I had a sneak peek at this, and this approach from Stuart Pryke has genuinely revolutionised how my students are approaching structuring their essays, and most importantly how they are creating effective thesis statements. There’s more new ideas here that I can’t wait to go back and

If you scroll through Zelenskyy’s feed you will see the leaders of over 30 countries declaring their support for Ukraine since Trump’s Oval Office tantrum. How embarrassing, that Donald Trump’s actions have put us in opposition to the free, democratic nations of the world.

Finally watched Adolescence. The world’s given its take and here’s my microscopic contribution: the school in episode 2 is entirely plausible. Writing its depiction off as an ‘insult’ to teachers is tribal. I’ve seen many schools with this decaying level of culture. What

Jumping on the AI action figure bandwagon! I'm increasingly finding AI so valuable for work... but also how clever is it that it can do things like this?!

In Japanese, "tsundoku" means collecting books and letting them pile up, not for neglect, but for the joy of knowing they're there, full of untold stories.
