Back After Seven Years
It’s been seven years since my last post here in 2018. Life has a way of moving forward, and if you’re curious about what I’ve been up to during this time, you’ll find more details on my sister site, “While You Were Teaching.” Though that site hasn’t had much attention either, it’s been updated more regularly and offers insight into my recent journey.
“While You Were Teaching” serves as my space for engaging with current educational research and thinking through ideas out loud. This site, however, will focus on the practical side of education; resources, websites, and organisations worth knowing about as I discover them. I’ll also share teaching strategies and classroom approaches that have proven effective, though I’ll try to keep any waxing lyrical to a minimum.
The world has transformed dramatically since 2018, with the most striking change being the emergence of AI technology. Yes, I’ll be incorporating AI into my workflow. While the content and ideas remain mine, I’ll use AI to help polish my writing, occasionally generate images, and assist with any coding needs. Despite legitimate concerns about AI, the reality is that I’m a full-time classroom teacher, and time constraints have been the biggest barrier to consistent blogging. AI might finally give me the efficiency I need to post more than once every seven years.
Here’s to more regular updates ahead.
