Notion vs GDPR
Is Notion GDPR Compliant? Depends on who you ask but first, what is GDPR? Wikipedia tells us that GDPR is “The General Data Protection Regulation (EU) (GDPR) is a regulation in EU law on data protection and privacy in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).” But what is it really and how does it impact us as teachers?

Alcohol: An Evolution
We approach the end of the 6 weeks in which I set myself the challenge of publishing 250 words a day and I am looking forward to a short break from writing despite feeling like I still have plenty to share. So I now have a short priority list of things to write about and […]

Life in the Fast Lane
About a year ago when the first national lockdown was announced a month after I had turned 35, and I was coming round to the idea of sitting at a desk for the next few weeks (what little I knew…), I read a couple of articles about how one’s metabolism can start slowing down around […]
Fatherhood vs Ambition
One of my favourite blog-posts of all time is this one, written by a guy I know nothing about, apart from that he’s called Paul Graham, a number of his thoughts on having kids are similar to mine and I sense that he’s a good man. http://paulgraham.com/kids.html There’s something satisfying about reading something where someone […]
