Sometimes, just changing how you do things can really help you move forward. You’ll have no doubt noticed that I haven’t posted a blog for ages. And you know what? It wasn’t just me being lazy, honest! I’ve actually been working on writing my new book, which I’m already excited…
Twitter as a source of professional learning is an interesting premise. As someone who has been heavily involved in using Twitter as a source for my own professional development for more than a decade, taking control of my own professional learning before I even realised that was what I was…
The BETT show is not just about finding out about new technology, it’s about the professional learning opportunities you can get and of course the networking. As this short poll I created last night on Twitter shows, people love to attend edtech events and it isn’t just about the technology:…
We all need inspiration. Sometimes it’s the pay packet at the end of the month which motivates us, sometimes it’s job satisfaction, sometimes it’s a tweet we’ve seen or a blog post or book we’ve read. Sometimes it’s a colleague or a lesson of theirs that you’ve seen. All of…

Originally written for @InnovateMySchl, and definitely not a new idea, but again I thought it was worth reiterating. With that in mind and with a bit of an update, here’s my post on why I think teachers should tweet… That’s right – I’m that teacher in your staffroom talking about…
I wrote quite a long, detailed guide to Twitter for teachers back in April last year. It proved really popular, but it wasn’t really staffroom fodder and didn’t really fit onto a presentation slide either. With that in mind, I created a crib sheet version. I haven’t included one of…
Social media in education has the power to transform all manner of aspects of school life.
