Blippit Boards v3.3.0 introduces ‘Contributors’, a new feature shaped directly by feedback from a teacher looking for a way for EYFS staff to collaboratively build shared exemplification boards. Staff can now contribute observations, evidence and examples to the same board while keeping ownership and structure clear. The feature reflects the collaborative way teachers already work across teams, phases and subject areas.

Teacher wellbeing has fallen to its lowest level since 2019, yet many reflective tools still focus more on reassurance than understanding. This article explores the difference between validation and meaningful reflection, and why teachers may need more than generic encouragement after a difficult day. It also looks at the quieter role AI may be able to play in helping teachers process emotionally complex moments with greater clarity.

A Head told us that they were using Canva instead of Blippit. It wasn’t really about the tools. In many schools, decisions like this reflect workload, familiarity, and cost - not curriculum insight. This post explores what’s really behind that shift, how those decisions are made under pressure, and why capturing evidence isn’t the same as really seeing and understanding what’s happening across your curriculum.

Blippit Boards now allows you to filter curriculum and behaviour data by individual teachers or selected groups. Previously limited to whole-school, key stage, or year group views, this update gives school leaders, subject leaders, and teachers a clearer way to analyse how moments are recorded across staff. By viewing data at a person level, it becomes easier to identify patterns, understand curriculum coverage, support monitoring conversations, and review teaching activity with greater accuracy

Teaching is one of the few jobs where you process your work while you are doing it. There is rarely a clean moment to stop and think. But the thoughts still come: what worked, what didn't, what you'd do differently. This piece looks at why those thoughts matter, what UK research says happens when there's nowhere to put them, and what actually helps. It's not a long read. But it might be a useful one.
