Is Rachel Reeves actually drinking water, at the budget? The one occasion when you are allowed a 'drink' in the houses of Parliament?
I guess that's fiscal responsibility...
Yawn.

Working on a module where learners create infographics/mind maps for formative assessment. Any recommendations for easy-to-use tools in #Moodle that donโt require extra teaching? Ideally with a simple onboarding tutorial. #edtech @A_L_T @AdvanceHE_chat @EdTech_HigherEd @moodle

This does not surprise me.
Assessments needs to change to become more holistic, less knowledge-based, adapted to the changing tools used in the workforce.

Let's not blame the folks who are still using AI detection in higher ed; it's painful to acknowledge that there just isn't a fix-it approach that works. It's time to invest in professional development. Faculty need support to define how they will combine various other approaches so AI doesn't get in the way of learning.

AI detection in school is a losing game.
AI detectors have high flaw positives & teacher intuition seems to work even worse: โHere we show in two experimental studies that novice and experienced teachers could not identify texts generated by ChatGPT among student-written texts.โ

Great article, quick read on whether to use a CSS Framework or Vanilla.
I like to use a mixture myself. Never tried Tailwind tbh.
What's your feel?

Today, it's all about celebrating @RichardW_Dev' first work anniversary with us at IKON Training! He's been our go-to magician for all things digital. But let's not overlook his other worldly passion for our feathered friends. Richard, the undisputed champion of the bird table!

I told a shop-worker today that I was an 'ex-teacher'.
She asked if I was retired.
๐ฅ
I am 39.
Sigh.
I guess that's what a decade in the classroom does to you.

On the plus side, I met a student I had taught who remembered me fondly. She seemed to be doing well.

@Fairphone looks amazing. Ethical, sustainable, made from recyclables and a 5 year warrantee! That's amazing. Longest I've ever made my phones last is 4 years.
And, @CraigJDuffy, you'll be pleased to know it runs on @Android. Yay!
