Vital for some, valuable for all. Big thanks to Apple Distinguished Educators @jacobsquick.tips and @missaird.bsky.social for allowing us to include their brilliant accessibility resources in our new Accessibility Kit! π
Another stone cold legend of the English faculty.
Epic has Drakakis written all over it.
Still buzzing about this Canva panel at BETT26. I was so proud to stand in front of β¨excellentβ¨ real world examples of how our Falkirk schools, leaders and teams are using Canva to create, collaborate and build a strong visual presence and voice for their learning communities.
Finally getting a second to post about BETT26. This year for me was all about connection, creativity, catalyst (and Canva) - already this week plans have started to be put into action! π
Lovely to see you as always my friend!
Approximately 345 hot glue burns and two Hobbit films later and we have the completed felt chains ready for next week! π

ποΈ Next up in the AI series is Exploring Assessment and Feedback on 24 Nov.
The festive crafts are fully underway in our house. One cardboard βgingerbreadβ house a day until December. With the added bonus of REALLY helping make space in the recycling bins.
Recycled cardboard, scissors and a white marker or chalk pen (or paint) and youβre good to go. π¦βοΈβοΈ
Next week, alongside our AI session, we also have our Digital Learning Ideas and Inspo for Shared Device Environments. If you are teaching P1-P5, this one is for you!

Congratulations! I found Orbital very hard going despite its size so extra kudos to you. Since weβre coming into Autumn Iβm going to suggest something witchyβ¦
What a week! Had a wonderful time at the worldwide ADE & ALC meetup where I got to chat a bit about the creative magic of constraint and one of the most fun film projects Iβve ever done in the classroom. π¬π€« #AppleEdu

Just two digi gals brightening up week two of summer in the office by trying the viral M&S sandwich - purely in the name of research. π
Verdict was mixed - as @misslbairdfc.bsky.social could tell instantly by our puzzled first bite faces! π
