I Give It to You by Valerie Martin

I Give It to You by Valerie Martin ★★★★☆ 📚
Set in Italy, mix of World War II history and the story of the story. Echos of The Leopard with the decline of the land owning class. More than one level of betrayal.

Liked The Instagram ads Facebook won't show you (Signal Messenger)

Companies like Facebook aren’t building technology for you, they’re building technology for your data. They collect everything they can from FB, Instagram, and WhatsApp in order to sell visibility into people and their lives.This isn’t exactly a secret, but the full picture is hazy to most – diml...

More Learning from Lockdown 2020. Exhausting change ideas to learn what does and doesn’t work! @FifeCYPIC @Burntisland_PS pic.twitter.com/8oD51kOV1K

Provision of IT equipment to a family to overcome digital exclusion did not increase their engagement with online learning

Not unexpected. But I am finding this series of posters from @FifeCYPIC really interesting. Wonder if they are available as pdfs?

Seeing all over how teachers are using minecraft. Have used it a little myself but only with the free trial use (and with my own subscription) Question...if you had access to minecraft here in Scotland would you use? Poll below. Share ideas of use in thread #TeamMIEEScotland

I’ve used Minecraft edu a wee bit & minetest (free) before that. Both **very** engaging. I do wonder how effective they are for the amount of time spent. I wonder if there is any research? Thinking of some of the lessons.
