For the first time this semester, I ordered notebooks for my students. Instead of submitting typed papers online, they’ll be journaling regularly, by hand, to analyze what they’re reading.
In the age of AI, many of us have gone back to old-school blue book exams. But I’ve also found it exciting to try something different. I told students that these journals are not optional: they need to keep them with them, and I’ll collect them regularly to give feedback on their writing and thinking. I also emphasized that I’m not looking for perfectly polished pieces of writing, but for ideas in motion, questions, and close engagement with the texts.
We’ll see how it goes, but so far, I’m hopeful.
Congrats to Kate Brennan, Maura Hughes, Amy Warde, Ali Hughes (Captain), Áoibhín Reilly, Kayla Hughes and Leah Costello (missing from photo Isabelle Hughes) on winning the Connacht Final with BCS today. The team won comprehensively with a scoreline of 2-11 to 2-06 against PCH.
Congrats to @Thenealegaaclub, who won the @stcolmanscu South Mayo U16 B Title following their win over @CarrasGaa in Hollymount this evening

NEW: Australian identical twins speak in sync after witnessing an armed carjacking incident in Queensland, Australia.
This is hands down a top 5 interview of all time.
The twins, Bridgette Powers and Paula Powers, explained how their mom came face to face with a carjacker.
The pair was wearing the same exact outfits as they spoke in sync to the reporter.
Remarkable.
NEW: The Australian "In-Sync Twins" give an update on their mother after she came face to face with a carjacker.
Fantastic.
The twins also told a story about the time they were separated for over two weeks.
They also answered questions regarding their "romantic" lives.

An ingenious idea from my students today to use an image on their phone when finding the focal length of a concave mirror. I can discard my ancient ray boxes now! Or maybe people have already been doing this 😂 @BankPhysics@PhysicsIreland@eilishmclough@Hookean1
