I did a slightly uncomfortable thing and put myself forward for election as @altuk.bsky.social Trustee. I've spent many years voluntarily serving the EdTech community and hope to support the board with the trust and care necessary to sustain and grow the ALT community. altc.alt.ac.uk/blog/2026/10...

The tracks released from the new @spanishlovesongs.bsky.social record capture everything about the current context. We’ve taught our mirrors to speak. We’re just doom tripping. youtu.be/m90lpXj8gDk?...

#CESIcon 2027 - Navigating Digital Futures 4.0, will take place on 27 February in Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh. The call for proposals is now live and open until 11 December: forms.gle/CbZH2P4EScFu... @oidetechined.bsky.social @teachnet.bsky.social

Thinking of submitting to @ijtel.bsky.social’s special issue celebrating 25 years of ILTA’s EdTech? Join the information webinar with @lwnyrb.bsky.social and @kate-molloy.net on Mon 19 Oct at noon. Theme: ‘EdTech You: Digital Learning From How to Who’. Register: dcu-ie.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Join us starting on 12 October for our upcoming open course (with digital badge), Using OER and OEP: opencourses.ie/opencourse/o... The course is open to all and was developed by the loveliest group of open educators in Irish HE 😀 @catherinecronin.bsky.social @eam0.bsky.social

We need to confiscate the World Cup from America I’m sorry

I have done everything possible to keep Mary cool during this heatwave. This evening I found her in the hottest room in the house, at the hottest time of day, perched upon a corduroy stool that had been pushed into the last available sun spot before the sun started to set.

Surely I’m not the only one that sees the similarity here…

This week I attended the Postdigital Backlash: Past, Present, Future conference in Zagreb. I shared a new systemic critique, "Degrowth in Postdigital Learning Design" that is under-review as a Postdigital Sciene & Education chapter with @eam0.bsky.social, James Brunton, & @slowtech2000.bsky.social.

I’ll be in transit for the live chat, but o look forward to catching up on this.

Conference fun with @www.reclaimhosting.com at #EdTech2026

It was my great pleasure to return my debt of gratitude to the @iltasky.bsky.social community by co-chairing the #EdTech2026 at @dublincityuni.bsky.social with @lwnyrb.bsky.social. It was humbling to take on this stewardship for the year -- blog post to follow. Thank you all for participating.

An invitation to conversation: to design differently, deploy differently and refashion our relationships to edtech from @discoursology.bsky.social acknowledging fragility and strengthening our human bonds at #edtech26.

Going to take this on my evening walk tonight ahead of the @iltasky.bsky.social #EdTech26 conference next week -- looking forward to replenishing my @www.reclaimhosting.com sticker collection :)

I'll be joining @magsamond.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy at the @iltasky.bsky.social #EdTech26 conference next as a #Gastateer. We're sharing our experiences as @cesi-ie.bsky.social digital archivists under the @dri.ie community archive scheme: www.conftool.net/edtech-annua...

"You need to long for Holden Caulfield because longing for something is good for the emotionally unwell. That’s what I told my friends when they stopped coming to my parties because I was getting 'too intense' about metaphors."

We are grateful to the DRI for helping us openly share 50 years of history. This valuable collection will be of interest to those researching ICT in Irish education. @iesjournal.bsky.social @educationtrex.bsky.social @miceducationfac.bsky.social @dcuioe.bsky.social @marinoinstitute.bsky.social

I'm looking forward to acting as guest editor along @lwnyrb.bsky.social for this special issue of the IJTEL journal. If you are presenting at the @iltasky.bsky.social conference in @dcuioe.bsky.social on 3 and 4 June do consider expanding your work for this milestone special issue.

The @iltasky.bsky.social EdTech conference takes place in @dcuioe.bsky.social on 3 & 4 June.

Thanks so much for the read and mention, and for putting the monthly roundup on my radar :) @jisc.bsky.social Link to review: rdcu.be/e6ZlN Link to book: www.politybooks.com/bookdetail?b...

Did you know @elaineburke.bsky.social will be speaking at CESIcon on 28 February in Limerick? She recently told the @teachnet.bsky.social podcast what to expect from her keynote on AI. Listen to the full episode: teachnet.ie/26-the-cesic... #cesicon

"Some humans (I think? Hard to tell) in masks and vests showed up this morning and took Manny and Kumal away. As you may have noticed, those two were the only staff—despite this place being open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m."

It was a unique privilege to write this review of Neil's latest book. I can only hope I've done generous scholarship justice. (Shared access via this link for anyone without library access: rdcu.be/e0nbV)

Having received more than 70 abstracts, and due to popular demand, we now extend the call for our Postdigital Backlash conference until 15 February. Look forward to seeing you in Zagreb!

Late last semester, I wrote a review of @neilselwyn.bsky.social Digital Degrowth for @pdse.bsky.social. It was a slightly daunting task considering how much I respect Neil's work, and I hope I have done it justice. Thanks so much for your generous contributions and scholarship, Neil. rdcu.be/e0nbV

Considering presenting at the @iltasky.bsky.social EdTech conference in June? Join my co-chair @lwnyrb.bsky.social and I tomorrow for an informative lunchtime webinar. We'll share some suggestions for developing your abstract and offer some insider insights. dcu-ie.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

This, all of this...👇

when someone tells me not to use em dashes because AI uses em dashes

"I’ve concluded that instead of teaching students to read and write, I should be teaching them how to prompt AI better. If only I’d had a better education in AI prompt writing, I’d be able to get AI to create more AI-proof teaching materials for me."

If you know me, I love a bit of critical tech talk, and I adore a good podcast. I've been enjoying a deep dive into the @fortechssakepod.bsky.social podcast since @cesi-ie.bsky.social invited @elaineburke.bsky.social to be our 2026 #CESIcon keynote speaker. shows.acast.com/for-techs-sake
