I enjoyed this relaxed chat about Shakespeare. PJ understood that I don't want to get rid of Shakespeare, just open up close-study in English to more authors. There were a couple of tech issues until I sat next to the WiFi box..

Yep. As the Owl says.
Computers due to arrive in Lot 4. Just ordered Lots 1 and 2, deadline Sept 12th. No idea when they'll arrive. Unsure when Lot 4 will be available to order. Can't make a film without editing software, which comes in Lot 4. Ingredients arriving, oven yet to be ordered.

The goodwill and enthusiasm of the teachers on the ground, as well as that of the students, can only cover a few of the many holes in the floorboards of this creaking structure...

Interview with this teacher is worth a listen, he speaks well and breaks down the issues, better than some of the teacher union leaders. #edchatie @INOTEnews @IrishSciTeach @humphreyjones @sccenglish @LorraineDillo14 @yvonne_nolan @CoffeeInClass @peter_lydon @o_oide @conorsmurf
Avail of our Early Bird Offer. Ends 31st August.
‘seriously as professionals’.
#edchatie Why would any Irish second level teacher currently working in UK, UAE, Dubai & other countries return to Ireland when these are the jobs on offer? @astiunion & @TUIunion need to highlight the short-term nature of contracts here which are often not full-time either
Report on the consultation on the draft Leaving Certificate English specification: ncca.ie/media/kzhjuuwm… #edchatie
Your morning read is this piece I wrote for @eduint about how teacher workload, and curriculum reform, are so overwhelming they distract us from our core job, teaching students. ei-ie.org/en/item/30196:…
As schools start to return, it would be great to see this reported more widely by @emma_okelly @carlobrien @thejournal_ie @IrishTimesEdu_ etc. it’s time for @Education_Ire to release these much needed guidelines on AI for school leaders and teachers - over 500 days since…

(New). On AI-IA (Artificial Intelligence-Induced Anxiety), as the new term nears, Leaving Certificate reform starts and teachers in Ireland are left without crucial guidance. #edchatie juliangirdham.com/blog/on-ai-ia-…
This was great fun but, thanks to Natasha, also full of insights and observations that will help teachers of Drama, Film and Theatre. Natasha is brilliant. Also, we discuss how depressed fairy lights look during the day. Should they be brought in during daylight?

Scariest part of the article: "Cheating has always existed — students could buy papers or pay others to do the work. That was bad. But this is worse: now the cheating is democratized, more ubiquitous, and easier than ever."

“the fiscal watchdog noted that despite spending less than its peers on education, Ireland generally achieves better outcomes.” Yes, thanks to the hard work, dedication and professionalism of Ireland’s teachers, but the government isn’t tackling the teacher shortage. #edchatie
I am a university lecturer witnessing how AI is shrinking our ability to think? Dr. Alan Kelly, @ucddublin in today’s @IrishTimes irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…
"Creating a middleman by using AI is a waste of my time, a dereliction of my duties, and feels too much like teaching by focus group." Knowing our students through their writing (and talking!) is one of the great privileges of being an English teacher. Connection matters.
