Great to meet Jo Wilkinson at her @HogFriendly virtual stall at the #MSSC21 last weekend! Stall designed and laid out by @LucyTallents with the materials Jo provided. A great project, worth supporting
Happy to be at the @Mammal_Society Spring Conference today!

The virtual space created by @LucyTallents for the @Mammal_Society's Spring Conference included an exhibition gallery for Mammal Photographer of the Year competition. Truly beautiful images of wild mammals, embedded into the conference space for viewing at leisure #MPOY21 #MSSC21

Teaching experience and domain knowledge allow you to do so much more than just create learning materials, but sometimes it's hard to remember that when you're under time pressure writing courses, as @LucyTallents acknowledges in her latest blogpost
Moving to open educational practices intensifies my internal debate about my value as an educator, and challenges me to disentangle my teaching identity from the learning materials that I create lucytallents.com

One week in to my new #ExploreELearning short course for @OxfordConted, and I think I'm finally getting the hang of facilitating virtual group formation following a brainstorming session! It helps that you can change a @padlet format halfway through, to re-organise ideas
