Christina Pozzi speaking at EITEdTech25
Refreshing to hear from Christina Pozzi- having been through the education system does not make you an expert in education, schools are not a machine to be fixed. Collaboration with students, teachers is essential for developing useful tools. #EITEdTech25
I would argue it is a little more nuanced - what if the teachers are integrating smartphone use into the classroom session? Also it doesn’t consider EDI issues - where a student relies on particular smartphone use to support their learning.
Antoaneta Angelova-Krasteva stresses the importance of digital sovereignty and European ed tech tools, built on European values. #EITEdTech25

#EITEdTech25 has started in beautiful Brussels. Looking forward to speaking on the second panel - about student digital skills. We want our students to have the best learning outcomes, and teachers to have the best tools. Start with people, not platforms. ❤️🙏

Great to be at Running up that Hill - about sustainability of small independent theatre companies in Ireland, NI and Scotland. I am learning so much! #CreativeGalway
3 days in the new job. Made some progress today. Feels like 2 steps forward and 1 step back, with a few hurdles and obstacles to work around.
I swore I wouldn’t do this again. Bus at 2:15. Arrived airport 4:45 for 6:30 flight. Too early. All for #OER25

To sustain wellbeing, we must build universities where compassion is expected - not exceptional- and where wellbeing is lived, not just spoken about.
Lovely 2nd keynote from Bridgette Bewick about compassion in HE. Sadly missing at a whole university level, although glimpses during the pandemic response.
A little bit strange to be back at the CELT conference at Galway Uni. Excellent opening keynote from Paul Vare. Hearing about ESD Educator Competencies. aroundersenseofpurpose.eu

Plenty of food for thought about Assessment Design in an AI world from @phillipdawson.bsky.social keynote. Stressing focus on validity over cheating. There is no such thing as AI-proof assessment. We need a Swiss cheese approach. #DigitalEd25

Lovely to be back on the Galway campus at @atu-ie.bsky.social for the DigitalEd 25 conference and great to reconnect with @ntutorr.ie colleagues. President @oflynnatu.bsky.social opening.
What a privilege to spend the afternoon talking about excellent teaching with @crehanm.bsky.social and @kenmccarthy.ie and others. One of the highlights of the year.

Why we are no longer posting on X In line with University of Limerick’s ongoing commitment to providing engaging, transparent, diverse and positive communications through our digital channels, the University has conducted a review of its presence on the X platform (formerly Twitter). Due to the sustained decline in engagement, concern as to the veracity of performance data, the prevalence of automated traffic, an ongoing EU regulatory review, and the increased presence of toxic content, UL will cease posting on the X platform. This decision aligns with our commitment to responsible digital communication and safeguarding our online community as well as our own team members. The University will continue to prioritise social media platforms that provide a safe, engaging, and effective environment to communicate with our audiences, while remaining open to reassessing this decision should the platform’s content moderation practices and user experience significantly improve in future
Today UL has made the decision to no longer post on X
