In this episode, Matt is mostly disappointed by this year&apos;s Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar and there&apos;s more 80s cartoon chat. By the way, what was your favourite 80s cartoon?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want to skip to the education bit? Skip to 17:20, where we discuss the recent safeguarding review of Mossbourne Victoria Park Academy, and using our own experiences, stress the importance of schools as a place of safety.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing to Bring would be nothing at all without our supporters. Props to: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Clare Truman from Spectrum Space &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Morten Jørgensen from No Isolation&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dhruv Patel from Nisai&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ray Jarvis from Ackerman Pierce&lt;/p&gt;

Naturally, that means one thing - a bit of a dive into board games and why Matt is scared of D&amp;D. As we've got DC Bradshaw with us, we're taking a deeper dive than usual into Edtech on this episode, discussing some of the ethical considerations of AI in education, including marking and digital exams. That's the serious stuff, all sandwiched between the usual geeky side chat.</p>
