and Beginners' Crochet.
Some welcome positive feedback from the lovely
#HWGTA cohort, too! #loveFE #AmplifyFE
This image is a four-panel collage. The top left panel shows two individuals in a classroom setting wearing a full white beekeeper suit with a netted hood, seated at a desk. The top right panel shows a close-up of hands working on a crochet project at a wooden table. There's a ball of burgundy yarn and a small red crochet hook, with some pink yarn strands. On the table are three completed knitted or crocheted items: a light blue figure with intertwining loops, an orange octopus with visible eyes and tentacles, and a green and yellow striped lizard-like creature. The bottom left panel depicts two individuals at a light wooden table engaging in a technical drawing activity using rulers, pencils and graph paper. The bottom right panel displays a word cloud with various adjectives. The most prominent words, in larger font sizes, are "relevant," "friendly," "informative," "enjoyable," and "useful."

I was today years old when I found out about #Gapminder - an amazing resource #FE folk.
Exploding common misconceptions with some great, reliable data for #maths #literacy educators to use in statistics learning and discussion activities.

A screenshot of the Gapminder website titled "The Worldview Upgrader." It features a pop-up welcome message at the top, a search bar, and three clickable icons representing different categories of information: UN Goals, Population, and Refugees. The design is modern with a purple and white color scheme.
