Spent a wee bit of time today with gutenberg the upcoming WordPress editor. Interesting, although I am probably not the target audience. We will need to do a lot of testing for #glowblogs.
Year: 2017
Micro.blog Outshined is an interesting filter.
This week my class (8-11yr olds) were freeze framing in a drama lesson. We reviewed photos & one suggested we make an animated gif #myworkisdone
An oldie but goodie iOS app for the classroom Brushes Redux just been updated. My class love this app.
Screenflow one of my favourite bits of software is 30% off just a great app for making & editing screen recordings. Also fun video editor.
As someone not online for much of the day I am finding the RSS feed from my micro.blog timeline useful in keeping up with stuff that has dropped off the app. micro.blog/feeds/username.xml
I just opened Alfred and typed Sett, thinking iOS Settings rather than System Prefs and the First choice was System Prefs. Nice touch.

- Teaching Students to Legally Use Images Online | Cult of PedagogyMight be a nice guide to copyright.
OPTION 1: MAKE YOUR OWN If students create their own images, then they own the copyright and can use them without having to pay any money or get permission (unless the photos are of someone else…but we’ll get to that).
I like option 1
- BBC – KS3 Bitesize History – The First World War : Revision A bit too much detail for my primary pupils, but should be handy for me.
- WWI Uncut – YouTube – YouTube WWI Uncut BBC series, short programmes. Medical one looks a bit to gory for my younger pupils.
- World War 2 timeline by lindaayers – Teaching Resources – Tes
This can be used either as a teaching aid to help with the chronology, or printed off and laminated as a display. I have it hanging on a washing line from my ceiling and the children refer to it quite regularly. Hope it’s useful.
- E-safey knowledge organiser.docx I am starting to notice some of these knowledge organisers popping up.
- S3 for Poets
Might be useful if I ever want to use Amazon S3 storage.S3 stands for Simple Storage Service.
It’s a service provided by Amazon that provides storage and it’s simple. If you look at it the right way. And it’s Tuesday. And there’s a full moon. 🙂
Simple is in the eye of the beholder. And to a programmer, like me, S3 is simple. But we forget sometimes that what seems simple to us might not seem so simple to a literate person who isn’t a programmer. For example, a poet.
But poets need to store stuff too, and Amazon provides a great service, so let’s dive in and crash through the obstacles and get to the other side, where storage is simple. Dave Winer, New York August 2012

Just found out that if a bare link to a vimeo video is in a post in my WordPress blog it does not appear in the RSS feed and hence micro.blog & twitter. A link to an mp3 does. http://johnjohnston.info/blog/https-vimeo-com-…dness-via-kottke/
