  1. @hlseward Thanks. It's the National Association for the Teaching of English - or 'NATE'. It was going to be in Manchester but they've had to switch to online for 'reasons'. I think it might be low numbers. The pandemic really hit the conference culture hard.

  2. For @hlseward who asked about Fossil Thief, the pop-up bar in #Gunwharf, #Portsmouth recently. We stopped for a couple today. Small inside, not many seats, but quite a few outdoors, so nice if the weather is. Lots of drink options, fewer food, but the beer is basically Staggeringly Good's range and they're our least favourite local brewery; mostly hazy pales, mostly too carbonated. Good to have a bar and local beers there, of course, but we weren't blown away by it.

  3. New Blog Post. It is about my ISTE (international society of technology in education) RFP to present. I'd love it if people would look at my proposal and see if I have any mistakes. Also, I have a new friend. Alonso Martinez. He works at Google AI and is an artist. I recommended him to present a keynote at ISTE.

  4. Went to see Hamnet today. And while I don't think it's a perfect film, I was absolutely bawling my eyes out by the end. It is beautifully shot & it does make you think - and remember - those who have gone. I will try the book again now after failing to 'get through it' before watching it. Interestingly, the person I went with who loved the book, didn't enjoy it at all. Felt it had been oversimplified and had lost all the heart and subtlety of the original.

  9. Following the recent heated discussion re: Marmite, I saw this today. I'd seen pictures, but look, it really exists and half price no less. I wonder why that might be. Reader: I did not buy it. I wouldn't even know what to do with it. They suggest over ice cream, or churros. Or popcorn or savoury veg?? But, even as a superfan, I couldn't bring myself to buy. I might regret that: I doubt they're making more... #Marmite #UKFood #MarksAndSpencer

  14. Wild boar spotted on my commute. It's made the local news and there are police signs up and everything... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2d32

  15. I can see how it's divisive, and people do like to express an opinion about Lena Dunham - but I loved "Too Much" - messy and complicated in that way that "Girls" was, but so British, so "Paddington". As a Swiftie, I was all in for the Antonoff gossip and the references - those "paper cuts"...What does everyone else think?#TooMuch #Girls #Paddington #London #LenaDunham #TV #TVShows #AmWatching

  17. Watched all three episodes of "Jane Austen - Rise of a Genius" yesterday. Highly recommended even if you haven't read any of her books. They've got the most interesting people talking about her and the dramatisations are very good too. It's a really successful mix of education and entertainment. The same people made a Shakespeare one last year (?) which was also brilliant. #JaneAusten #JaneAusten250 #TV #UKTV #Books #bookstodon

  18. Went to see The Ballad of Wallis Island last night. Very sweet, very funny, very moving, beautifully shot on location in Wales (in just 18 days!). Just an all-round lovely film. And about 90 mins. Which is not the Main Thing, but is a Good Thing #Film #FilmMastodon #Movies #TheBalladOfWallisIsland #TimKey

  20. A moment of teaching insanity today - which I did contribute to, fair enough. A Yr11 guessed exactly the poem and question on their Lit Paper 1 - so I bought them a bag of onions as a prize ("I give you an onion" Valentine, Carol Ann Duffy). Another student then proceeded to eat a raw onion, just because. It was a spicy one. Tears and retching ensued. The rest of the day: "It smells of onions in here, Ms". #Teaching #Education #SecondarySchool #CarolAnnDuffy #Poetry #Poem #Onions

  21. I've had a thought, prompted by late night You Tube. I was raised by Alanis Morissette and Lisa Loeb. And Tori Amos. So much Tori Amos. That's why I'm so feminist and left-leaning. I love it. I don't regret any of that... And I'm there fighting the good fight, even still, in schools and in life #alanismorrisette #LisaLoeb #toriamos #Music #Education #SecondarySchool

  22. Survived a first whole week at school. Already been lectured at (not quite sure that's the right verb, but that's what I'm leaning towards) about the next three sets of exams that are coming up within the next 6 weeks - Yr9/Yr8/*Second* set of Yr11 mocks this academic year. These poor kids. Us poor teachers. Sorry - very overwhelmed by workload, already. Just me? @edutooters
