What a fantastic welcome talk & a wonderful keynote by @EmmaMBearman @PlayfulAnytime at @playlearnconf! Thrilled with my name badge and the freebies. Just started and already loving it. Looking forward to seeing people from my Shells group now! #playlearn24

Our table's play laws...inspired by Emma Bearman who started the #playlearn24 conference with a keynote! @playlearnconf @PlayfulAnytime #brighton

Post lunch. And I'm looking for inspiration from the masters behind @pedagodzilla... Or should I say, "borrow" some ideas for my @EdBurritoPod or "Body in Focus" #podcast (that I'm doing with my students!!) #playlearn24

So wonderful to see @SFaulknerPandO getting started with her sketchnoting for the opening session at @playlearnconf! Eager to see her creative reflections of sessions in art form, even though she’s at another table. #playlearn24

Just arrived in beautiful Brighton and the @SussexUni campus is impressive. Registration all sorted! Looking forward to the conference sessions now. @playlearnconf #playlearn24
