Scotland’s most prolific teacher vlogger gives his tips for creating content – and calls for all teachers to share their practice ‘more freely’
Henry Hepburn, @Henry_Hepburn & Emma Seith, @Emma_Seith interview Blair Minchin (@Mr_Minchin). Interesting opinions on sharing, returning to school during covid and more. I imagine Blair’s class go home exhausted every day.
I’d love to give this a go. Maybe to reboot radio edutalk
Sharing in case this is useful or sparks ideas! Here's a quick "trailer" for a craft + code activity using @scratch . Hoping to share more resources like supplemental videos and planning worksheets soon. #MakerEd #ComputationalTinkering #TinkerAtHome pic.twitter.com/DpVA5418GE

Wondering if this would be good for class to watch.
David ShanskeAfter a gap of over a year, we resumed our IndieWeb podcast and got together to discuss what has been going on, how we have been building the community during the pandemic, and about our topic of micro.blog. There is also a video attached this time.
Enjoyed listening to this. Getting a take on micro.blog from the IndieWeb point of view was interesting. As usual listening makes me think I should dig into the IndieWeb a bit more and get this blog working the way I want.
Ok, listen up. Podcasts are stupid. I’ve got good reasons too, if you read on. There are two types of blog posts – ramblers (like this one) and informative. That’s generally what you’ll see on the Internet. Most personal content is a rambler type of blog post. It may be the most succinct two...
There is a lot to agree with here. I’ve been guilty of creating podcast with all your worst nightmares, skype, rambling and more.
But I love podcasts. Two main reasons, one the sound of voices is different, for me, than reading a post; two, I can listen to podcasts while driving to work. I don’t want succinct information, I want to be able to do the equivalent of rambling for listening, picking up bits and pieces, thinking of something else, paying attention to the traffic.
I remember when I started podcasting there was a txt file going round that explained, by example, how much better plain text was. That is fine if you can look at it, not so much if you are washing the dishes:-)
Enjoyed the rant!

Listened to @KateClanchy1‘s Poetry activities for schools: The Table by Edip Cansever ripped from YouTube. Which is great. Kate Clanchy uses poem ‘The Table’ to inspire pupils to create their own poems. Loved the poem and read to my class this morning.
I found the Castro Podcast Player sideload function rips youtube to audio, saves that to a m4a in your iCloud/Castro folder and then you can then add it to your Queue. A nice alternative to huffduff-video.
TL;DR: Going forward, Thought Shrapnel will be a bit more random.
Hi Doug,
Like Adam, I welcome the random and change is always good. Been enjoying the Open Thinkering of late too.
