Just 1,500 feet (457 m) from the Artemis II launch, we deployed our special high-resolution, slow-motion camera to record the blast-off in jaw-dropping detail at 2,000 frames per second. Find out how we did it: on.natgeo.com/0BXGmi

Re the AI disruption discourse. The best AI education model I've seen has a hallucination rate of 0.14%. That is great for an LLM - but it's still quite a lot. If every school kid in England used it for two lessons, that would be 1 million errors. Currently you are still going to need humans to manage / mitigate / correct the errors.

Saw some really beautiful writing teaching at @UniCamPrimSch this week. Children were excited to share their compositions with me. Wonderful writer-teachers sharing their own craft. A pleasure to be invited into their worlds. Thank you @robdrane @aimee_durning colleagues

Leadership isn't measured by how many followers you have. It's gauged by how may lives you improve. Selfish leaders divide people to advance personal agendas. Servant leaders unite people to achieve common goals. The best leaders are those who bring out the best in others.

“Adults position themselves as writers within the classroom community, modelling their own writing processes alongside children; a significant shift from their traditional role of micro-managing teacher-led writing tasks.” 👏 👏 @NWPUK

You cannot standardise great writing. When we try, we trade brilliance for uniformity — and all we’re left with is writing that follows — never leads.

NEW BLOG POST Psychological Safety is a vital element of team culture, supported by decades of empirical research. But is the concept surrounded by misconceptions? Has the meaning mutated? And what next? samcrome.com/2025/05/16/resi…

I did a talk about formative assessment and the science of learning at the @LearningandtheB conference in New York last month, and @Inner_Drive's @BradleyKBusch was kind enough to write up some notes. He also asked me some follow-up questions: bit.ly/42Zq9G4
