Last class with 1st years before their exams used a ābrain dumpā relay. Each group moved to a different way station & added any words they could think of.
In hindsight assigning different colour pen to each group wouldāve been more impactful, but Iām very impressed with results

I have a very enthusiastic 1st year student who entered and has qualified for the @BTYSTE competition by herself!
She is investigating if age/gender have an impact on a persons ability to detect AI generated images as opposed to real ones. Survey here surveymonkey.com/r/356GBR5

Thank you, Loreto College Foxrock, for having us today. It was wonderful to see the Abbey in Rathfarnham, where Teresa Ball started the Loreto congregation. Later, we had the privilege to meet some retired Sisters who promised to pray for our new mission in Aweil. @LoretoFoxrock

Great 2 days spent working with the HSE focusing on facilitation skills for SPHE in the classroom.

You've embraced the essence of SPHE teaching. Your commitment to developing skills is shaping brighter, healthier classrooms #SPHE #Teachers
