The poppy is such a specific thing to me, a person who grew up by the Poppy Factory, where we, as small children in school and at Brownies, regularly sang Old Songs and Christmas carols to deeply scarred, disabled and traumatised men at the Star and Garter. I do indeed remember them.

I am truly shocked to not find more thinkpieces on the incredible graphic design and typography of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign but maybe that’s because searching on the internet is garbage now.

Giving people devices doesn't solve digital exclusion - is just a sticking plaster - and it also doesn't address the societal issues that arise from over-dependence on smartphones. In a democracy, it would also be an odd move to mandate digital inclusion, but I guess we'll see what happens

There is so much to be said about All's Fair on D+ most of which I will leave to people paid to comment on tv, but I must highlight Kim Kardashian in what started as a great waistcoat look, and then, and then she stood up...

I am maybe in quite an unusual position in that ALL of my writing work on Zombies, Run! has absolutely been scraped, the scripts follow something of a formula, so it is a really really good test of how well ChatGPT can take an entire corpus and produce new similar work. The answer is: not well.

A6 Digital leadership acts within, and informed by, teaching, learning and assessment. It is not separate. It is not "just techy stuff". It has to understand what it is to educate and be educated, and it has to care for the experience of educators and students alike. It takes earnt trust. #lthechat
Q6 - If you could change one thing about how digital leadership is understood or enacted in education, what would it be?

A5 Culture is who we are, how we work, and what we do, and I try to show up as my whole self, to be a full colleague, to be honest, realistic, on my Faculty's side, and to be kind. It helps, when there are complex and challenging digital pills to swallow and processes to learn. #lthechat
