Some learners ask a parent, others ask a professor mother and now some ask AI. So what homework help is fair, and fair to whom?
Don’t miss Session 7.9: AI and Homework: What Kind of Help Is Fair?

Never waste your time & life trying to become someone else. Who you are is not a liability to be managed, it is an asset to use for your advancement.
The things people told you to hide: your background, accent, culture, age, gender, story may be the very things that make your contribution unforgettable.
Stand tall because your difference is your superpower.
#Lifeat60
One danger of success is believing you have learnt enough.
Your qualifications, titles, awards and reputation may open doors, but they cannot guarantee future relevance.
I refuse to let yesterday’s achievements prevent my tomorrow’s learning.
Stay teachable.
#CareerWednesdays
I turned 60 on Sunday! Celebrated with close family & friends and rounded it off with an adventure at the sand dunes. 🥳
My tip today is this: Watch what you eat. Of course genes matter, but lifestyle matters more.
Don’t get it twisted, I am not chasing youth, I am investing in healthy ageing!

Your degree is not a lifetime guarantee of relevance. I earned my PhD at 35, I am almost 60 and still learning new skills.
Why? Because the world keeps changing.
Your qualifications reflect past achievement. Your learning prepares you for the future.
#CareerWednesdays
Every Tuesday, starting today, I will share one tip on how to age in good health. We start with the easiest one: move every day.
You don’t need money to join a gym. Just walk to the shop, play with the children, dance to your favourite song or do a few squats while the kettle boils. Our grandmothers walked for kilometres & carried water and their bodies stayed strong for it.
Let’s challenge each other: to do a 20-minute walk every day this week.

In 8 days I turn 60. Aging is an incredible privilege, not everybody gets to get older.
I’m grateful I get to experience it feeling healthy and strong. #MyYearOf60 #Turning60 #blessed #Grateful
Your career cannot be built on what you almost did.
For e.g., almost submitted a Masters or PhD thesis, almost applied for an opportunity, almost launched an initiative or business, almost published a paper or book, etc.
At some point, you must FINISH.
Potential becomes valuable when it becomes evidence.
Be known as someone who gets things done! Someone who finishes tasks.

This morning I walked from Hyde Park to Melrose simply because I can and it was good. The body is the first place we practise discipline because everything else depends on it.

Sunday Session 7.7: AI Can Be Wrong. Can Our Learners Tell? nitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nJOLQydR…
What would convince you that an AI answer is trustworthy? A reference? A detailed explanation? Agreement from another AI tool?
Bring your ideas to Sunday Session 7.7: AI Can Be Wrong. Can Our Learners Tell?
We’ll discuss how educators can help learners test answers and develop confidence in their own reasoning.
🕔 Join me live this Sunday at 5pm SAST.

People often say, “Always check the answer AI is giving you.” But what must a beginner know to do that well?
