X marks the spot where my tweets used to be.
I've flown the coop to @Bluesky, 🦋
where the drama is lower,
and there's no Musk getting into my senses.
Sorry Twitter, it's not you, it's X 💔👋

As I work on archiving my Twitter account and moving my followers to Bluesky I get an offer for 40% off X Premium! No way that's a coincidence! #leavingtwitter #leavingx #TwitterExodus
See ya Elon, I'm jumping ship with all my tribe: my friends, followers, educators, librarians and geeks all who are fast migrating:
Friends you'll find me here: bsky.app/profile/mlobrien.bs…

This looks amazing. If only all senior students were allowed to use their mobiles at School, and not just those at Independent schools. This could be life-changing for students requiring study or #learningsupport.

How to do school with NotebookLM:
1. Record audio from class on your phone
2. Keep laptop closed. Just jot down short phrases to describe most important points
3. Upload audio and PDF scan of notes to NotebookLM
4. Ask Notebook to expand your notes with details from recording
Bonus: at the end of the week, create an Audio Overview from all your class summaries to review the most important concepts in podcast format.
(As of this morning, NotebookLM now supports audio files--and YouTube videos--as sources. And we've added easy sharing tools for Audio Overviews.)

Here’s a video produced by “Led by Donkeys” out of the U.K. that puts down the timeline of how Musk used X to get Donald Trump elected. I would save it because I don’t think it will be up for long.

Seriously, did any women have any input into this? Did anyone consult men or women who regularly get stalked on this platform? This is just nuts.

Imagine a new type of diaspora- young people opting out of nation states to find a community context they can believe in & contribute to in ways that make them more relevant than being “social capital” @mlobrien1 @BrionyScott @rosejost @KirkupNicola @pasi_sahlberg @JasonClareMP
This is how I like my technology: invisible!

Our focus on teen social media use is obscuring the biggest causes of youth depression and suicide.

So proud of my past colleague, & friend, @shyambarr on the recent publication of his book.
It's a comprehensive and practical guide that offers educators valuable insights into fostering self-regulated learning in students.

Once upon a time, Twitter was ruled by educators worldwide, fostering openness and lasting friendships. Under King Elon, it fell, but last night, Tweeps gathered to celebrate a bright star of the 'old Twitterverse' @ZeinaChalich on her wedding day. – at Sydney, New South Wales
