I am looking forward to attending the Digital Maturity Gap in Education workshop hosted by @techuk.bsky.social today. What are currently the biggest barriers to edtech adoption in your schools?

Using AI to judge student writing 'has the potential to revolutionise assessment and decimate workload', say @daisychristo.bsky.social and @nomoremarking.bsky.social after their trail of the approach

Using AI to judge writing could 'revolutionise' assessment
No More Marking says its trial found AI is 'very good at judging student writing'

It was fascinating to hear @daisychristo.bsky.social and Lord Jim Knight discuss AI and assesment in this afternoon's AI Sprint on the STEM community. The recording will be live soon but you can watch last week's here: community.stem.org.uk/browse/scl-od #edusky #teamcompsci #uked

We've been sceptical about AI marking. Not any more!

When the facts change, we change our minds.

We think this is really big.

So, can AI assess writing?

Wow! I was surprised to find my old ICTAC blogger is still live: steveclarkeictac.blogspot.com - I started thinking about it after the CAR interim report and the suggestion of AI & digital delivered across subjects. So much has changed but it was fun to look back at and a bit cringey! ##TeamCompSci

Day two of #ASCL2025 conference here in Liverpool and @pepediiasio.bsky.social draws laughs from crowd re: Ofsted.

He says the last thing edu needs is an inspection system that “intensifies pressures."

"It’s a far cry from the Nando’s-style five-point scale Ofsted is proposing." 🐔

Alistair Campbell was the perfect end to a strong lineup of key notes at #ASCL2025 today. With an important and pragmatic message to the room to be strategic to get edu priorities across to government at a time where education realistically is not a top of the list for government. #UKED

A ‘low-accountability’ #Ofsted school inspection system without grades would not be possible, Sir Martyn Oliver tells the @ascl-uk.bsky.social conference #ASCL2025
Ofsted chief: No inspection grades wouldn't be 'right' or 'fair'

A lot of expectations rest on the shoulders of RISE advisors. I hope this is a chance to reach out to existing DfE funded programmes to help build on and connect some of the excellent support that organisations such as @stemlearning.bsky.social deliver which have significant impact #ASCL2025

Bridget Phillipson starts by asking teachers to 'step up again'. I don't think teachers ever stepped down. To step up further requires more resource, more teachers, more CPD. Programmes to support teacher training have been cut. It simply doesn't add up. #ASCL2025

Interesting to see how Bridget Phillips follows that! ##ASCL2025

A fantastic start to #ASCL2025. Calling out the real challenges in education and a humorous but robust challenge of the new Ofsted framework and other core issues.
"As the voice of the profession, we have a critical role in ensuring that education policies are shaped by those who truly understand the challenges on the ground – you."

The curriculum and assessment review will publish its interim report 'in the spring', the schools minister has confirmed, as she ducked calls to rule out cutting core subjects back or scrapping SATs

I am looking forward to #ASCL2025 this week. Previously, I have been on a stand but not this year so I am looking forward to making the most of the fantastic keynotes, workshops and networking. Anybody else going on here? #TeamCompSci #Edusky
