BLOG THREAD After @adamboxer1 kindly recommended my blogs yesterday, I flicked through to see what I’d actually written. Here’s what I still agree with…

@teacherhead @WALKTHRUs_5 “helping” is such an important thing to emphasise isn’t it. You’d want the people delivering CPD to be clued up enough to know what they should pick, but maybe use Chloe as a second pair of eyes for a sanity check (as deciding on and delivering whole school CPD can be lonely!)

@TChillimamp @WALKTHRUs_5 Important question. We think it’s more about helping to choose the techniques to do the CPD on. Like a flash search tool. It can’t do the CPD for you

Exciting development for @WALKTHRUs_5 members coming soon. Introducing Chloe, your AI Assistant. Chloe searches for the best techniques to support coaching and teaching. Ask further questions and get into details including suggested questions etc. It's powerful! You'll love it.

@MrARobbins CTRL-F with manners you say? “It looks like you’re writing a letter…”

My favourite mutation of 'AI' is when a company builds a bot that is essentially ctrl+F but with manners and a carbon footprint the size of ocean liner.

We are holding our Festival of Light event on 5th December. Everyone is welcome from 5pm to 7pm #Community #Smethwick

My favourite bandwagon is the “you would NEVER see me jump on a bandwagon” bandwagon

@adamboxer1 We signed up for Bike Club for our oldest to get a really light second hand bike on a small monthly payment and can swap it for a bigger one at any time. Let me know if you want a referral code

@anniescott42 @DoctorPreece That’s great thank you! I’ll try and get her into cosy crime!

@TChillimamp @DoctorPreece Reluctant to suggest this as it is cozy crime but Robert Thorogood’s second Marlow Murder Club book has a great solution to a classic locked door Murder.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION TWITTER: my wife wants a psychological thriller or murder mystery. Has to be fast paced and can’t involve children getting lost or murdered or hurt

@DoctorPreece She’s not a cosy crime fan, but I’m defininitely interested in the first suggestion!

@TChillimamp How does she feel about cosy crime type stuff? Strong recommend for SJ Bennett's four books with HM The Queen as a solver of crime. Obviously, if you go Golden Age, then Wimsey by Sayers, and the Jill Paton Walsh bits?

@Teacher_Fulton Thanks a lot!

@TChillimamp The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum is quite fun. Kafka of the Shore by Haruki Murakami. It’s fascinating and very weird.

@Mathew_Lynch44 @stoneman_claire @Elroy_AC Thank you!

@stoneman_claire @TChillimamp @Elroy_AC Peter Swanson’s ‘The Kind Worth Killing’ or Alex Michaelides’ ‘The Silent Patient’ are two contemporary classics of the genre. 😊

@stoneman_claire @Mathew_Lynch44 @Elroy_AC You’re a star, thanks for your help!

@TChillimamp @Mathew_Lynch44 and @Elroy_AC are who you need for psychological thriller recommendations!

@Elroy_AC @stoneman_claire @Mathew_Lynch44 Thanks so much!

If anyone questions how brilliant Championship cricket can be ... an amazing final day ended with Glamorgan, chasing a world record 593 to beat Gloucestershire, on 592 for 9 as the last ball was bowled. One to win, one wicket for a tie, with a draw also possible ...

@adamboxer1 Is there an Excel tournament happening that I didn’t know about, managed by someone called Gareth?

There is no feeling like the build up to the first England game of an international tournament. To Gareth and the team - we will be with you for every twist, turn and VAR decision. England is behind you. Let's make this a summer to remember.

Love this
